@alignfirst/openclaw-slack-mock

Synthetic Slack-shaped OpenClaw channel plugin. Registers as channel slack-mock. Its Slack-shaped action surface includes send, read, edit, delete, react, reactions, and search; fake thread creation, replies, and renames stay unavailable. send is prepared for OpenClaw core, which delivers through the mock's message adapter and shapes deliveryStatus, result.target, result.receipt.threadId, and messageDelivery. Starter text is preserved exactly.

Backed by @alignfirst/openclaw-channel-mock-core (surface: "slack", autoThread: true). Pair with @alignfirst/openclaw-test for the test harness.

Install

npm i -D @alignfirst/openclaw-slack-mock

The runner depends on this package transitively — installing @alignfirst/openclaw-test already pulls it in.

Enable

In your openclaw.json:

{
  "plugins": {
    "load": { "paths": ["/opt/openclaw-test/src/node_modules/@alignfirst/openclaw-slack-mock"] },
    "entries": { "slack-mock": { "enabled": true } }
  },
  "channels": {
    "slack-mock": {
      "baseUrl": "http://bus:43123",
      "botUserId": "openclaw",
      "botDisplayName": "OpenClaw Test",
      "allowFrom": ["*"],
      "replyToMode": "off"
    }
  }
}

enabled: true must be static. Auto-enable for origin: "config" plugins is timing-sensitive against the plan-resolution explicitlyEnabled check.

replyToMode supports "off" and "all". The default is "all" for compatibility: an eligible root message routes through a thread session keyed by that root message ID, and later replies use the same session. With "off", roots use the channel session and explicit replies use a thread session. Account-level configuration may override the top-level mode.

Target format

Canonical destination is the to param. Accepts channel:<id> / bare <id> / dm:<id> / group:<id> / thread:<channelId>/<threadId>.

Provider / Surface / OriginatingChannel on inbound metadata are claimed as slack-mock so the SDK routes tool-schema discovery to this plugin. The chat_id envelope shape is not rewritten — assert on conversation.id / threadId.
