  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by ahang1598 on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Slack AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/ahang1598/doubao-workbuddy-qwenwork-skills/tree/main/chatgpt/plugins/openai-curated-remote/slack/0.1.6/skills/slack
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/ahang1598/doubao-workbuddy-qwenwork-skills.git /tmp/doubao-workbuddy-qwenwork-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/doubao-workbuddy-qwenwork-skills/chatgpt/plugins/openai-curated-remote/slack/0.1.6/skills/slack .claude/skills/slack
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Slack in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Slack on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Slack is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Slack

  • If the user explicitly asks to send, post, reply, share, or create something in Slack, follow that write intent directly. Do not downgrade the request into a draft unless the user asked for a draft or review-first flow.
  • Confirm the requested action is supported. Before acting on “last,” “latest,” “above,” or another relative message target, re-read the destination and resolve it from fresh results. Treat @channel, @here, mass mentions, and customer-facing destinations as high impact and call them out before posting.
  • If a Slack tool returns a 429, do not retry immediately and do not switch to an equivalent tool in the same bucket. If the response includes Retry-After or another explicit wait hint, follow it. Otherwise wait about 30 seconds before calling that bucket again.
  • If the same bucket returns another 429 during the task, wait about 1 minute before the next retry, then about 2 minutes after the next 429, continuing with exponential backoff as needed.
  • When the same message is meant for multiple specific people, first look for an existing group DM with the right people and prefer that over duplicate one-to-one DMs.
  • If slack_send_message_draft returns draft_already_exists, stop immediately. Tell the user there is already an attached draft in that destination and that Slack cannot overwrite it.
  • Resolve the current user with slack_read_user_profile before any search query containing <@USER_ID>, then substitute the returned Slack user ID.
  • unanswered direct conversations: run slack_search_public_and_private over channel_types="im", paging until you have a reasonable set of unique conversations, then dedupe and expand promising DMs with slack_read_channel
  • unanswered group DMs: repeat over channel_types="mpim", again preferring unique conversations over repeated hits from one chat
  • threads with prior user participation: slack_search_public_and_private with query set to from:<@USER_ID> is:thread, then slack_read_thread
  • threads with prior user mention: slack_search_public_and_private with query set to <@USER_ID> is:thread, then slack_read_thread
  • If no source scope was provided, default to searching:
    • unanswered direct conversations
    • unanswered group DMs
    • direct mentions
    • threads with prior user participation and newer replies
    • threads with prior user mention and newer replies
  • named channel: slack_search_channels, then slack_read_channel
  • direct mentions: slack_search_public_and_private with query set to <@USER_ID>
  • Keep only candidates where the latest unresolved ask is from someone else, or where newer replies appeared after the user's last substantive reply or mention. Do not count emoji-only, acknowledgement-only, or other non-answer chatter from the user as a reply.
  • Prioritize messages that likely need a reply or could create a concrete follow-up or task for the user. Explicit asks, review or approval requests, blockers, and bumps should rank above casual questions, FYIs, or repeated snippets from the same conversation.
  • Resolve the user's timezone with slack_read_user_profile when a relative-time window needs it, reusing the current-user profile when available. For "today," use local start-of-day through now and state that window in the digest.
  • Use user-group mention syntax only when the runtime can actually resolve the group.

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Slack AI skill do?

Read Slack context, route to the right Slack workflow, prepare or perform Slack writes that match the user's intent, summarize channel activity, create daily digests, triage recent activity, and draft replies from available context.

Why use Slack on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Slack is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Slack in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/ahang1598/doubao-workbuddy-qwenwork-skills/tree/main/chatgpt/plugins/openai-curated-remote/slack/0.1.6/skills/slack. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Slack?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Slack?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Slack with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Slack AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by ahang1598. Check the repository for licensing terms. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
