Slack Controller (Browser Edition)

This skill automates the Slack Web Client (app.slack.com) or Desktop App (via Debug Port) using a dedicated automation profile. This allows the agent to send messages, start huddles, share screen, and manage status acting as you.

Prerequisites

1. Slack Desktop App (preferred) or Google Chrome installed.
2. Permissions: Terminal/Cursor must have Screen Recording and Accessibility permissions in macOS System Settings.
3. Login: You must log in manually once in the automation window/profile if prompted.

Usage

Via OpenClaw Chat

"Message Adeel saying hello"

"Start a huddle with Adeel and share my screen"

"Set my status to In a Meeting for 1 hour"

"Search for 'quarterly report'"

Via CLI (Manual)
