At a glance

Slack archive: search, sync freshness, threads/DMs, SQL counts, and Slacrawl repo work.

  • Tasks that involve Messaging and chat bots
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve SQL

What it does

Slacrawl is an agent skill from openclaw/openclaw. Slack archive: search, sync freshness, threads/DMs, SQL counts, and Slacrawl repo work.

Its SKILL.md is about 320 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Databases, covering Messaging and chat bots and SQL. It works with SQL and Slack. The repository describes itself as: The AI that really does things. Any OS. Any Platform. The lobster way. 🦞. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Messaging and chat bots
  • Tasks that involve SQL

Example prompts

  • “/slacrawl”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 1eb5970. 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 bash).

    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 no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

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

Context cost

Slacrawl loads about 315 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 24 tokens; SKILL.md has 85 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~24
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~315

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.

Slacrawl

Use local Slack archive data first. Check freshness for recent/current questions:

bash
slacrawl doctor
slacrawl status --json

Refresh only when stale or asked:

bash
slacrawl sync --source wiretap
slacrawl sync --source bot --latest-only

wiretap reads Slack Desktop cache; bot uses API tokens. The desktop/api aliases remain valid. A configured connector can use --source mcp; select the workspace explicitly when needed. Use --full only for deliberate backfills.

Query with bounded slices:

bash
slacrawl search --limit 20 "query"
slacrawl messages --since 7d --limit 50
slacrawl sql "select count(*) from messages;"

Report workspace/channel names, absolute date spans, counts, and token/source limits. Use read-only SQL for exact counts/rankings. API sync and full thread/DM hydration require Slack tokens; do not assume they exist.
