Agent Company Operating System

Run a multi-agent company inside Slack using a single Markdown specification file.

Playable

Description

A system for building and managing AI agent teams within Slack using a single markdown file for roles, skills, and memory. The architecture connects Slack apps to a custom backend that loads instructions from agent-company.md to generate model-agnostic agent responses via any chosen AI provider.

Descriptions, tags, and model credits may be AI-generated or inferred from public sources and can be incomplete or wrong. Learn more.

Prompt

Build the Slack agent backend described in the attached agent-company.md file. Work with me interactively. Before writing code, inspect the specification and ask for any missing technical decisions, including the programming language, deployment target, AI provider, Slack events, and required Slack permissions. The implementation must: 1. Expose a public HTTPS compatible Slack event endpoint. 2. Verify incoming Slack requests using the correct signing secret. 3. Support the Slack events selected during configuration. 4. Map each Slack app identity to the correct role in agent-company.md. 5. Load company context, the assigned role, relevant skills, and that agent's memory before requesting an AI response. 6. Preserve the originating Slack channel and thread when sending a response. 7. Read all credentials from environment variables. 8. Never place credentials in source code or agent-company.md. 9. Provide local setup, environment variable, deployment, and test instructions. 10. Explain each required Slack permission and event before asking me to enable it. Do not invent missing credentials, deployment details, scopes, or event names. Ask me to confirm them where needed. Build the smallest testable version for one agent first, then show me how to add the remaining agents.
