Reads Slack quietly and nudges only when mentions or watched topics need you
What this Grok bot does
A read-only Slack signal agent. Watches for your @mentions and high-signal keyword traffic on topics you choose, filters aggressively, and pings you only with actionable alerts in chat. Never posts in Slack.
