A skill your agent uses when you need to control Slack from Clawdbot via the slack tool, including reacting to messages or pinning/unpinning items in Slack channels or DMs.

  • You need to control Slack from Clawdbot via the slack tool

What it does

Slack is an agent skill from huangruiteng/CS-Notes. Use when you need to control Slack from Clawdbot via the slack tool, including reacting to messages or pinning/unpinning items in Slack channels or DMs.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `.clawhub/origin.json` and `_meta.json`).

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Messaging and chat bots. It works with Slack and React. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • You need to control Slack from Clawdbot via the slack tool
  • Including reacting to messages
  • Pinning/unpinning items in Slack channels

Example prompts

  • “/slack”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d01d8f8. 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 json).

    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

Slack loads about 578 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 40 tokens; SKILL.md has 141 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~40
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~578

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 Actions

Overview

Use slack to react, manage pins, send/edit/delete messages, and fetch member info. The tool uses the bot token configured for Clawdbot.

Inputs to collect

  • channelId and messageId (Slack message timestamp, e.g. 1712023032.1234).
  • For reactions, an emoji (Unicode or :name:).
  • For message sends, a to target (channel:<id> or user:<id>) and content.

Message context lines include slack message id and channel fields you can reuse directly.
