 "repo_url": "https://github.com/yc-software/qm",
 "repo_slug": "yc-software-qm",
 "title": "Track a project in a shared Slack channel",
 "page_title": "How to track a project in a shared Slack channel with QM",
 "summary": "Keep a project's updates and follow-ups in a shared channel with the team's agent.",
 "who": "A team lead running a project who wants status updates and follow-ups handled in the channel where the team already talks.",
 "problem": "Project status is scattered across chat threads, and follow-ups get lost. The team needs an agent that works in the shared room without leaking each person's private files.",
 "outcome": "A shared Slack channel where the agent posts project updates and follow-ups, using only what the room's sharing posture allows.",
 "steps": [
  "Deploy a QM instance with Slack access enabled, as described in the deployment guide.",
  "Add the QM agent to the project channel in Slack (inferred: the README says the agent works in channels but does not list the exact invite steps).",
  "Keep the sharing posture at Isolated, the default, unless the team explicitly wants shared reads, and set it through the admin control in the web app.",
  "Ask the agent in the channel to track the project and post updates, and set a cron for regular check-ins using the background work feature."
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using the repository yc-software/qm, set up a shared Slack channel named <channel name> for tracking the project <project name>. Have the agent post a status summary and list open follow-ups. Verify that the summary contains only information from the channel and the project's shared scope.",
 "agents": [
  "any"
 ],
 "difficulty": "Intermediate",
 "time": "3 hours",
 "basis": "readme",
 "caveat": "Because a shared room with Open sharing can expose a speaker's opted-in personal files, keep the posture at Isolated unless the team has reviewed the Open setting in SECURITY.md.",
 "category": "Work and operations",
 "tags": [
  "Work and operations"
 ],
 "lang": "typescript",
 "requirements": [
  "Your own cloud account for the deployment, as the README says each deployment runs in the operator's own cloud",
  "Your own model keys and provider choice, since the README says deployments use your own models and keys",
  "Node.js and npm to run the qm CLI and npm install (inferred from the npm commands in the README)",
  "A Postgres database for durable sessions, set through DATABASE_URL",
  "Optional: a Slack workspace where you can grant access, if you want Slack rather than web only"
