Access

What it does

When your agent uses it

• Approving a pairing code
• Changing the DM policy
• Editing the user allowlist
• Opting a channel in

Example prompts

• “/slack-channel:access”
• “pair my slack account”
• “add user to slack allowlist”
• “/access”

Requirements

• Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires Claude Code with the slack-channel plugin installed (state under ~/.claude/channels/slack/); pairing confirmations additionally need the MCP server running.
• Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Bash(chmod:*), Bash(mv:*)

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

1. 1Load access.json
2. 2Find the pending entry matching (case-insensitive)
3. 3If not found or expired: show "No pending pairing with that code."
4. 4If found

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit cfae287. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

• Tool permissions

  Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

  • Read
  • Write
  • Bash(chmod:*)
  • Bash(mv:*)

  From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

• Runs code

  No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

  From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

• Network

  Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

  • github.com

  From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

• Credentials

  Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

  From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

• Compatibility

  Requires Claude Code with the slack-channel plugin installed (state under ~/.claude/channels/slack/); pairing confirmations additionally need the MCP server running.

  From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Access loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 80 tokens; SKILL.md has 753 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it

~80

When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches

~2k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

Manage Slack channel access control — pairing, allowlist, channel opt-in. Use when approving a pairing code, changing the DM policy, editing the user allowlist, or opting a channel in or out. Trigger with "/slack-channel:access", "pair my slack account", "add user to slack allowlist", or "opt in a slack channel".
