add-slack is a skill for Claude Code from DingyangLyu/MatClaw. It costs 29 tokens per session (1,992 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup step that adds Slack messaging to MatClaw, either alongside WhatsApp or as its replacement. It uses Slack Socket Mode, which does not require a publicly reachable web address.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to configure Slack app access and let MatClaw receive and send messages in Slack.
Why use it?
It gives the agent a Slack channel without requiring a public server URL for incoming messages.

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

add-slack 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 6d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 4 executable files (add/src/channels/slack.test.ts, add/src/channels/slack.ts, modify/src/channels/index.ts, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 216 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Add Slack Channel

This skill adds Slack support to MatClaw using the skills engine for deterministic code changes, then walks through interactive setup.

Phase 1: Pre-flight

Check if already applied

Read .matclaw/state.yaml. If slack is in applied_skills, skip to Phase 3 (Setup). The code changes are already in place.

Ask the user

Do they already have a Slack app configured? If yes, collect the Bot Token and App Token now. If no, we'll create one in Phase 3.

Phase 2: Apply Code Changes

Run the skills engine to apply this skill's code package. The package files are in this directory alongside this SKILL.md.

Initialize skills system (if needed)

If .matclaw/ directory doesn't exist yet:

npx tsx scripts/apply-skill.ts --init

Or call initSkillsSystem() from skills-engine/migrate.ts.

Apply the skill

npx tsx scripts/apply-skill.ts .claude/skills/add-slack

This deterministically:

  • Adds src/channels/slack.ts (SlackChannel class with self-registration via registerChannel)
  • Adds src/channels/slack.test.ts (46 unit tests)
  • Appends import './slack.js' to the channel barrel file src/channels/index.ts
  • Installs the @slack/bolt npm dependency
  • Records the application in .matclaw/state.yaml

If the apply reports merge conflicts, read the intent file:

  • modify/src/channels/index.ts.intent.md — what changed and invariants

Validate code changes

npm test
npm run build

All tests must pass (including the new slack tests) and build must be clean before proceeding.

Phase 3: Setup

Create Slack App (if needed)

If the user doesn't have a Slack app, share SLACK_SETUP.md which has step-by-step instructions with screenshots guidance, troubleshooting, and a token reference table.

Quick summary of what's needed:

  1. Create a Slack app at api.slack.com/apps
  2. Enable Socket Mode and generate an App-Level Token (xapp-...)
  3. Subscribe to bot events: message.channels, message.groups, message.im
  4. Add OAuth scopes: chat:write, channels:history, groups:history, im:history, channels:read, groups:read, users:read
  5. Install to workspace and copy the Bot Token (xoxb-...)

Files

What ships with it

7 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
