# Slack

> Slack integration for AI agents via ClawLink — browser login, no API key setup. Connect Slack through ClawLink's hosted setup to send messages, search conversations, manage channels, and automate workflows from your Slack workspace. Use this skill when the user wants to work with Slack (Communication) — connect Slack, read or update Slack data, or take actions in Slack from chat instead of saying you cannot access it.

# Slack

Use **Slack** from your AI agent through [ClawLink](https://claw-link.dev) — browser login, no API key to paste, no config to edit. Connect Slack once and the agent can read and act on it. Works in any agent that can run shell commands (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Cline, and more).

## Setup

Run these once — the agent can run them for you:

```bash
npx @useclawlink/cli login              # opens browser → approve (mints + stores a key)
npx @useclawlink/cli connect slack   # opens browser → authorize Slack
```

No API key to create or paste — `login` stores the credential at `~/.clawlink/credentials.json`.

## Using Slack

```bash
npx @useclawlink/cli actions slack "<what you want to do>"   # find an action
npx @useclawlink/cli describe slack <action-id>             # see its inputs (before writes)
npx @useclawlink/cli run slack <action-id> --input '<json>' # execute
```

Reads first; confirm with the user before any write.

## Notes

- **No API key for Slack itself** — ClawLink holds the OAuth token; the agent only holds your ClawLink credential.
- Not connected yet, or access expired? Re-run `npx @useclawlink/cli connect slack`.
- The action list above is a snapshot; `npx @useclawlink/cli actions slack` is always current.
