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-assistant scanned grade A 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 1mo 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 139 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Slack Assistant (slackcli)

Use the slackcli CLI (from shaharia-lab/slackcli) for Slack workspace automation: reading messages, sending messages, reactions, and canvases.

Important: This is NOT the official Slack Developer CLI (slack/slack-dev). Use the slack-cli skill for Slack app development workflows.

Default Workspaces

Context Workspace
`` (.slack.com)

Use --workspace=<name-or-id> to target a specific workspace. Without --workspace, the default workspace set via slackcli auth set-default is used.

When to Use

  • User asks "what's in #channel-name" or "check the Slack channel"
  • User wants to send a message or reply to a thread
  • User asks about Slack canvases
  • User wants to add a reaction to a message
  • Workspace is .slack.com (or whichever workspace the user indicates)

Authentication

# List authenticated workspaces
slackcli auth list

# Login with a bot/user token (run once per workspace)
slackcli auth login --token=<your-bot-token> --workspace-name="My Team"

# Login with browser session tokens (no Slack app needed)
slackcli auth parse-curl --login    # paste cURL from browser DevTools

# Set default workspace
slackcli auth set-default T1234567  # use workspace ID from auth list

Configuration is stored in ~/.config/slackcli/workspaces.json.

Conversation Commands

# List all channels in the default workspace
slackcli conversations list

# List channels in a specific workspace
slackcli conversations list --workspace=

# Filter by type
slackcli conversations list --types=public_channel
slackcli conversations list --types=im

# Read recent messages from a channel
slackcli conversations read C1234567890

# Read a specific thread
slackcli conversations read C1234567890 --thread-ts=1234567890.123456

# Read with limit and JSON output (includes ts/thread_ts for replies)
slackcli conversations read C1234567890 --limit=50 --json

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.
