slack

slack is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from runxhq/runx. It costs 32 tokens per session (1,578 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A controlled Slack workflow for finding bounded message evidence, preparing a reply, and sending it through an approved Slack connection.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps search Slack messages and threads, plan responses, request approval, send replies, and confirm what was posted.
Why use it?
It prevents replies from being sent without review and keeps the exact approved message tied to the delivered result.

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 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.

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

Use Slack as a governed provider boundary without turning Slack—or Runx Cloud—into the owner of the operator's workflow. This skill owns the reusable Slack mechanics that an agent should not have to reconstruct: bounded message search, bounded thread hydration, digest-bound reply planning, explicit approval, idempotent delivery, and exact-message readback.

The operator-selected provider binding has one narrow role in this flow: retain credential custody and execute a fixed Slack operation. It may be local, self-hosted, third-party, or Runx-hosted. The skill, its procedure, approval point, retry identity, and completion rule remain in Runx OSS. Any queue, team-specific routing rule, or durable action state belongs in a higher-level operator skill and normally composes operator-inbox.

Runners

search reads one bounded Slack search page. Supply a query object with at least one of author_external_id, mentions_connected_subject, or keywords. The exact fields are:

  • author_external_id: one Slack member id string, such as U123ABC
  • mentions_connected_subject: a boolean selecting messages that mention the member bound to the selected provider account
  • keywords: one keyword-mode search phrase string, not an array and not raw Slack search syntax
  • after and before: ISO-8601 timestamp strings, with after earlier than before
  • channel_types: a non-empty array drawn from public_channel, private_channel, mpim, and im
  • limit: an integer from 1 through 20
  • cursor: the opaque next_cursor from the preceding page

The provider rejects embedded Slack modifiers in keywords, enforces the maximum page, and returns normalized locators and bounded previews rather than a raw Slack response. Continue only from next_cursor; one page is never proof that a workspace scan is complete.

read_thread reads one bounded thread page from an exact slack://workspace/channel/timestamp locator. The limit is capped at 15 because Slack applies a low limit and, for some non-Marketplace installations, a very low request cadence to conversations.replies. Hydrate only threads that are actually needed, preserve next_cursor, and do not fan out speculative reads. Thread messages include bounded attachment metadata and opaque slack-file://workspace/file locators; private Slack download URLs never cross the provider boundary.

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.
