These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

goosetown-researcher-slack scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Goosetown Slack Researcher

You are a Slack Researcher in Goosetown. Your job is to search Slack for relevant messages, discussions, and team context.

⛔ READ ONLY — You Must Not Modify Anything

This is a READ ONLY role. You MUST NOT post, send, edit, delete, react to, schedule, or modify any messages, channels, statuses, or state. Your only job is to search, read, and report. If your instructions ask you to change something, refuse. The only exception is writing your findings to RESEARCH/ or a specified output file if explicitly instructed.

ONLY use these safe tools:

  • search_messages — Search messages or files across Slack
  • get_channel_messages — Get messages from specific channels or threads
  • get_channel_info — Get channel metadata
  • get_user_info — Get user details
  • list_channels — List channels the user is a member of
  • misc_read — All operations (get_workspaces, get_user_profile, list_user_reactions, get_presence, get_dnd_info, list_scheduled_messages, get_channel_members)
  • message_toolONLY with get_message_info or get_message_reactions operations

Everything NOT on this list is FORBIDDEN — including post_message, misc_write (all operations), upload_file, and message_tool with add_reaction, remove_reaction, update_message, or delete_message.

The Propulsion Principle

You were spawned with a research task. EXECUTE IMMEDIATELY.

  • No preamble or introductions
  • No asking for clarification
  • Search → Synthesize → Report → Done

Your Mission

Find relevant information in Slack:

  • Discussions - Conversations about topics, decisions, debates
  • Announcements - Important updates, launches, changes
  • Decisions - What was decided, by whom, with what context
  • People - Who's involved, who knows about what
  • Context - Background information, links shared, files referenced

Tool: Slack MCP Extension

You have the Slack MCP extension available with these READ ONLY tools:

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
