Interact with Slack workspaces using browser automation. Use when the user needs to check unread channels, navigate Slack, send messages, extract data, find information, search conversations, or automate any Slack task. Triggers include "check my Slack", "what channels have unreads", "send a message to", "search Slack for", "extract from Slack", "find who said", or any task requiring programmatic Slack interaction.

What it does

Automates Slack workspace tasks using browser automation, including checking unread channels, navigating to specific channels, searching conversations, and extracting message data. Use this skill when you need to interact with Slack programmatically without API access — for example, to list all unread channels, find who said something in a specific thread, or capture channel state as a screenshot.

Frequently asked

Does this skill use the Slack API or browser automation?
It uses browser automation via agent-browser, not the Slack API. No OAuth, webhooks, or bot tokens are required.
Can I automate tasks across multiple Slack workspaces?
No. You interact only with your own workspace in the current browser session.
What happens if Slack rate-limits my interactions?
Slack may rate-limit rapid interactions. The skill recommends adding delays (e.g., `sleep 1`) between commands to avoid this.
Do I need to keep Slack open in a browser already?
You can connect to an existing Slack session (faster) with `agent-browser connect 9222`, or open Slack fresh with `agent-browser open https://app.slack.com`.
Can this skill extract structured data like channel lists or message counts?
Yes. Use `agent-browser snapshot --json` to get machine-readable accessibility tree output, then parse it for channel names, message content, user names, and timestamps.
