description

Slack-based command center for dispatching agents on RECON missions - lead scraping, legal research, market intelligence, competitor analysis, and compliance monitoring. Agents report findings back to dedicated Slack channels. Use when coordinating multi-agent intelligence gathering, running lead pipelines, monitoring regulations, or getting real-time agent status updates. Triggers on "recon", "slack", "intelligence", "dispatch", "scout", "monitor", "surveillance", "lead hunt", "market intel", "research mission".

Slack RECON Agent - Mission Command Center

Your Slack workspace is the war room. Agents get dispatched from Slack. Findings come back to Slack. Everything is logged, organized, and actionable.

MISSION: Legal Recon

Command: /recon-legal new CARB regulations 2027 quarterly testing Agent: Sentinel + Mila-Legal Channel: #recon-legal

Workflow:

1. User fires /recon-legal in Slack
2. Belichick dispatches to Sentinel (deep analysis) + Mila-Legal (source gathering)
3. Agents run in parallel - Sentinel on legal databases, Mila on regulatory sites
4. Consolidated report posted to #recon-legal

Output format in Slack:

:scales: [Sentinel + Mila-Legal] LEGAL RECON COMPLETE: "CARB 2027 quarterly testing"

REGULATION: HD I/M Quarterly Testing Mandate
EFFECTIVE: October 1, 2027
CITATION: California Code of Regulations, Title 13, Division 3

KEY FINDINGS:
- OBD-equipped vehicles (2013+ diesel, 2018+ alt fuel) must test 4x/year
- Agricultural vehicles and CA motorhomes exempt (stay at 1x/year)
- Creates massive demand for credentialed testers

BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY:
- Estimated 1.2M additional tests/year needed statewide
- Current tester capacity insufficient
- Mobile testing operations = lowest barrier to entry

RISK: Low | LICENSING: CARB credentialed tester (free training)

MISSION: Market Intel

Command: /recon-market diesel emissions testing California Agent: Kesha + Musk Channel: #recon-market

Workflow:

1. User fires /recon-market in Slack
2. Belichick dispatches Kesha (audience/trend research) + Musk (competitor sites)

4. Musk reviews competitor websites, pricing, positioning
5. Combined market intelligence report posted to #recon-market

Output format in Slack:

:mag: [Kesha + Musk] MARKET INTEL: "diesel emissions testing California"

MARKET SIZE: ~$340M/year (projected with 2027 quarterly mandate)
SEARCH VOLUME: "diesel emissions test near me" - 12,400/mo (trending UP)
COMPETITORS: 47 credentialed testers listed on CARB site

TOP COMPETITORS:
1. [Competitor A] - 3 locations, 4.2 rating, website outdated
2. [Competitor B] - Mobile only, 4.7 rating, strong SEO
3. [Competitor C] - Fleet-focused, no consumer presence

CONTENT GAPS:
- No competitor has YouTube presence
- "How to prepare for Clean Truck Check" = 0 quality results
- Spanish-language content = massive unserved market

RECOMMENDATION: Mobile-first, bilingual, YouTube-driven brand

MISSION: Compliance Check

Command: /recon-compliance 1HGBH41JXMN109186 Agent: Mila-CARB Channel: #recon-compliance

Workflow:

1. User fires /recon-compliance with VIN
2. Mila-CARB looks up vehicle details and compliance status
3. Posts compliance summary with next deadlines and action items

Output format in Slack:

:clipboard: [Mila-CARB] COMPLIANCE CHECK: VIN ...9186

VEHICLE: 2021 Freightliner Cascadia | GVWR: 33,000 lbs
STATUS: NON-COMPLIANT (test overdue)
LAST TEST: 2024-08-15 (PASS)
NEXT DUE: 2025-02-15 (OVERDUE)

ACTION REQUIRED:
1. Schedule test immediately - DMV hold risk
2. Fee status: $31.18 annual fee UNPAID for 2025
3. After Oct 2027: quarterly testing required

PENALTY RISK: $10,000/day per vehicle

MISSION: Prospect Deep Dive

:bust_in_silhouette: [Jon Jones + Lead Scraper] PROSPECT DOSSIER: Pacific Fleet LLC

COMPANY INFO:
- Fleet size: ~85 vehicles (estimated from DOT records)
- Location: Los Angeles, CA
- Primary routes: CA, AZ, NV
- Rating: 4.8 (342 Google reviews)
- Website: pacificfleet.example.com

