sladm — Slack Admin CLI for humans and AI agents

CLI & Agent Skill for managing Slack Enterprise Grid / Business+ workspaces via admin.* APIs.

日本語版 README

Features

• 130 commands covering admin.* and standard Slack APIs: teams, users, conversations, apps, invite-requests, workflows, functions, scim-users, scim-groups, auth-policy, barriers, emoji, roles, usergroups, and token management
• Agent Skill — ships with a Claude Code / Codex skill so AI agents can drive Slack admin tasks using the CLI as a tool
• Bulk operations — archive, delete, or move hundreds of channels at once with conversations bulk-*
• Output formats — table (human), JSON (programmatic), TSV (pipe-friendly)
• Multi-org support — switch between orgs with --profile, tokens stored in OS keychain

Note: This CLI is in alpha. Use at your own risk. Only a subset of features have been verified.

Agent Skill

To use this CLI as an agent skill in Claude Code, Cursor, OpenCode, etc.:

npx skills add yamitzky/slack-admin-cli

When the skill is active, agents automatically use sladm commands for Slack admin operations, with per-command-group recipes providing API reference context.

Quick Start

1. Create a Slack App

Create an app at Slack API and grant the required admin.* scopes (see Required Scopes).

2. Register Token

sladm token add default xoxp-your-token-here

3. Verify

sladm token status
sladm teams list

Usage Examples

Invite a user

# Invite as a full member
sladm users invite --team-id T024XCDSF --email new-member@example.com \
  --channel-ids C01ABCD2EFG

# Invite as a single-channel guest
sladm users invite --team-id T024XCDSF --email guest@partner.com \
  --channel-ids C01ABCD2EFG --is-ultra-restricted true

Deactivate a user

# Find the user
sladm scim-users list --filter 'email eq "leaving@example.com"'

# Deactivate their account (org-wide, via SCIM API)
sladm scim-users deactivate --id U02T7QBTFGA

Authentication

Profile Management

sladm token add production xoxp-prod-token    # Add profile
sladm token add staging xoxp-staging-token     # Add another
sladm token list                               # List profiles
sladm token remove staging                     # Remove profile

Tokens are stored in the OS keychain (macOS Keychain / Linux Secret Service). Falls back to ~/.config/sladm/.token-<name> if keychain is unavailable.

Switching Profiles

sladm --profile production teams list          # Via flag
SLADM_PROFILE=staging sladm teams list         # Via env var

Priority: --profile flag > SLADM_PROFILE env var > default profile

If you only have one profile, --profile is not needed.

Output

All data-returning commands support three output formats:

sladm teams list                 # Table (default)
sladm teams list --json          # JSON
sladm teams list --plain         # TSV (for scripting)
