slack-personal

A command-line connection for reading and managing Slack, a workplace messaging service, from a Mac. It can work with channels, direct messages, searches, threads, unread activity, saved items, files, and drafts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to read or search messages, check unread activity, view threads, send messages, upload files, manage drafts, and work with direct messages.
Why use it?
It lets the coding agent inspect or update Slack conversations through commands instead of switching applications. It uses the signed-in Slack desktop session for access.

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-personal scanned grade C with 1 finding 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.

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.

Harvests environment variableshighData exfiltration

Enumerating or grepping the environment for keys collects credentials unrelated to what the mod says it does.

- **Always Allow** — permanent, no future prompts (convenient but any process running as your user can extract credentials silently)

slk — Slack CLI

Session-based Slack CLI for macOS. Auto-authenticates from the Slack desktop app — no tokens, no OAuth, no app installs. Acts as your user (xoxc- session tokens).

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.
