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 C, and why

slack-messaging scanned grade C with 2 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 3 executable files (scripts/_lib.sh, scripts/read.sh, scripts/send.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.

curl | sh runs whatever the server returns today, which is not necessarily what it returned when this was reviewed.

- No silent download-and-execute (`curl … | sh`).

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

- TLS is never disabled — no `curl -k`, no `--insecure`, no `verify=false`.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 153 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Slack Messaging

Purpose

Send and read Slack messages programmatically via the Slack Web API. Two deterministic shell scripts backed by a shared helper library:

  • send.sh — post a message to a channel via chat.postMessage
  • read.sh — fetch recent messages from a channel via conversations.history and emit them as stable JSON

Credentials are read exclusively from the SLACK_BOT_TOKEN environment variable. The token is never written to a file, never appears in script output or logs, and is never committed to the repository.


Constraints

  • Token only from env var SLACK_BOT_TOKEN. Never from a file, never echoed.
  • TLS is never disabled — no curl -k, no --insecure, no verify=false.
  • No silent download-and-execute (curl … | sh).
  • Errors on network/security operations are always surfaced — no 2>/dev/null on calls whose result matters, no empty catch.
  • set -euo pipefail in every script.
  • Exit-code contract: 0 success; 1 usage/argument error; 2 missing tool (curl/jq) or missing SLACK_BOT_TOKEN; 3 API failure (HTTP non-2xx, network error, or Slack ok:false).

Setup — co a kam vložit

1. Vytvoř Slack App

  1. Přejdi na https://api.slack.com/apps a klikni Create New App → From scratch.

  2. Vyber workspace a pojmenuj appku (např. messaging-bot).

  3. V sekci OAuth & Permissions → Bot Token Scopes přidej scopy:

    Scope Použití
    chat:write odesílání zpráv (send.sh)
    channels:history čtení zpráv z veřejných kanálů (read.sh)
    channels:read přístup k metadatům veřejných kanálů
    groups:history čtení zpráv z privátních kanálů (read.sh)
  4. Klikni Install to Workspace a potvrď oprávnění.

  5. Zkopíruj Bot User OAuth Token (začíná xoxb-…) z OAuth & Permissions.

2. Bezpečné nastavení tokenu

Nastav token jako env var — NIKDY ho necommituj do repa, NIKDY ho nevkládej do .env souboru sledovaného Gitem:

# shell profil (mimo repo) — ~/.zshrc nebo ~/.bash_profile
export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-...

# CI secret (GitHub Actions):
# Settings → Secrets → New repository secret → Name: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN
# V workflow: env: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN: ${{ secrets.SLACK_BOT_TOKEN }}

Files

What ships with it

3 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.
