Enables authenticated interaction with Slack for sending, editing, deleting, reacting to, and managing messages and pins via a secure bot token.
Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
The Slack Actions Skill enables Clawdbot to securely interact with Slack channels and direct messages using a Bot OAuth token. This skill allows agents to: Send, edit, and delete messages Add and list reactions Pin and unpin messages Read recent channel history Retrieve member information List workspace emojis All actions are executed using the permissions granted to the configured bot account.
This skill enables authenticated Slack operations using a Bot OAuth token supplied through the SLACK_BOT_TOKEN environment variable. With valid credentials, the skill can: Manage messages and reactions Maintain pinned references Retrieve basic user metadata Support lightweight workflow automation The skill operates strictly within the authorization scope of the configured Slack bot.
This skill requires a Slack Bot User OAuth token. Before use, configure: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN Example: export SLACK_BOT_TOKEN="xoxb-xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx" Or in .env format: SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=xoxb-xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx
The token must include the following OAuth scopes: chat:write channels:read channels:history reactions:write pins:write users:read emoji:read Additional scopes may be required depending on workspace policies.
Tokens must be stored only in environment variables Tokens must never be hardcoded Tokens must never be logged Tokens must not be exposed in outputs If SLACK_BOT_TOKEN is missing, invalid, or revoked, this skill must not execute.
To configure this skill: Create a Slack App in your workspace Enable Bot Token authentication Assign required OAuth scopes Install the app to the workspace Copy the Bot User OAuth token Store the token in SLACK_BOT_TOKEN Restart the agent After setup, the skill becomes available for execution.
Only Bot User tokens (xoxb-) are supported User tokens (xoxp-) are not permitted Tokens must belong to a single workspace Cross-workspace tokens are unsupported Tokens must be rotated periodically Tokens must comply with organizational security policies Unauthorized credential usage is prohibited.
Activate this skill when the user requests: Sending messages to Slack Reacting to messages Editing or deleting content Pinning or unpinning messages Reading recent messages Looking up users Viewing emojis Example triggers: “Send this to #engineering.” “React with a checkmark.” “Pin that message.” “Who is U123?”
channelId — Slack channel ID (ex: C1234567890) messageId — Slack timestamp (ex: 1712023032.1234)
emoji — Unicode emoji or :name: format
to — channel:<id> or user:<id> content — Message text Message context may contain reusable fields such as channel and slack message id.

This skill is limited to Slack workspace operations authorized by the configured bot token. It does NOT: Create Slack applications Modify workspace settings Manage billing Bypass permissions Escalate privileges All operations respect Slack API constraints.
This skill follows Slack API Terms of Service and OAuth security guidelines. Users are responsible for obtaining organizational approval prior to deployment.
Use reactions for lightweight workflows Pin long-term references Keep messages concise Avoid bulk destructive actions Rotate credentials regularly
