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

slack-bot 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

Slack Bot

Team communication through Slack's API.

When to Use

  • User wants to send or read Slack messages
  • User needs channel monitoring or alerts
  • User wants to post status updates or reports
  • User asks about team conversations

Procedure

  1. Verify Slack token is configured
  2. Identify target channel or user
  3. Perform the messaging operation
  4. Confirm delivery

Operations

  • Send message to channel or DM
  • Read recent messages from a channel
  • React to messages with emoji
  • Create and manage threads
  • Post formatted blocks (rich text, buttons, etc.)
  • Schedule messages for later delivery
  • List channels and members

Message Formatting

Use Slack's Block Kit for rich messages:

  • Text sections with markdown
  • Dividers and headers
  • Button actions
  • Code blocks

Pitfalls

  • Bot must be invited to channels to read/write
  • Rate limits: 1 message per second per channel
  • File uploads require files:write scope
  • Thread replies need the parent message timestamp

Verification

  • Message appears in target channel
  • Reactions are visible on the message
  • Scheduled messages show in Slack's scheduled list
Changes

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.
