What it does
- Copies the Slack adapter, its registration test, and the Slack mrkdwn formatting skill from the
channelsbranch (trunk doesn't ship channels). - Appends the self-registration import to
src/channels/index.tsand installs@chat-adapter/slack@4.29.0at an exact pinned version. - Builds and runs the registration test to prove the adapter is wired and the dependency present.
- Walks the operator through creating the Slack app for either Socket Mode (no public URL) or webhook delivery, with the exact bot scopes and event subscriptions.
- Collects and format-validates the bot token, app-level token and signing secret into
.env, verifies them withauth.test, resolves your DM address viaconversations.open, then restarts the service.
Who it's for
- Operators running NanoClaw who want to chat with their agent from Slack.
- Anyone who keeps getting Slack scopes and Event Subscriptions wrong.
- Local/NAT setups that need Socket Mode instead of a public HTTPS endpoint.
Examples
- Mid-
/setup: ask for Slack support and the skill goes from adapter copy to service restart in one pass. - VPS deployment with public HTTPS: choose
webhook, set the Request URL tohttps://<host>/webhook/slack, enable Interactivity. - "Greeting arrives but my replies vanish": follow the troubleshooting section to check Messages Tab plus
message.im/app_mentionsubscriptions.

Install in Claude Code
Let Claude do it — paste this into Claude Code
Install the skill I found on Claude Skill Mart. Copy the .claude/skills/add-slack folder from the GitHub repo nanocoai/nanoclaw into my ~/.claude/skills/add-slack/. When it's done, tell me in one line what this skill can do.
Install with a command instead
git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git && mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/add-slack && cp -r nanoclaw/.claude/skills/add-slack/* ~/.claude/skills/add-slack/⚠ This is a third-party skill. Check the source repository before installing.
- Make sure you already have a local NanoClaw project with pnpm available — this skill only makes sense inside that repo.
- Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/nanocoai/nanoclaw.git - Create the skill folder:
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills/add-slack - Copy the skill in:
cp -r nanoclaw/.claude/skills/add-slack/* ~/.claude/skills/add-slack/ - Start Claude Code from your NanoClaw project directory and say: "use the add-slack skill to add a Slack channel".
- Pick
socket(recommended) orwebhook, create the app at api.slack.com/apps, and paste the tokens when prompted. - Secrets land in
.env— confirm it is git-ignored before committing anything.
