Slack

Slack is the source-capture, notification, and compatibility integration. The web UI is the canonical workflow control surface.

Use Slack for:

  • Creating initiatives.
  • Capturing source messages and files.
  • Running quality checks through compatibility commands.
  • Answering readiness questions as a secondary input.
  • Receiving deep links for approval, generation, discovery, Delivery Plan, and Handoff Pack workflows.
  • Running Technical Discovery & Refinement threads when configured.
  • Receiving Handoff Pack notifications.

Slack commands remain compatibility paths for status, quality, discovery close, and draft Delivery Plan generation. The initiative page owns PRD section resolution, task reshaping, explicit Send to Linear, Handoff Pack gate resolution, and publishing.

Required Public-Channel Scopes​

Slack requires these public-channel scopes:

  • channels:history
  • channels:read
  • files:read
  • users:read
  • users:read.email
  • chat:write
  • commands
  • app_mentions:read

Optional Private-Channel And DM Capture​

Optional private-channel and DM capture can request:

  • groups:history
  • im:history
  • mpim:history

Reinstall Slack if the workspace token cannot be decrypted or scopes need to change.
