This skill should be used when the user asks to "monitor a Slack channel", "watch Slack for messages", "create a Slack bot that responds to mentions", "set up an OpenHands Slack integration", "trigger OpenHands from Slack", "respond to @openhands in Slack", or "poll Slack channels for a trigger phrase". Guides the user through creating a cron automation that watches up to 10 Slack channels and starts an OpenHands conversation whenever a configurable trigger phrase is detected.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'slack-channel-monitor' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'slack-channel-monitor' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named slack-channel-monitor already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/OpenHands/extensions' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'b98ac0671a51cc91bab3609bf4d334c7c832dd98' -- 'skills/slack-channel-monitor' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/slack-channel-monitor' ~/.agents/skills/'slack-channel-monitor' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'slack-channel-monitor' ~/.claude/skills/'slack-channel-monitor' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
