slack-openapi-skill is a skill for 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.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 1mo 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.
