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 2mo 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.

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_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.
