Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned davepoon/buildwithclaude at fc03a95b41.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

About this skill

What it does

This skill automates tasks within Slack, allowing AI agents to interact with and manage Slack workspaces. It enables actions like sending messages to channels or direct messages, reacting to messages with emojis, and potentially managing channel memberships (though this is not explicitly stated). The skill aims to streamline workflows by integrating AI capabilities directly into Slack communication.

When to use it

  • Automatically send daily stand-up reminders to a team channel.
  • Respond to specific keywords in Slack channels with automated replies or actions.
  • Post meeting summaries and action items to designated Slack channels after meetings.
  • Welcome new employees to the company by sending them personalized messages and onboarding information via Slack.

Key capabilities

  • Sending messages to Slack channels and direct messages.
  • Reacting to Slack messages with emojis.
  • Integration with Slack workspaces.

Example prompts

  • "Send a message to #general saying 'Daily stand-up in 15 minutes!'"
  • "React to the last message in the #project-alpha channel with a thumbs up emoji."
  • “Post meeting notes from today’s marketing review to the #marketing-updates channel.”

Tips & gotchas

The skill requires appropriate permissions within the Slack workspace to function correctly. Ensure the AI agent has access to the channels and conversations it needs to interact with.
