clawdbot Slacrawl
Use local Slack archive data first. Check freshness for recent/current questions:
slacrawl doctor
slacrawl status --json
Refresh only when stale or asked:
slacrawl sync --source wiretap
slacrawl sync --source bot --latest-only
wiretap reads Slack Desktop cache; bot uses API tokens. The desktop/api
aliases remain valid. A configured connector can use --source mcp; select the
workspace explicitly when needed. Use --full only for deliberate backfills.
Query with bounded slices:
slacrawl search --limit 20 "query"
slacrawl messages --since 7d --limit 50
slacrawl sql "select count(*) from messages;"
Report workspace/channel names, absolute date spans, counts, and token/source limits. Use read-only SQL for exact counts/rankings. API sync and full thread/DM hydration require Slack tokens; do not assume they exist.
