sweep-channels

To find untracked backlog items across Slack channels, you can run a sweep that scans all bot-accessible channels, applies a per-channel watermark, and surfaces untracked items for human-in-the-loop review before cross-posting to #ideas.

Deduplication against existing Shortcut cards works by comparing newly discovered Slack backlog items against existing cards, ensuring that previously tracked items are not surfaced again during the cross-channel sweep.

Yes, you can limit the backlog sweep to a specific time window using the optional --days parameter, which adjusts the watermark lookback period for both known channels and newly discovered ones.

The backlog sweep requires human-in-the-loop review, meaning a human must classify and approve or reject each candidate item before it is cross-posted to the #ideas channel to seed the product backlog.

The best way to discover untracked backlog signals in new Slack channels is using an automated sweep with new-channel discovery capabilities, maintaining configurable lookback watermarks to catch recent conversations.
