🐛 bugsniffer

AI-powered Slack bot that sniffs out bug reports from a feedback channel and auto-creates Notion tickets — so your team can stop playing ticket secretary.

How it works

1. Watches #surface_product_feedback in Slack (via Socket Mode — always on, no webhooks)
2. Sends each new message to Claude to classify: is it a bug? is there enough detail?
3. If yes → creates a ticket in the Notion Bug Tracker with title, status, and a link back to the Slack thread
4. Posts a :bug: confirmation reply in-thread

Feature requests, design feedback, and vague "stuff is broken" messages get ignored.
