At a glance

Create an automation that generates an async standup digest from Slack.

  • Works in 5 steps: Verify Slack MCP access → Configure the schedule → Build the digest prompt → …
  • Tasks that involve Time tracking and reporting
  • SKILL.md covers Prerequisites and Setup Workflow
  • Calls curl; needs OPENHANDS_API_KEY and OPENHANDS_AUTOMATION_API_KEY

What it does

Slack Standup Digest is an agent skill from OpenHands/extensions. Create an automation that generates an async standup digest from Slack. Searches selected channels for messages since the previous workday, groups updates by project, highlights blockers and decisions, and posts a summary to a target channel.

Its SKILL.md is about 840 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `.plugin/plugin.json`, `README.md` and `commands/standup-digest-setup.md`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Time tracking and reporting. It works with Slack, Workday and Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Public registry for OpenHands extensions. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Time tracking and reporting

Example prompts

  • “/slack-standup-digest”

Requirements

  • A credential in OPENHANDS_API_KEY
  • A credential in OPENHANDS_AUTOMATION_API_KEY

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Verify Slack MCP access
  2. Configure the schedule
  3. Build the digest prompt
  4. Create the automation
  5. Confirm

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d008b81. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • curl

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use curl, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • OPENHANDS_API_KEY
    • OPENHANDS_AUTOMATION_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Slack Standup Digest loads about 837 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 336 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~66
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~837

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.

Slack Standup Digest Automation

Set up a recurring automation that summarizes Slack activity into an async standup digest.

Prerequisites

Required integration
  • Slack MCP must be installed in Settings → MCP.
Information to collect

Ask the user for:

  1. Source channels — which Slack channels to scan for updates (e.g. #engineering, #frontend, #backend)
  2. Target channel — where the digest should be posted (e.g. #standup, #team-updates)
  3. Schedule — when should the digest run? Default: weekday mornings at 9 AM
  4. Timezone — user's timezone (e.g. America/New_York, Europe/London)
  5. Auto-post or draft — should the digest post automatically, or be saved for the user to review and approve first?
  6. Grouping — how should updates be organized? Default: by project/channel, with sections for shipped work, active work, blockers, and decisions

Setup Workflow

Step 1 — Verify Slack MCP access

Confirm the Slack MCP integration is working:

Use the Slack MCP to search for recent messages in one of the source channels.

If it fails, tell the user to install the Slack MCP integration first.

Step 2 — Configure the schedule

Build a cron schedule from the user's preferences:

  • Weekday mornings at 9 AM ET: 0 9 * * 1-5 with timezone America/New_York
  • Daily at 8 AM UTC: 0 8 * * *
Step 3 — Build the digest prompt

Construct a prompt that includes:

  • Source channels to scan
  • Target channel for posting
  • Lookback window (typically "since previous workday" — Friday→Monday for Monday digests)
  • Grouping structure (by project, by channel, etc.)
  • Whether to auto-post or draft
  • What to highlight: blockers, decisions, shipped items, unanswered questions
Step 4 — Create the automation

Set OPENHANDS_HOST and AUTH_HEADER for the request below:

  • OpenHands Cloud or Enterprise - a <HOST> value is in your system prompt: use it as OPENHANDS_HOST, with AUTH_HEADER="Authorization: Bearer $OPENHANDS_API_KEY"
  • Local Agent Canvas - an Automation backend is listed in <RUNTIME_SERVICES>: use its url_from_agent as OPENHANDS_HOST, with AUTH_HEADER="X-Session-API-Key: $OPENHANDS_AUTOMATION_API_KEY"

Use the prompt preset endpoint:

bash
curl -s -X POST "${OPENHANDS_HOST}/api/automation/v1/preset/prompt" \
  -H "$AUTH_HEADER" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Slack Standup Digest",
    "prompt": "<constructed digest prompt>",
    "trigger": {"type": "cron", "schedule": "<schedule>", "timezone": "<tz>"}
  }'

PowerShell note: use curl.exe for this exact flag syntax, and replace ${OPENHANDS_HOST} / $AUTH_HEADER with $env:OPENHANDS_HOST / $env:AUTH_HEADER if running it natively.

Step 5 — Confirm

Tell the user:

✅ Slack Standup Digest is running!

  • Automation ID: {id}
  • Source channels: {channel list}
  • Target channel: {target}
  • Schedule: {cron description}
  • Mode: {auto-post or draft}
