Documents how to run Droid as yourself from Slack, so Factory can answer this question without escalating.

  • integrations/slack.mdx: new "Run Droid as yourself" section. DMs to @Factory run with your personal identity and connected apps; DMing yourself and mentioning @Factory prompts for a code channel; channel mentions follow the channel's Run as setting. Explains where to set the compute, model, and instructions for DM sessions (Settings > Session Defaults > Delegations).
  • cli/features/droid-computers.mdx: replaces the vague "can be selected via Slack" line with how the computer is chosen for DMs vs. channel mentions.

Droid finished @factory-droid[bot]'s task —— View job


The channel-compute guidance incorrectly implies administrator configuration is required for all channel mentions, contradicting the documented ad hoc picker and saved-default workflow. Clarify that ordinary mentions in unconfigured channels can still select a computer.

Slack sessions can run on a Droid Computer:

- **DMs with `@Factory`** run as you. Pick the computer in **Settings** → **Session Defaults**, in the **Delegations** section at the bottom of the page.
- **Channel mentions** use the channel's configured computer, which an admin sets in the Slack channel settings. See [Slack](/integrations/slack#run-droid-as-yourself) for details.

[P2] Preserve ad hoc computer selection for channel mentions

This makes administrator-configured channel compute sound mandatory for every channel mention, but docs/integrations/slack.mdx:108 explicitly says standard mentions work without channel configuration, and line 141 documents an ad hoc computer picker with a saved default for future mentions. Users mentioning Factory in an unconfigured channel are therefore directed to an administrator instead of the supported picker/default workflow. Distinguish configured channel workflows from ordinary ad hoc mentions.

Suggested change
- **Channel mentions** use the channel's configured computer, which an admin sets in the Slack channel settings. See [Slack](/integrations/slack#run-droid-as-yourself) for details.
- **Channel mentions** can use the channel's configured computer, which an admin sets in the Slack channel settings. For ad hoc mentions in unconfigured channels, you can choose a computer and save it as your default for future mentions. See [Slack](/integrations/slack#slack-settings) for details.
