Agent Skill
OpenClaw Slacrawl
Searches a local Slack archive with freshness checks, bounded slices, thread context, and read-only SQL.
What is OpenClaw Slacrawl?
Slacrawl teaches an OpenClaw agent to use a local Slack archive before reaching for live workspace APIs. It checks the archive's date range and synchronization state, refreshes only when stale or explicitly requested, and keeps searches bounded by channel, thread, date, and result count. Read-only SQL is reserved for exact counts or rankings, while API synchronization and full private-thread hydration remain dependent on explicitly configured Slack credentials.
Key capabilities
Freshness-aware reads
Reports archive coverage before presenting old Slack data as current.
Bounded conversation slices
Limits channel, thread, DM, date, and result scope to keep evidence reviewable.
Exact read-only analysis
Uses SQL for counts and rankings without turning the archive into a write target.
Use cases
Decision recovery
Find earlier team discussions and report their workspace, channel, and date context.
Thread research
Reconstruct a bounded conversation without loading an entire workspace history.
Workspace reporting
Compute message counts or activity rankings from a read-only archive.
Compatibility
- OpenClaw with Skill installation support
