What Charlie can do

With Slack connected, Charlie becomes a teammate in every channel:
  • Capture a bug or task as a Linear ticket. Mention @Charlie (e.g., @Charlie, create a Linear issue with this bug) and he creates the ticket with the full conversation.
  • Pull rich context to understand the problem. Ask @Charlie, did we change anything before _X_ that caused this? or drop a Sentry link—Charlie surfaces relevant commits, stack traces, and root-cause details.
  • Brainstorm and propose a fix plan. @Charlie, how should we fix this? delivers approaches, edge cases, and sample code blocks.
  • Open a PR straight from chat. @Charlie, open a PR to fix this spins up a branch, commits the patch, and posts the GitHub PR back into the thread.
  • Summarize the discussion. @Charlie, summary please condenses the thread into a crisp recap with action items and owners.

​
Daemons and Slack events

Connected Slack workspaces can also wake daemon watch conditions. Use this when useful work starts in Slack and should be handled as a repeatable operating role. Supported routed Slack event families include:
  • mentions and thread replies
  • broader channel messages
  • DMs
Slack event wakes require the Slack integration to be connected and the Slack workspace mapping to route Slack activity to the intended repo. Channel constraints are not integration mappings; broad Slack message wakes should be narrowed to intentional channels in daemon watch wording or body policy. Good daemon patterns for Slack include:
  • triaging bug reports or support requests that appear in a shared channel
  • summarizing a noisy thread into next actions or a Linear issue
  • producing recurring support summaries or channel reports
  • keeping Slack-to-issue handoffs clean by filing, linking, and following up on the right issue
Use provider-visible watch wording, for example:
