Slack Commands

Use the /intake command in a Slack workspace where inrelay is installed. These commands remain useful for creation, status, quality checks, and compatibility workflows. The initiative page owns progression actions such as PRD review, Handoff Pack scope confirmation, pack preparation, and publishing.

CommandWhen To Run ItWhat Happens
/intake new <name>Start an initiative from Slack.Creates a new inrelay initiative with the team prefix, for example ENG-123.
/intake status ENG-123Check progress without opening the UI.Returns the initiative state, included artefact count, and confidence if available.
/intake generate ENG-123After source context has been added, or after adding more context.Queues a quality check. inrelay posts a Slack update and links back to the initiative page when complete.
/intake approve ENG-123Approve the latest draft document from Slack.Approves the document and starts Technical Discovery & Refinement.
/intake reject ENG-123 <reason>Send a draft back for more context or correction.Rejects the latest draft, records the reason, and returns the initiative to enrichment.
/intake discover-close ENG-123Stop an open discovery thread when enough context has been gathered.Manually closes discovery and preserves unresolved questions for downstream context.
/intake tasks ENG-123After the PRD is approved and discovery is complete or manually closed.Queues draft Delivery Plan generation in inrelay. Linear issue creation waits for the explicit Send to Linear action in the initiative page.
