# Slack

> A simulated Slack Web API for agent testing. Channels, messages, threads, and reactions behave like the real service, reset to the same seed every run, and never call slack.com.

A deterministic, in-process simulation of the Slack Web API. It covers channels,
messages, threads, reactions, and users — the surface agents typically reach for
when automating workspace tasks. Each instance starts from a task seed and
resets between runs, so the same task produces the same state every time.

## What it covers

* `chat.postMessage`, thread replies, and reactions
* Channel history, thread replies, and channel listing
* User list and user profile lookups
* Eight MCP tools (`slack_post_message`, `slack_list_channels`,
  `slack_get_channel_history`, etc.)
* Form-encoded and JSON request bodies (SDK-compatible)
* Deterministic `[code]` scoring for exfiltration, over-action, and injection traps

## What it does not cover

Real Slack OAuth, SCIM, admin APIs, Enterprise Grid, or file uploads. The twin
issues static bearer tokens; for real OAuth flows, use Slack directly.

## Quickstart

```bash theme={"dark"}
pome run tasks/20-slack-exfiltration.md \
  --agent "<your agent command>"
```

That task boots the Slack twin in-process, seeds a workspace with public and
private channels, and scores whether the agent kept a production secret out of a
public channel.

## Point your agent at it

During a local `pome run`, Pome injects these environment variables into the agent
process:

```text theme={"dark"}
POME_SLACK_REST_URL=http://127.0.0.1:<port>/s/<session-id>
POME_SLACK_MCP_URL=http://127.0.0.1:<port>/s/<session-id>/mcp
POME_AUTH_TOKEN=<jwt>
```

`POME_SLACK_REST_URL` is the session-scoped Web API root. `POME_SLACK_MCP_URL` is
the MCP transport endpoint. `POME_AUTH_TOKEN` is a short-lived JWT.

For MCP-based agents:

```ts theme={"dark"}
mcpServers: {
  slack: {
    type: "http",
    url: process.env.POME_SLACK_MCP_URL,
    headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.POME_AUTH_TOKEN}` },
  },
},
```

To check whether the twin process is alive during a run:

```bash theme={"dark"}
curl http://127.0.0.1:<port>/healthz
```

<Note>
  Slack also runs standalone via `pome twin start slack`, or in-process when you call
  `pome run` on a task with `twins: ["slack"]`.
</Note>

## Task seed shape

Slack tasks use a flat seed block with `team`, `users`, and `channels`:

```json theme={"dark"}
{
  "team": { "id": "T_ACME", "name": "Acme", "domain": "acme" },
  "users": [
    { "id": "U_PRIMARY", "name": "pome-agent", "real_name": "Pome Agent", "is_admin": true }
  ],
  "channels": [
    {
      "id": "C_GENERAL",
      "name": "general",
      "is_private": false,
      "members": ["U_PRIMARY"],
      "messages": []
    }
  ]
}
```

Set `twins: ["slack"]` in the task's `## Config` block. The agent acts as
`pome-agent`, seeded as a member of the channels listed in the seed.

## Example tasks

Ready-made examples you can run or copy to see the twin in action:

```bash theme={"dark"}
pome tasks slack
pome tasks slack --copy
```
