Install in OpenClaw
/install slack-standup
Description
Automates Slack daily standups by prompting updates, compiling responses, and posting summaries on a set schedule.
Usage Guidance
Do not install or run these scripts in a production workspace yet. Ask the publisher for source provenance and a homepage; confirm whether the token in scripts is a placeholder. Inspect and remove any hardcoded tokens, then supply credentials via environment variables (SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, SLACK_CHANNEL_ID) with least privilege scopes (only chat:write as needed). Run first in a sandbox/test Slack workspace. If the included token was real and exposed, rotate the token immediately. If you cannot verify the author or they refuse to remove hardcoded secrets, treat the package as untrusted.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: slack-standup
Version: 1.0.2
The skill bundle provides standard functionality for an automated Slack standup bot, using shell scripts to interact with the Slack API via curl. The scripts (scripts/slack-standup.sh and scripts/standup.sh) align with the stated purpose in SKILL.md and README.md, and no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution, or harmful prompt injection was found.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name, README, SKILL.md and scripts all describe a Slack standup bot and the code performs Slack API calls, so purpose and capability align — but registry metadata declares no required env vars while the scripts require SLACK_BOT_TOKEN / SLACK_CHANNEL_ID (and one script hardcodes a token and channel). That mismatch is unexpected and concerning.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the user to configure a Slack bot token and schedule reminders, which is fine. However the bundled scripts include behavior beyond the SKILL.md's declared artifacts: scripts post messages in a loop to specific users, aggregate responses, and one script contains a literal SLACK_TOKEN value. The instructions do not explain or justify the hardcoded token or the static user list.
Install Mechanism
No install spec (instruction-only plus shell scripts). This is lower risk because nothing is automatically downloaded or installed, but the presence of executable scripts means the agent or user could run code locally — review before execution.
Credentials
Registry metadata lists no required env vars, yet scripts expect SLACK_BOT_TOKEN and SLACK_CHANNEL_ID. More importantly, scripts/slack-standup.sh contains SLACK_TOKEN="xoxb-12345678901-1234567890" and CHANNEL="#standup" — a hardcoded token-like string in source is disproportionate and may indicate an accidental secret commit or careless packaging.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill is not marked always:true and doesn't request system-wide persistent privileges. It doesn't modify other skills or agent config in the provided files.
