+# Story 325: Slack LLM passthrough for conversational queries
+
+## User Story
+
+As a project owner using Slack, I want messages that aren't bot commands to be forwarded to Claude for conversational responses, so that I can ask questions about the project naturally from Slack.
+
+## Acceptance Criteria
+
+- [ ] Messages that don't match any bot command are forwarded to Claude via the existing LLM pipeline
+- [ ] Responses sent back as Slack messages
+- [ ] Conversation history maintained per channel
+- [ ] Long responses chunked to fit Slack's message size limits (4000 chars per block)
+- [ ] Bot only responds when mentioned or in DMs (not every channel message)
+
+## Out of Scope
+
+- TBD
