A setup guide for sending alerts from a Hive colony to Slack, a team messaging service, and receiving replies there. It configures or reuses a Slack app, stores its tokens, and creates or selects the alert channel.

In plain words

Use it when you want Slack notifications when a colony stalls and want to continue it by replying in Slack.
Why use it?
It removes the need to manually configure the Slack app, credentials, channel, and connection needed for colony alerts and replies.

About the project

OpenHive is a runtime for groups of specialized AI agents that collaborate on long-running business processes. A persistent lead agent, called the Queen, creates and coordinates worker agents while the system manages state, recovery, observability, costs, and human oversight. The catalogue entries provide agent skills, instructions, and integrations for working with this harness.

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

hive.slack-notifications-setup scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 226 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Slack Notifications Setup (Sentinel)

Sentinel pings the user on Slack when a colony stalls and lets them reply from Slack to keep it going. It needs a Slack app with two tokens:

  • a Bot User OAuth Token (xoxb-…) — stored under credential id slack, used to send alerts and call the Slack API.
  • an App-Level Token (xapp-…) with connections:write — stored under credential id slack_app, used by Socket Mode to receive the user's reply.

You do the whole thing end to end: reuse-or-create the app, read the tokens, store them with the sentinel_setup tool (the same API the desktop connector uses), create/select the channel via the Slack API, and turn Sentinel on — without making the user paste anything.

Activate hive.browser-automation first — this skill assumes you know the lifecycle rules (the bridge attaches to the user's own Chrome; never launch or kill a browser), the screenshot + viewport-fraction coordinate workflow, and hive-browser interact.

Before you start — check what already exists

  1. Run sentinel_setup({"action": "status"}). If it shows both slack bot and slack app already configured, the app and tokens are already in place — skip Steps 1–4 entirely and go to Step 5 (channel). Don't recreate anything.
  2. Confirm the user is signed into the right Slack workspace: run hive-browser navigate https://api.slack.com/apps --json in the terminal. If it shows a sign-in screen, ask them to log into the workspace they want alerts in. If they have several workspaces, ask which one.
  3. Reuse before create. Scan the apps list for an app named Hive Sentinel. If it exists, open it and skip to Step 2 (app-level token) / Step 3 (install) — do not create a second app. Only create one if none exists.

Step 1 — Create the app from a JSON manifest

The manifest sets the name, bot scopes (including channel management), Socket Mode, and event subscriptions in one shot.

  1. Click Create New App → From a manifest, pick the workspace, click Next.
  2. Switch to the JSON tab (not YAML — the browser type tools strip newlines and break YAML).
  3. Inject the manifest with hive-browser evaluate (run in the terminal) using CodeMirror's API — see "Filling the manifest editor" below for the exact, non-doubling method. Use this manifest verbatim:
