Messaging Gateway (Slack/WhatsApp)
Read, search and send your Slack and WhatsApp messages from one always-on assistant
About this skill
A local-first bridge that lets your assistant read, search and send across both Slack and WhatsApp on the device, with no telemetry and messages kept in a local store. It combines two open-source projects, each with its own login: Slack (korotovsky) is actively maintained, while the WhatsApp anchor (lharries) is more popular but stale, so the maintained fork is recommended. Note the WhatsApp side uses a personal-account connection that is against WhatsApp terms and can risk an account ban, and because it reads inbound messages from anyone and can also send, treat it as higher-risk and keep Slack posting off until you trust it.
What it does
- Read your Slack channels, DMs and message history
- Read your personal WhatsApp chats, including images, video, documents and audio
- Search your Slack messages and WhatsApp contacts
- Send messages and media on your behalf in Slack and WhatsApp (write actions; Slack posting is off by default and must be turned on)
- Add or remove reactions and mark Slack messages as read
- Store your WhatsApp message history locally in a SQLite database on the device
- Reach any app other than Slack and WhatsApp
- Send your messages to any third-party cloud server or telemetry endpoint (both bridges are local-first; content only reaches the model when a tool is called)
- Run shell commands, modify files outside its own store, or escalate system privileges
- Access Slack workspace-admin functions beyond the scopes/token you grant
- Delete your Slack or WhatsApp messages or accounts
Security report
- Hidden instructions that could trick your AI (prompt injection)
