Slack Commands
There’s no command syntax to learn — just talk to Chief in plain English. Chief listens in four contexts.
Direct Messages
Open a DM with @Chief and write whatever you want done. DMs are private and the most natural place for one-off work.
Hey Chief, take a quick look at last week's #marketing channel
and pull out anything that mentioned the Q2 launch.Channel @-Mentions
Invite Chief to a channel with /invite @chief, then @-mention it.
@Chief can you summarize this thread and post the summary in #leadership?Thread Replies
Once Chief is in a thread, you don’t need to @-mention again — just keep replying.
You: @Chief, find me three competitors with similar pricing.
Chief: [posts list]
You: Can you also pull their LinkedIn employee counts?Slash Commands
For quick operations:
| Command | Effect |
|---|---|
/chief-status | Show what Chief is currently working on |
/chief-stop | Cancel the current task |
/chief-help | Quick reference card |
/chief-knowledge | Browse what Chief has learned |
/chief-learn | Manually teach Chief something |
Reactions
Reactions are bidirectional — Chief uses them to show status, and you can use them to give Chief feedback.
You can react with 👍 or 👎 on any Chief message to teach the system. 👎 prompts a follow-up: “What would you have preferred?” Your answer becomes a learned preference.
Talking About Chief
If you say chief in lowercase or in narrative (“we should ask chief about this”), Chief stays quiet. Chief responds when:
- It’s @-mentioned (
@Chief) - A message is in a DM with Chief
- A message is in a thread Chief is already participating in
This keeps Chief from interrupting natural conversation.
