+title: "Slack Agent"
+description: "Kick off background Agents from Slack by mentioning @Continue"
+---
+
+<Warning>
+
+  The Continue Slack app is currently in beta development and undergoing Slack's approval process.
+
+</Warning>
+
+## Overview
+
+Mention @Continue in any channel with a task description, and it will:
+
+- Create a new development agent
+- Clone and work on your Repository
+- Generate code changes and create pull requests
+- Keep you updated on progress
+
+<Card title="What It's Great For" icon="slack">
+
+  - Quick bug fixes and feature implementations
+  - Code reviews and refactoring
+  - Documentation updates
+  - Automated development tasks
+
+</Card>
+
+## Setup
+
+Continue's Slack Bot can be installed to a Slack workspace via the Hub, from:
+
+- [Personal Integrations Settings](https://hub.continue.dev/settings/integrations)
+- Org Integrations Settings - `https://hub.continue.dev/organizations/{your-org}/settings/integrations`
+
+<Warning>
+
+  Continue's Slack app is in Beta development. During installation, you will see a warning that it is not yet approved/official.
+
+</Warning>
+
+<Steps>
+
+  <Step title="Connect GitHub">
+
+    Click "Connect" next to GitHub in the Integrations settings, and grant access to the repositories you want Continue to work with.
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Authorize Slack">
+
+    Click the "Connect" button next to Slack and authorize the app in your workspace.
+
+  </Step>
+
+  <Step title="Set Default Repository (Optional)">
+
+    Use the repository selector within the Slack tile to select a default repository for Continue Agents to work in.
+
+  </Step>
+
+</Steps>
+
+## Usage
+
+To kick off an agent, mention `@Continue` with a short task description.
+
+### Thread Context
+
+When you mention `@Continue` in a **Slack thread**, Continue automatically uses the entire conversation as context. This means your agent starts with full situational awareness.
+
+If you start a **new message** (not a reply), Continue only sees that single message for context.  
+Use this for quick standalone requests.
+
+<Tip>
+
+  Provide clear, detailed prompts to help Continue understand your requirements:
+
+  ✅ **Good**: `@Continue Fix the authentication timeout issue in /api/v1/auth/login. Users are getting logged out after 5 minutes instead of 30.`
+
+  ❌ **Poor**: `@Continue fix auth`
+
+</Tip>
+
+<Accordion title="Repository Selection">
+
+  Continue determines which repository to work in with the following precedence:
+
+  1. **Specify in message**: Add `repo=repo-name` to your message:
+
+  ```
+  @Continue repo=my-app Fix the login validation bug
+  ```
+
+  <Tip>
+
+    Be sure the repository name matches a GitHub repository that the Continue GitHub App has access to.
+
+  </Tip>
+
+  2. **Default repo**: Uses the default repository if set in the integration settings
+
+  3. **Interactive selection**: If no repository is found, Continue will follow up with a dropdown to select a repository
+
+</Accordion>
+
+### Sending Follow-up Messages
+
+Once an agent is created, you can send additional messages by mentioning `@Continue` in the same thread:
+
+```
+@Continue Also add error handling for edge cases
+```
+
+Continue will forward your message to the existing agent session instead of creating a new one. 
+
+## Monitoring Agent Progress
+
+Click the agent link in Slack to view the agent's progress in [Mission Control](https://hub.continue.dev/agents).
+
+You can also click the Slack icon in the agents page to return to the Slack message.
+

+
+To remove the Slack integration:

+2. Find your Slack integration
