slack

A Slack connection for reading and searching team conversations, checking unread channels, sending messages, managing reactions, and finding users.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review channel history, find past discussions, check unread messages, contact teammates, add reactions, and look up people.
Why use it?
It helps you handle team communication from a coding agent instead of switching between tools or manually searching Slack.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 19 executable files (scripts/__init__.py, scripts/slack_channels.py, scripts/slack_client.py, …), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 187 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Slack

Read channels, search messages, check unreads, send messages, manage reactions, and look up users via Slack.

Setup (run FIRST — every time, before any operation)

You MUST complete this setup before running any script. Do NOT skip this step.

sig status app-slack 2>&1

Check the JSON output fields configured and valid:

  • configured: false → run Provider Setup below. Do NOT proceed without completing it.
  • valid: false (but configured: true) → run sig login app-slack, then re-check.
  • valid: true → detect proxy (see below), then execute the user's request.

Provider Setup

  1. Read <SKILL_DIR>/references/provider-config.yaml
  2. Append the provider block to ~/.sig/config.yaml under providers:
  3. Ask the user: "Do you need a proxy to access this site?" — if yes, add networkProxy: <url> under the provider in config.yaml
  4. Run sig login app-slack (with --network-proxy <url> if proxy was specified)
  5. Verify: run sig status app-slack again — must show valid: true before proceeding

Proxy Detection (after provider is valid)

grep -A15 "^\s*app-slack:" ~/.sig/config.yaml | grep networkProxy | awk '{print $2}'

If this outputs a URL, prefix ALL python3 commands with HTTPS_PROXY=<url> HTTP_PROXY=<url>. If using socks5, convert to socks5h for python (e.g. socks5://...socks5h://...). If empty, no proxy needed.

Running Scripts

All scripts require setup to be completed first (see above).

Scripts Reference

All scripts are in this skill's scripts/ directory. Run via Bash tool.

Script Purpose
slack_channels.py List/filter channels
slack_history.py Get channel/DM message history
slack_threads.py Get thread replies
slack_search.py Search messages with filters
slack_send.py Send message or threaded reply
slack_unreads.py Get unread messages across channels
slack_users.py Search users by name/email
slack_reactions.py Add or remove emoji reactions

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.

slack is a skill published in the GitHub repository sigcli/sigcli (286 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 2,073 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
