55 Catch up
Claude Tag summarizes Slack threads and channels on demand. See one-off recaps, a scheduled morning rollup of open threads, and what’s waiting on you.

55.1 How catch-up prompts work
Each prompt below is a Slack message. You paste it in any channel Claude is in, Claude reads the channel or thread history and posts progress in that thread, and the recap lands there too. The result is always a summary of what was said, returned once or every morning depending on the prompt.
55.2 Check the channel’s connections
This use case needs no connections; it works on Slack history alone. Ask @Claude what can you access from this channel? to check; an admin can add a connection the channel is missing.
55.3 Prompts to paste
55.3.1 Get a one-off recap
A thread ran to forty replies overnight, or you skipped a channel for a week. Ask for the catch-up you need.
text wrap theme={null} @Claude catch me up on this channel since Monday.
text wrap theme={null} @Claude what got decided in this thread, and what's still open?
text wrap theme={null} @Claude summarize what I missed last week, grouped by topic.
Each of these bounds the work with a time window, one thread, or a grouping, so the summary comes back in a shape you can check.
55.3.2 Schedule a daily recap
If the first stretch of every morning goes to re-reading channels, schedule the recap instead. One message sets up a rollup that posts before you start the day.
text wrap theme={null} @Claude every weekday at 9am, post a summary of open threads in this channel and anything that looks like it's waiting on someone.
“Waiting on someone” makes the rollup surface actions, not just a recap of yesterday. To list or cancel scheduled work later, see Manage standing work.
