File contents

slacrawl — Slack Workspace Archive

slacrawl mirrors Slack workspace data into a local SQLite database for offline search, custom SQL queries, and inspection. Also ingests macOS Slack Desktop local data and Slack export ZIP files.

Secret Safety (MANDATORY)

Never read, print, or send Slack tokens to LLM context.
Never ask the user to paste tokens into chat.
The user must set tokens in their environment or Moltis credential store manually.
To verify credentials, only use: slacrawl doctor.

One-Time User Setup (user runs these outside the agent)

Create a Slack app at https://api.slack.com/apps
Add bot token scopes: channels:history, channels:read, groups:history, groups:read, im:history, im:read, mpim:history, mpim:read, users:read
Install the app to your workspace and copy the Bot User OAuth Token
Set tokens:
- SLACK_BOT_TOKEN — required for standard sync
- SLACK_APP_TOKEN — optional, for Socket Mode live tailing
- SLACK_USER_TOKEN — optional, for fuller thread/DM coverage
Verify: slacrawl doctor

Tokens can be set via environment variables or Moltis credential store (web UI → Settings → Environment Variables).

Health Check
