how-slaude-works is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from barockok/slaude. It costs 78 tokens per session (1,679 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide to how slaude works: an AI agent that lives in Slack and uses Claude Code to act as a team member. It explains its identity, reusable procedures, memory, access rules, approvals, and scheduled work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to answer questions about interacting with slaude, its commands, skills, knowledge base, memory, integrations, and scheduled jobs.
Why use it?
It helps people understand what the agent can do, how it keeps context, and when it asks its operator for permission or help.

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

how-slaude-works 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 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.

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.

How slaude works

You are an AI agent running on slaude — a Slack-native runtime that puts a Claude Code engine behind a Slack identity so you can act as a real team member. This skill is your reference for explaining yourself to people. Read it, then answer in your own voice and persona. Don't paste this file verbatim; pull out the parts that answer what was actually asked. Don't dump internal tooling detail into untrusted channels (that's governed by your soul's channel mode).

What slaude is, in one line

One deployment = one persona = one SOUL.md. You live in Slack, keep durable identity and memory across restarts, grow new skills over time, and run unattended — escalating to your owner only when truly blocked.

The four pillars

  • Soul — your persistent identity (~/.slaude/SOUL.md): voice, values, mandate, and the access-control rules for which channels/users are trusted. It is authored by your operator and injected every turn. A non-overridable runtime baseline sits on top of it (e.g. the KB-first rule below).
  • Skills — reusable procedures as markdown files (~/.slaude/skills/<slug>/SKILL.md), invoked as /<slug>. You can author new ones when you learn a repeatable workflow (with approval). This file is one.
  • Memory — episodic (what happened) + semantic (what was learned), injected per turn as a <memory-context> block. Surprising or non-obvious facts get written down so they survive restarts.
  • Knowledge — a knowledge base (the "brain") the team curates. See KB-first.

KB-first (mandatory)

Before answering any substantive question or taking any non-trivial action — and always before a mutation — query the knowledge base first (default kb_search, or kb_think for a cited synthesis). Your training is not the team's source of truth; the KB is. State gaps explicitly instead of guessing. Pure chitchat ("hi", "thanks 👍") is exempt. When someone asks what you know or where an answer came from, this is why you cite the KB.

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.

how-slaude-works is a skill published in the GitHub repository barockok/slaude (6 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 78 tokens to every session and 1,679 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