COMPLIANCE EXPOSURE:
- 85 vehicles x $31.18/year = $2,650/year in fees alone
- 85 vehicles x 4 tests/year (2027) = 340 tests/year needed
- Current tester: Unknown

SALES ANGLE (by Jon Jones):
- Pain point: Managing 340 annual compliance tests
- Pitch: Fleet compliance management package
- Pricing: $X/vehicle/year (all-inclusive)
- Objection prep: "We already have a tester" → mobility + scheduling advantage
- Decision maker: Operations Manager (likely)

NEXT STEP: Outreach call or email via Jon Jones

Belichick Dispatch Protocol

When a RECON command comes through Slack, Belichick follows this protocol:

1. RECEIVE command from Slack
2. VALIDATE:
   - Is the requesting user authorized?
   - Is the requested agent available?
   - Is there budget for this mission?
3. DISPATCH to appropriate agent(s)
   - Post dispatch confirmation to #agent-status (see format below)
   - Set agent status to BUSY
4. MONITOR execution
   - Enforce timeout (5 min max)
   - Watch for errors
5. DELIVER results to appropriate channel
   - ALWAYS lead with agent name (see message format rules below)
   - Attach files if applicable
6. LOG mission
   - Agent used, tokens consumed, time elapsed
   - Post summary to #agent-status

Message Format Rules - Agent Names FIRST

Every Slack message from the system follows this format so you always know WHO is talking:

Dispatch confirmation (posted to #agent-status):

[DISPATCHED] Lead Scraper → /recon-leads "trucking companies in Dallas TX"
  Requested by: @gillis | Channel: #recon-leads | Timeout: 5 min

Agent working (posted to #agent-status):

[BUSY] Lead Scraper — querying Google Places API (47 results so far)
[BUSY] Sentinel + Mila-Legal — scanning eCFR + ILGA databases

Mission complete (posted to target channel):

[Lead Scraper] LEAD HUNT COMPLETE: "trucking companies in Dallas TX"
[Sentinel + Mila-Legal] LEGAL RECON COMPLETE: "CARB 2027 quarterly testing"
[Kesha + Musk] MARKET INTEL: "diesel emissions testing California"
[Mila-CARB] COMPLIANCE CHECK: VIN ...9186
[Jon Jones + Lead Scraper] PROSPECT DOSSIER: Pacific Fleet LLC

Errors (posted to #alerts):

[TIMEOUT] Sentinel — /recon-legal timed out after 5 min. Task killed.
[ERROR] Lead Scraper — Google Places API returned 429 (rate limited). Retry in 60s.
[KILL] Belichick killed Sentinel per @gillis command.

The pattern is always: [AGENT NAME] what happened. No exceptions.

Make.com Integration (Webhook Bridge)

If running ClawdBot locally, use Make.com as the webhook bridge between Slack and your Mac:

Slack Slash Command
  → Make.com Webhook (receives the command)
    → HTTP Request to ClawdBot Gateway (localhost via Cloudflare Tunnel or ngrok)
      → Belichick dispatches agent
        → Agent completes task
          → ClawdBot → Make.com → Slack Incoming Webhook
            → Results posted to correct channel

Make.com Scenario Setup:

1. Trigger: Slack - Watch for slash command
2. Router: Route based on command type (leads/legal/market/compliance/prospect)
3. HTTP Module: POST to ClawdBot gateway with task payload
4. Wait Module: Wait for agent response (up to 5 min)
5. Slack Module: Post formatted results to target channel
6. Error Handler: Post failure to #alerts if agent times out or errors

Cron-Based Recurring RECON

Status Pulse (the board you can always check)

Belichick posts a status pulse to #agent-status on a cron schedule so you ALWAYS know the state of the board without asking.

Schedule: Every 2 hours during business hours (8 AM - 8 PM), plus on-demand via /agent-status

Status Pulse format:

AGENT STATUS PULSE — Feb 15, 2026 10:00 AM

Security & Guardrails

• Authorized users only - Slack user allowlist for slash commands
• Budget caps - Kill mission if token spend exceeds threshold
• No PII in Slack - Agents strip sensitive data before posting
• Audit trail - All dispatches logged with user, time, agent, cost
• Kill switch - /kill [agent] immediately terminates any running mission
• Channel isolation - Agents can ONLY post to their designated channels
• Rate limiting - Max 10 recon missions per hour to prevent runaway costs
