SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you understand and configure how @Claude is assembled across agents, scopes, profiles, presets, connections, repositories, and custom instructions so you can make safe changes without guessing what inherits where.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Agent and scope resolution: Learn how channel, workspace, and org-level settings combine when a user mentions @Claude.
  • Profile and permission planning: Understand how identity profiles add credentials, network rules, plugins, and repository access across multiple scopes.
  • Integration setup: Figure out when to use presets versus connections for services like GitHub, Slack integrations, and external tools.
  • Best-practice guidance: Use the recommended patterns for read-only versus write access, shared workspace configuration, and fresh-thread verification after changes.

Quick Start

Ask Claude to explain the specific @Claude configuration change you want to make and summarize the relevant inheritance rules, permissions, and best practices for your Slack workspace.

Frequently Asked Questions about config-guide

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I configure @Claude Slack agent scope and identity profile inheritance?▼

Configure @Claude agent scope by mapping how channel, workspace, and org-level settings combine. Identity profiles use additive binding to layer credentials, network rules, and repository access across these multiple scopes.

What is the difference between @Claude presets and connections for GitHub repository access?▼

@Claude presets provide standardized integration templates for services like GitHub, while connections establish direct external tool links. Both resolve repository access through first-non-empty environment resolution rules.

Why are my @Claude configuration changes not showing up in the Slack workspace?▼

@Claude configuration changes require verification in a fresh Slack thread. Existing threads retain their original scoped settings, so newly inherited identity profiles or custom instructions only appear in new conversations.

How does per-field inheritance work for @Claude custom instructions and agent settings?▼

Per-field inheritance for @Claude custom instructions resolves settings by checking agent, scope, and profile levels sequentially. The first non-empty value found determines the active configuration for that specific field.

Can I use read-only permissions with @Claude identity profiles for admin troubleshooting?▼

You can assign read-only versus write access permissions within @Claude identity profiles. This admin troubleshooting pattern allows safe rollout planning without risking unintended workspace modifications.
