Set up a Slack notification channel (Sentinel) for a colony by driving the browser — reuse or create the "Hive Sentinel" Slack app from a JSON manifest, install it, capture the bot + app tokens, create/select the channel via the Slack API, and turn Sentinel on so the colony can ping the user on Slack and accept replies. Use when the user asks to "set up Slack notifications", "get pinged on Slack", "connect Slack for alerts", "set up Sentinel on Slack", or clicks the in-app…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Slack Notifications Setup (Sentinel)
Sentinel pings the user on Slack when a colony stalls and lets them reply from
Slack to keep it going. It needs a Slack app with two tokens:
- a **Bot User OAuth Token** (`xoxb-…`) — stored under credential id `slack`, used to *send* alerts and call the Slack API.
- an **App-Level Token** (`xapp-…`) with `connections:write` — stored under credential id `slack_app`, used by Socket Mode to *receive* the user's reply.
You do the whole thing end to end: reuse-or-create the app, read the tokens, store
them with the **`sentinel_setup`** tool (the same API the desktop connector uses),
create/select the channel **via the Slack API**, and turn Sentinel on — without
making the user paste anything.
**Activate `hive.browser-automation` first** — this skill assumes you know the
lifecycle rules (the bridge attaches to the user's own Chrome; never launch or kill
a browser), the screenshot + viewport-fraction coordinate workflow, and
`hive-browser interact`.
## Before you start — check what already exists
1. Run `sentinel_setup({"action": "status"})`. If it shows **both** `slack bot` and

How to install
mdr add aden-hive/hive/hive.slack-notifications-setup@sha256:fd465c378f275336The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.1, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
