Reverse chat: Slack as Claude Code front-end

[davesleal]

Feature Request

Enable bidirectional chat with Claude Code sessions via Slack, using SlackClaw as the bridge.

How it would work

1. User sends a message in #claude-code channel (or DM to SlackClaw)
2. SlackClaw forwards the message to a running Claude Code session (via claude -p subprocess or API)
3. SlackClaw posts the response back to Slack

With the Claude Code Slack MCP plugin, Claude Code can also proactively post updates into Slack during a session — closing the loop fully.

Components needed

• New #claude-code channel (or dedicated DM handler)
• Claude Code proxy mode in SlackClaw (subprocess bridge)
• Session lifecycle management (start/stop/resume)
• Response streaming back to Slack

Value

Slack becomes a proper front-end for Claude Code sessions — useful for mobile access, async workflows, and team visibility.
