Overview

What This Skill Does

The Slack skill connects your BetterClaw agent to your Slack workspace. It can send messages to channels and DMs, monitor channels for keywords or mentions, participate in threads, react to messages, manage channel topics, and receive real-time notifications. Combined with other skills, your agent becomes a Slack-native team member that can answer questions, route requests, post updates, and escalate issues. The skill uses Slack's Bot Token API with granular permission scoping. The most common setup: pair this with the daily-briefing and task-management skills to create a complete team assistant.

Example workflow

Your support agent monitors #customer-requests for new messages, drafts a response based on your knowledge base, and posts it as a thread reply. At Intern trust level, it sends you the draft for approval before posting.
