Announced December 8, 2025, Anthropic launched Claude Code directly inside Slack — turning team chat into a development environment.
How It Works
- Tag @Claude in any Slack channel or thread with a coding request
- Claude Code automatically detects the intent
- Analyzes surrounding conversation for context
- Selects the correct repository
- Generates code changes with progress updates in the thread
- Returns a session transcript and ready-to-review pull request
Key Capabilities
- End-to-end bug resolution (2-4 hour process → 15-30 minutes)
- Automated PR reviews with specific file/line references
- Collaborative debugging using conversation context
- Full session transcripts for audit trails
Requirements
- Claude Team or Enterprise plan
- Slack workspace admin permissions
- GitHub/GitLab repository access
- 10-15 minute setup
Why This Matters
This eliminates 60-80% of context switching overhead for routine development tasks. Developers describe tasks, review plans, approve execution, and provide feedback — all without leaving Slack.
Requirements
- Claude Team or Enterprise plan
