slack-init

slack-init is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from runbear-io/aweek. It costs 35 tokens per session (7,905 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A setup tool that creates a Slack app and connects it to a project’s aweek service.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create the Slack app, guide the workspace installation, and save the credentials needed for future aweek runs.
Why use it?
It removes the manual steps needed to let people chat with the project’s Claude through Slack, while requiring confirmation for the changes.

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-init 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 715 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

aweek:slack-init

Bootstrap a Slack app for this project and wire its credentials into aweek serve so users can chat with the project-level Claude through Slack. The flow has two phases — both are destructive and confirmation-gated:

  1. Provision — call Slack's apps.manifest.create + apps.token.create with the aweek-branded manifest. This creates a real Slack app inside the user's workspace, returns the Socket-Mode app-level token (xapp-…), the OAuth client credentials, and the OAuth authorize URL the human has to visit to install the app and obtain the bot token (xoxb-…).
  2. Persist — merge the resulting credentials into .aweek/channels/slack/config.json so the embedded listener loads them on the next aweek serve start. The bot token is paste-back from the workspace OAuth install (which is interactive and lives outside this skill).

This skill is a thin UX wrapper on top of src/skills/slack-init.ts. All remote Slack writes and disk writes go through the dispatcher — never shell out to Slack APIs or write .aweek/channels/slack/config.json directly from the markdown.

The persisted file is gitignored under the repo's .aweek/ rule. The embedded Slack listener still reads process.env first (SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_APP_TOKEN, optional SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET) and only falls back to the file — so this skill is only needed when the user wants on-disk credentials rather than environment-variable injection.

v1 scope: project-level Claude proxy only. Per-subagent Slack apps, slash commands, file uploads, channel-per-agent routing, and direct subagent addressing are explicitly out of scope.

Destructive operation policy

Per project policy, every destructive surface requires explicit AskUserQuestion confirmation before confirmed: true is passed to the dispatcher. Both underlying primitives (provisionSlackApp and persistSlackCredentials) refuse to run without it — do not bypass the gate.

Operation Destructive Confirmation required
provisionSlackApp (creates a Slack app + Socket-Mode token on Slack's side) Yes — durable remote write; old refresh token is invalidated Yes
persistSlackCredentials (writes .aweek/channels/slack/config.json) Yes — overwrites credentials on disk Yes
slackInit (composite — runs both stages) Yes Yes

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.
