What is slack-triage?

A Slack message review tool that scans accessible channels, direct messages, threads, and mentions, then groups messages by priority. Slack is a team chat service used for conversations alongside code and project work.

Use it to review recent Slack activity, identify high-priority items, search for people or channels, and prepare replies to messages that need attention.

It helps find urgent or important messages in busy Slack conversations so you can catch up without reading everything in order.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00091	$0.01845
Opus 5	$0.00046	$0.00923
Sonnet 5	$0.00018	$0.00369
Haiku 4.5	$0.00009	$0.00185

Security

Grade A, and why

slack-triage 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 10d 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.

Slack Triage Skill

Overview

Scan Eric's Slack workspace for recent messages, classify them into three priority tiers, and offer to draft replies for urgent items. This skill mirrors the email-triage pattern but adapted for Slack's channel-based, threaded communication model.

This skill does NOT maintain its own contact data — it reads from the porres-family-assistant skill as the canonical source for people context.

Available Slack MCP Tools

The Slack connector (https://mcp.slack.com/mcp) provides these tools:

Tool	Purpose
`slack_read_channel`	Read recent messages from a specific channel
`slack_search_public_and_private`	Search across all accessible channels
`slack_search_users`	Find users by name or email
`slack_search_channels`	Find channels by name or topic

Step 0 — Load Context (runtime references)

Before scanning, read these files from the family assistant to establish priority context:

File	What it provides
`shared/skills/porres-family-assistant/references/family-members.md`	Family names — helps identify personal messages from family members
`shared/skills/porres-family-assistant/references/email-aliases.md`	Alias routing — email/Slack identity overlap

Load only these two. Don't load insurance, medical, or finance unless a specific message requires that context.

Also load references/workspace-config.md from this skill for channel priority mappings (once Eric configures it).

Step 1 — Scan Workspace

Use the Slack MCP tools to gather recent activity. Run these searches in parallel:

1a. Direct Messages

Search for recent DMs sent to Eric:

slack_search_public_and_private: "to:me" (filtered to DMs)

1b. Mentions

Search for @mentions of Eric across channels:

slack_search_public_and_private: "@eric" or Eric's Slack user mention

1c. Threads Eric is in

Search for replies in threads Eric has participated in:

slack_search_public_and_private: threads where Eric has replied

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.
