The slack skill connects your AI agent to Slack's API, letting it send messages, read channels, and participate in workflows.

# Send a deployment notification
openclaw ask "Send a message to #deployments: v0.7.0 is live"
β Message sent to #deployments
# List channels
openclaw ask "List all public channels"
#general #engineering #deployments #random
# Post an update
openclaw ask "Tell #engineering the build is green"

How it works
OpenClaw CLI acts as a watchdog daemon that keeps your AI agent always running. When you install the Slack skill, your agent can send messages, manage channels, and automate communication across your Slack workspace. Configure your Slack Bot Token once, and your agent handles the rest.
