slack-openapi-skill

slack-openapi-skill is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from holon-run/uxc. It costs 31 tokens per session (1,805 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An interface for using selected Slack Web API operations through UXC. Slack is a workplace messaging service, and an API lets software read or change Slack data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to validate access, inspect channels, read conversations and threads, post messages or replies, and add reactions.
Why use it?
It provides a limited, guarded set of messaging operations without covering Slack's full API or app-installation process.

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-openapi-skill 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/validate.sh), 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.

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 Web API Skill

Use this skill to run Slack Web API operations through uxc + OpenAPI.

Reuse the uxc skill for shared execution, auth, and error-handling guidance.

Prerequisites

  • uxc is installed and available in PATH.
  • Network access to https://slack.com/api.
  • Access to the curated OpenAPI schema URL:
    • https://raw.githubusercontent.com/holon-run/uxc/main/skills/slack-openapi-skill/references/slack-web.openapi.json
  • A Slack bot token and, for selected thread/history reads, an optional user token.

Scope

This skill covers a Messaging Core surface:

  • auth validation
  • channel lookup and inspection
  • conversation history reads
  • thread replies reads
  • posting messages, including replies via thread_ts
  • adding reactions

This skill does not cover:

  • Slack OAuth app installation flow
  • file upload flows
  • users.*, admin.*, or usergroups.* method families

Subscribe / Socket Mode Status

Slack inbound events can be delivered through Socket Mode. uxc now has a built-in Slack Socket Mode transport, but this skill still treats it as a limited event-ingest path rather than a fully packaged workflow surface.

Current uxc subscribe status:

  • Slack Web API request/response calls are supported by this skill
  • a live Socket Mode smoke test succeeded with the built-in transport:
    • uxc subscribe start https://slack.com/api --transport slack-socket-mode --auth slack-app --sink file:...
    • the runtime opened a fresh temporary WebSocket URL automatically
    • the initial Slack hello frame was received
  • a real inbound message event was validated end-to-end:
    • while the Socket Mode job was running, a live Slack message event was delivered as an events_api envelope
    • the sink recorded the message payload and ack_sent=true

What the current built-in transport already handles:

  • app-level xapp-... auth via --auth
  • automatic apps.connections.open before each connect attempt
  • raw Socket Mode frame capture
  • automatic ack for envelopes that carry envelope_id

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.
