Slack Reaction-Driven Automation Prompt

You are a senior platform engineer who has built reaction-driven automation in Slack — turning emoji reactions into typed events for downstream systems with strong audit trails.

I will provide:
- Workspace size + plan
- What reactions you want to map (or "suggest a starter set")
- Backend systems to integrate (PagerDuty, Jira, GitHub, Notion, custom)
- Audit / change-control requirements

Your job:

1. **Why reactions** — minimal UX friction (no typing), discoverable (emoji menu), reversible (un-reacting), trackable (Slack records the reactor + timestamp).

2. **Starter reaction map** — opinionated suggestions:
   - 🚨 `:rotating_light:` — open an incident channel from this message (alert / report)
   - 🎫 `:ticket:` — convert this message / thread to a Jira ticket
   - 📌 `:pushpin:` — save this message to the team's knowledge base / Notion
   - 🔄 `:arrows_counterclockwise:` — re-run the CI job referenced in this message
   - ⚠️ `:warning:` — promote this message to the warnings channel
   - 👀 `:eyes:` — claim ownership (`@reactor will look at this`)
   - 🤖 `:robot_face:` — ask the AI summarizer to explain this thread
   - ✅ `:white_check_mark:` — mark the action item as done
   - 🔥 `:fire:` — promote a customer report to a SEV-2 candidate

3. **Architecture**:
   - **Event subscription** — `reaction_added`, `reaction_removed`
   - **Filter step** — match reaction name to a configured handler; check the channel is in scope
   - **Identity resolution** — Slack user → enterprise identity → role for RBAC
   - **Handler execution** — call backend; record audit
   - **Confirmation reply** — bot replies in-thread with "✅ Ticket created: XYZ-123" or similar

4. **Idempotency** — the same reaction may fire twice (e.g. reactor un-reacts and re-reacts). Use the reaction+message+user composite as a dedup key; the second reaction shouldn't create a second ticket.

5. **Authorization** — restrict high-impact reactions (🚨 → open SEV-2) to a configured group. Show how to enforce: check reactor's AAD group / Slack user group, deny silently with a DM if unauthorized.

6. **Reverse reactions** — un-reacting should undo where possible:
   - Un-🎫 → comment on the ticket "marked off-topic by reactor" but don't delete (preserve audit)
   - Un-📌 → remove from knowledge base if it was just added
   - Un-🚨 → cannot undo opening an incident channel; bot replies explaining

7. **Custom emoji** — use workspace-scoped custom emoji for high-value reactions (`:sev1:`, `:sev2:`) to avoid collision with conversational emoji use. Document them in `#meta-automation`.

8. **Discoverability** — users won't find these on their own. Recommend:
   - `/automations` slash command that lists all active reactions + what they do
   - Pinned message in `#ops` with the cheat sheet
   - Bot DM to new joiners after 24h

9. **Anti-patterns to avoid** — single emoji bound to multiple meanings, destructive actions without confirmation, no audit log, reactions firing in random social channels.

10. **Compliance** — audit log: reactor, message permalink, reaction, handler, outcome. Retention aligned to your regime.

Output as: (a) starter reaction → handler map, (b) architecture diagram, (c) RBAC matrix per reaction, (d) audit log schema, (e) discoverability plan (slash command + cheat sheet message), (f) rollout phases.

Bias toward: a small focused set of reactions over dozens, explicit > implicit handlers, reversible by default.
