At a glance
Builds chat bots once for Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Discord, GitHub and Linear with the Chat SDK, covering event handlers, cards, modals, streaming and state adapters.
- Writing a bot that should work on several chat platforms
- SKILL.md covers Critical: Read the bundled docs, Quick start, Core concepts and Event handlers, plus 4 more sections
- Needs SLACK_BOT_TOKEN and SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET
- Handling mentions, slash commands and reactions in a bot
What it does
The skill is for building multi-platform bots with a unified TypeScript Chat SDK. It tells the agent to read the documentation and type definitions bundled in node_modules/chat before writing code, and lists which doc covers setup, usage, streaming with the AI SDK, JSX cards, actions, modals (Slack only), adapters and state adapters. Core concepts are the Chat entry point, platform adapters, pluggable state (Redis for production, memory for development), threads, normalized messages and channels.
An event handler table maps triggers to functions: onNewMention for the bot being mentioned in an unsubscribed thread, onSubscribedMessage for any message in a subscribed thread, onNewMessage with a regex, onSlashCommand, onReaction, and onAction for button clicks and dropdown selections. A quick start creates a Chat instance with a Slack adapter and Redis state.
When your agent uses it
- Writing a bot that should work on several chat platforms
- Handling mentions, slash commands and reactions in a bot
- Adding interactive cards, buttons or modals to a bot
- Streaming model output into a chat thread
Example prompts
- “Build a bot that answers mentions in Slack and Discord from one codebase.”
- “Add a slash command and a button handler that opens a modal in Slack.”
- “Stream the model's reply into the thread as it is generated.”
- “Switch the bot's state adapter from memory to Redis for production.”
Requirements
- The chat npm package and a platform adapter such as @chat-adapter/slack
- A Redis instance if you want persistent state in production
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6aaeeee. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are typescript).
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
SLACK_BOT_TOKENSLACK_SIGNING_SECRET
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Chat SDK Bots loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 344 words (~1,534 tokens).
“Unified TypeScript SDK for building chat bots across Slack, Teams, Google Chat, Discord, GitHub, and Linear. Write bot logic once, deploy everywhere.”
