# Draft a Slack Answer Generate a concise, helpful answer to a Slack question by researching the codebase and context. ## Tools Needed - `Bash` — `spy thread <channel> <ts> --json -w <workspace>` ([Spy](https://github.com/tomharris/spy) Slack CLI) to read full thread context - `Read` — read queue items, config, and source code files - `Write` — write draft answer - `Grep`, `Glob` — search local codebase ## Input A queue item file in `~/.local/share/engineer-agent/queue/incoming/` with type `slack-question`, containing the message text and thread context. ## Steps ### 1. Understand the Question Read the queue item file. Extract the `project` field from frontmatter. Analyze: - What specifically is being asked? - Is this about code implementation, architecture, status, or something else? - Is there enough context to give a good answer? ### 2. Research Read `~/.local/share/engineer-agent/engineer.yaml` to find the project's path at `projects.<project>.path`. If you need more thread context than the queue item already contains, read it with `spy thread <channel_id> <ts> --json -w <workspace>`, resolving the Spy binary (`agent.slack.bin`, default `spy`) and workspace (`projects.<project>.slack.workspace` ?? `agent.slack.workspace`) from config. Based on the question type: **Code/implementation questions:** - Use `Grep` to search for relevant code patterns in the project's local codebase (at the project path) - Use `Read` to read specific files referenced in the questio
