- Search Slack messages, read threads, find channels and users. Use when the user asks to find Slack messages, read a Slack thread/link, locate a channel, or look up a person. MCP-free — uses Bun scripts calling Slack Web API directly.
Slack Search
Search Slack without MCP. Bun scripts call the Slack Web API directly.
Prerequisites
Two tokens are needed. They are configured via plugin settings (stored in OS Keychain) when you enable the olion500-skills plugin. Alternatively, set environment variables directly:
SLACK_USER_TOKEN(xoxp-...) — required for message search (search:readscope)SLACK_BOT_TOKEN(xoxb-...) — required for thread reading, channel/user lookup (channels:read,groups:read,channels:history,groups:history,users:read,users:read.email)
Tools
1. Message Search
Search messages across all channels. Requires SLACK_USER_TOKEN.
bun run $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/slack-tools/skills/slack-search/scripts/search.ts "<query>" [--count N]
Search modifiers (combine freely):
in:channel-name— specific channelfrom:username— messages from a userbefore:YYYY-MM-DD/after:YYYY-MM-DD— date range"exact phrase"— exact matchhas:link/has:file— content typeis:thread— threaded messages only-word— exclude messages containing a word
Examples:
bun run .../search.ts "deploy error after:2026-04-01"bun run .../search.ts "in:alerts OOM --count 5"
2. Read Thread
Read all messages in a thread. Accepts a Slack link or channel:ts format. Requires SLACK_BOT_TOKEN.
bun run $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/slack-tools/skills/slack-search/scripts/read-thread.ts "<slack-link-or-channel:ts>"
Examples:
bun run .../read-thread.ts "https://cupix.slack.com/archives/C12345/p1234567890123456"bun run .../read-thread.ts "C12345:1234567890.123456"
3. Find Channel
Find channels by name, topic, or purpose. Requires SLACK_BOT_TOKEN.
bun run $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/slack-tools/skills/slack-search/scripts/find-channel.ts "<query>"
4. Find User
Find users by name, email, or title. Requires SLACK_BOT_TOKEN.
bun run $CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/slack-tools/skills/slack-search/scripts/find-user.ts "<query>"
Workflow
- Message search — Start broad, then narrow with modifiers
- Read thread — When search results show an interesting permalink, use it to read the full thread
- Find channel/user — Use when you need a channel name for
in:filter or a username forfrom:filter
Tips
- Search is not real-time. Very recent messages (last few seconds) may not appear.
- Boolean operators (
AND,OR) don't work. Use spaces (implicit AND) and-wordfor exclusion. - If results are too broad, add
in:channelorfrom:userfilters. - The bot must be a member of a channel to read its threads. Public channels the bot has joined work; private channels require an invite.
- The scripts output compact text to minimize token usage.
