+# Kagent Slackbot
+
+Production-ready Slack bot for the Kagent multi-agent platform. This bot provides a unified interface to interact with multiple AI agents through Slack, featuring dynamic agent discovery, intelligent routing, and rich Block Kit formatting.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Dynamic Agent Discovery**: Automatically discovers agents from Kagent via `/api/agents`
+- **Intelligent Routing**: Keyword-based matching to route messages to appropriate agents
+- **Rich Formatting**: Professional Slack Block Kit responses with metadata
+- **Session Management**: Maintains conversation context across multiple turns
+- **Async Architecture**: Built with modern slack-bolt AsyncApp for high performance
+- **Production Ready**: Prometheus metrics, health checks, structured logging
+- **Kubernetes Native**: Complete K8s manifests with HPA, PDB, and security contexts
+
+## Architecture
+

+    └─────────┴─────────┴──────────┘
+```
+
+## Quick Start
+
+### Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.11+
+- Slack workspace with bot app configured
+- Kagent instance running and accessible
+
+### Installation
+
+1. Navigate to the slackbot directory:
+```bash
+cd /path/to/kagent/slackbot
+```
+
+2. Create virtual environment and install dependencies:
+```bash
+python3 -m venv .venv
+source .venv/bin/activate
+pip install -e ".[dev]"
+```
+
+3. Configure environment variables:
+```bash
+cp .env.example .env
+# Edit .env with your Slack tokens and Kagent URL
+```
+
+Required environment variables:
+- `SLACK_BOT_TOKEN`: Bot user OAuth token (xoxb-*)
+- `SLACK_APP_TOKEN`: App-level token for Socket Mode (xapp-*)
+- `SLACK_SIGNING_SECRET`: Signing secret for request verification
+- `KAGENT_BASE_URL`: Kagent API base URL (e.g., http://localhost:8083)
+
+### Running Locally
+
+```bash
+source .venv/bin/activate
+python -m kagent_slackbot.main
+```
+
+The bot will:
+1. Connect to Slack via Socket Mode (WebSocket)
+2. Start health server on port 8080
+3. Discover available agents from Kagent
+4. Begin processing messages
+
+### Slack App Configuration
+
+Your Slack app needs these OAuth scopes:
+- `app_mentions:read` - Receive @mentions
+- `chat:write` - Send messages
+- `commands` - Handle slash commands
+- `reactions:write` - Add emoji reactions
+
+Required features:
+- **Socket Mode**: Enabled (no public HTTP endpoint needed)
+- **Event Subscriptions**: `app_mention`
+- **Slash Commands**: `/agents`, `/agent-switch`
+
+## Usage
+
+### Interacting with Agents
+
+**@mention the bot** with your question:
+```
+@kagent show me failing pods
+```
+
+The bot will:
+1. Extract keywords from your message ("pods" → k8s-agent)
+2. Route to the appropriate agent
+3. Respond with formatted blocks showing:
+   - Which agent responded
+   - Why that agent was selected
+   - Response time and session ID
+
+### Slash Commands
+
+**List available agents**:
+```
+/agents
+```
+
+Shows all agents with:
+- Namespace and name
+- Description
+- Ready status
+
+**Switch to specific agent**:
+```
+/agent-switch kagent/security-agent
+```
+
+All subsequent @mentions will use this agent until you reset.
+
+**Reset to automatic routing**:
+```
+/agent-switch reset
+```
+
+Returns to keyword-based agent selection.

+
+### Type Checking
+
+```bash
+.venv/bin/mypy src/kagent_slackbot/
+```
+
+### Linting
+
+```bash
+.venv/bin/ruff check src/
+```
+
+Auto-fix issues:
+```bash
+.venv/bin/ruff check --fix src/
+```
+
+## Deployment
+
+### Kubernetes
+
+1. Create namespace:
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f manifests/k8s/namespace.yaml
+```
+
+2. Create secrets (update with your tokens):
+```bash
+kubectl create secret generic kagent-slackbot-secrets \
+  --namespace=kagent-slackbot \
+  --from-literal=slack-bot-token=xoxb-... \
+  --from-literal=slack-app-token=xapp-... \
+  --from-literal=slack-signing-secret=...
+```
+
+3. Apply manifests:
+```bash
+kubectl apply -f manifests/k8s/configmap.yaml
+kubectl apply -f manifests/k8s/deployment.yaml
+```
+
+4. Verify deployment:
+```bash
+kubectl get pods -n kagent-slackbot
+kubectl logs -f -n kagent-slackbot deployment/kagent-slackbot
+```
+
+### Monitoring
+
+**Prometheus Metrics** available at `/metrics`:
+- `slack_messages_total{event_type, status}` - Total messages processed
+- `slack_message_duration_seconds{event_type}` - Message processing time
+- `slack_commands_total{command, status}` - Slash command counts
+- `agent_invocations_total{agent, status}` - Agent invocation counts
+
+**Health Endpoints**:
+- `/health` - Liveness probe
+- `/ready` - Readiness probe
+
+**Structured Logs**: JSON format with fields:
+- `event`: Log message
+- `level`: Log level (INFO, ERROR, etc.)
+- `timestamp`: ISO 8601 timestamp
+- `user`, `agent`, `session`: Contextual fields
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Bot doesn't respond to @mentions
+
+1. Check bot is online: `kubectl logs -n kagent-slackbot deployment/kagent-slackbot`
+2. Verify Socket Mode connection is established (look for "Connecting to Slack via Socket Mode")
+3. Ensure Slack app has `app_mentions:read` scope
+4. Check event subscription for `app_mention` is configured
+
+### Agent discovery fails
+
+1. Verify Kagent is accessible: `curl http://kagent.kagent.svc.cluster.local:8083/api/agents`
+2. Check logs for "Agent discovery failed" messages
+3. Ensure `KAGENT_BASE_URL` is configured correctly
+
+### Type errors during development
+
+Run type checking:
+```bash
+.venv/bin/mypy src/kagent_slackbot/
+```
+
+Common issues:
+- Missing type annotations - add explicit types
+- Untyped external libraries - use `# type: ignore[no-untyped-call]`
+
+## Roadmap
+
+### Phase 2: Enhanced UX (Next)
+- Streaming responses for real-time updates
+- Interactive feedback buttons
+- Improved error handling
+
+### Phase 3: RBAC
+- Slack user group integration
+- Agent-level permissions
+- Configuration-driven access control
+
+### Phase 4: Polish
+- Session management commands
+- Usage analytics
+- Advanced features
