slack-audit

/slack-audit

Scan one or more Slack channels for the last N hours, identify threads that contain actionable work items with no corresponding GH issue or PR, and report or redrive them.

Usage

/slack-audit [--channel <#channel|channel_id>] [--hours <N>] [--fix] [--dry-run]

• Default channel: #worldai (C0AH3RY3DK6)
• Default window: 24h
• --dry-run (default): print the gap report, no Slack posts
• --fix: post a status reply to each dropped thread and reply-to-channel to surface it

Subagent strategy (mandatory)

Always fan out parallel subagents for independent lookups. Do NOT do GH searches sequentially.

• Subagent A — Slack fetch: pull channel history for the time window, parse threads, extract work items
• Subagent B — GH issues search: for all extracted items, fan out parallel gh issue list --search calls (one per item, all in parallel)
• Subagent C — GH PR search: for all extracted items, fan out parallel gh pr list --search calls in parallel with subagent B
• Merge results in the main agent: join Slack threads with GH tracking results, classify each as TRACKED / COMPLETED / UNTRACKED / NEEDS_REDRIVE

When running --fix: fan out parallel Slack posts (one per dropped thread), do not post sequentially.

Identity: Always post as the authenticated user ($USER via MCP Slack tool). Never post as a bot user.

Step-by-step

1. Fetch channel history

Use mcp__slack__conversations_history for the target channel + time window.

mcp__slack__conversations_history(channel_id=<ID>, limit="48h")

Parse the CSV result (headers: MsgID,UserID,UserName,...,Text,Time,...).

Group messages by ThreadTs (empty ThreadTs = root message = its own thread).

2. Extract work items

For each thread, identify messages containing actionable intent signals:

Signal	Examples
Imperative verb	"fix", "make", "create", "spawn", "investigate", "drive", "open PR", "file issue"
PR/issue reference	github.com/.../pull/N, #7NNN, /green, /es, /er
Status question	"what's the status", "is this done", "any update"
Explicit work	"AO worker", "dispatch", "bring to green", "/babysit"

Skip threads that are purely status reports from bots (hermes, coderabbit, etc.) with no human reply.

3. Check GH tracking for each work item

For each extracted work item:

1. Search gh issue list --repo $GITHUB_REPOSITORY --search "<keywords>" (or agent-orchestrator if relevant)
2. Search gh pr list --repo $GITHUB_REPOSITORY --search "<keywords>"
3. Check if the thread itself references a PR/issue number that is still open

Classify each thread:

Status	Meaning
TRACKED	Has open or recently merged GH issue/PR
COMPLETED	Referenced PR/issue is merged/closed
UNTRACKED	No GH issue or PR found
NEEDS_REDRIVE	Has issue/PR but no recent activity (>48h stale)

4. Dry-run report (default)

Print a table:

THREAD                          | STATUS      | GH          | LAST ACTIVITY
--------------------------------|-------------|-------------|---------------
keep-logging-in (Jun 14 00:06)  | TRACKED     | #7576 OPEN  | just filed
collapsible filter (Jun 14 19:29)| TRACKED    | #7203 OPEN  | no PR yet
#684 send_message mis-route     | NEEDS_REDRIVE| #684 OPEN  | 20h stale
wiki-ingest campaign skill      | UNTRACKED   | none        | -
RAG optimize-anything           | UNTRACKED   | none        | -

5. --fix mode: redrive dropped threads

For each UNTRACKED or NEEDS_REDRIVE thread:

1. Post a reply in the thread summarizing what was found (or not found) and what the next step is.
2. Post a reply-to-channel so the thread surfaces at the top of #worldai.

Template for untracked item:

Following up: this thread has no GH issue or PR yet.
[Summary of what was asked]
Next: [proposed action — file issue / spawn worker / close as resolved]

Template for needs-redrive:

Re-driving: issue #N / PR #N has had no activity for >48h.
Current state: [open/CI-red/CR-changes-requested]
Next: [specific action]

Always use the user's identity ($USER via mcp__slack__conversations_add_message). Never use bot tokens for these posts.

6. Channels to check by default

Channel	ID	Purpose
#worldai	C0AH3RY3DK6	Main your-project.com work
#jleechanclaw	C0AJ3SD5C79	Hermes/OpenClaw infra work
#agent-orchestrator	C0ALSKLU9KM	AO worker status

Existing Hermes scripts (reuse, don't duplicate)

• ~/.hermes/lib/slack_thread_lib.sh — slack_post <job> <text> [--channel C] [--force] [--no-thread]
• ~/.hermes/src/orchestration/slack_catchup.py — channel history + per-channel cursor state
• ~/.hermes/scripts/slack_history_to_memory.py — sync Slack history to memory markdown

Use the MCP Slack tool (mcp__slack__conversations_history, mcp__slack__conversations_add_message) for in-session posting. Use slack_thread_lib.sh for cron/automation posting.

Integration with /learn

After any --fix run, call /learn to capture:

• Which threads were redriven
• Which were untracked → now have issues filed
• Pattern of what kinds of work commonly fall through

Notes

• A thread counts as "redriven" only if a reply is actually posted AND the channel root message is bumped (reply-to-channel).
• The dry-run report is the default so you can review before posting.
• Skip threads where the root message is from a cron bot and there are no human replies.
• Skip threads where the only message is a /repro or /green command that completed (has a bot success reply with ✅).
