@paleo/openclaw-slack-mock

Synthetic Slack-shaped OpenClaw channel plugin. Registers as channel slack-mock. Restricted Slack-shaped action surface: read, edit, delete, react, reactions, search. No send / thread-create / thread-reply. Bare-channel inbounds auto-thread: the first agent outbound creates a thread anchored on the inbound message id; every subsequent outbound from the same turn lands in that thread.

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

Install

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

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

Enable

In your openclaw.json:

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

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

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.

Attribution

Adapted from upstream OpenClaw's extensions/slack/ plugin shape (manifest + entry points only). See NOTICE.md.
