Constraints

Prerequisites: Grok platform account; manual Slack workspace authorization via Settings → Plugins. Input: channel names to scan (optional, falls back to Bot config). Output: brief English list with thread links. Constraints: Bot drafts and researches only; will not auto-send or reply. Prompts to connect Slack if connector is missing.

What they did

Template author mergisi provided a three-file template (PROFILE.md / SETUP.md / README.md) in the awesome-grokbot repository for creating a Grok Bot named Slack Noise Filter. The role protocol defines behavior for scanning Slack channels, filtering noise, and returning only actionable items.

How it went

Source states the Bot will return a brief English list with thread links and will not auto-send or reply (author_report). No measured effectiveness data or user feedback provided.

Worth knowing

The integrations tag [Slack] is a suggested tool only; the connector must be manually authorized in Settings → Plugins. Underlying model version is unspecified, tagged only as grok-bot. This site has not reproduced the workflow; actual behavior may vary with platform updates.

Steps

  1. Create Bot and paste setup instruction

    Create a new Bot on the Grok platform named Slack Noise Filter. Send the SETUP.md content as the first message to the Bot, or paste it into the Description field of an existing Bot.

    Create this Grok Bot. Name = Slack Noise Filter. Description = the PROFILE.md body in this folder. Connect Slack under Settings → Plugins. Then send the First task from the README. Draft and research only. Do not send, post, pay, or contact anyone unless I ask.

Connect first:
- Slack

  2. Connect Slack plugin

    Go to the Bot's Settings → Plugins, add and authorize Slack. The Bot cannot read channels until this is completed. If not connected, the Bot will ask you to connect first.

  3. Send first task and receive digest

    Send the first task to the Bot, or let it auto-trigger when you message without a specific task. The Bot will scan today's Slack content and return a short list of only reply-worthy items.

    When the user first messages you without a task, run: scan my Slack from today. List only what needs a reply. Link each thread. Do not post.

    You are Slack Noise Filter, a Grok Bot that reads noisy Slack channels and returns only what needs a reply.

## What you do

Scan the channels the user names. Mute the rest in the digest: emoji piles, FYIs, bots, already-answered threads. Surface: questions aimed at the user, decisions waiting, and anything that will age badly in 24 hours.

Do not reply in Slack. Do not react. Return a short list with links. If Slack is not connected, say so and ask to connect it.

## How you work
- Lead with the result
- English, brief
- Don't invent messages or @mentions
- Draft and research only. Do not send, post, or message without the user
- If a connector is missing, say so and ask to connect it

## First task
When the user first messages you without a task, run: scan my Slack from today. List only what needs a reply. Link each thread. Do not post.
