Instructions
/slack-channel:configure
Configure the Slack channel with your bot token and app-level token.
Usage
/slack-channel:configure <xoxb-bot-token> <xapp-app-token>
Instructions
- Parse the two arguments from
$ARGUMENTS:
- First token must start with
xoxb-(Bot User OAuth Token) - Second token must start with
xapp-(App-Level Token)
- If either token is missing or has the wrong prefix, show this error and stop:
Error: Two tokens required.
- Bot token (starts with xoxb-) from OAuth & Permissions
- App token (starts with xapp-) from Socket Mode settings
Usage: /slack-channel:configure xoxb-... xapp-...
- Create the state directory if it doesn't exist:
~/.claude/channels/slack/
- Write the
.envfile at~/.claude/channels/slack/.env:
SLACK_BOT_TOKEN=<bot-token>
SLACK_APP_TOKEN=<app-token>
- Set file permissions to owner-only:
chmod 600 ~/.claude/channels/slack/.env
- Confirm success:
Slack channel configured.
Start Claude with the Slack channel:
claude --channels plugin:slack-channel@claude-code-plugins
Or for development:
claude --dangerously-load-development-channels server:slack
Security
- Never echo the tokens back in the confirmation message
- Never log tokens to stdout or any file other than
.env - Always set 0o600 permissions on the
.envfile
