## Thinking Path > - Paperclip is the open source app people use to manage AI agents for work. > - Slack chat connections let people start and continue agent work from Slack. > - The setup prompt guides an agent through the Paperclip and Slack browser interfaces. > - A live setup completed, but several instructions did not match the current interfaces. > - Those gaps can send users to the wrong connection flow or leave them waiting for controls that do not appear. > - This pull request updates the prompt with the steps observed during the live setup. > - The benefit is a clearer path from a fresh instance to a verified Slack conversation. ## Linked Issues or Issue Description Refs: #13920 and #14862. The first added the Slack conversation flow. The second updated the shared setup prompt control. A search found no duplicate open PR or matching public issue. **Issue type** Outdated instructions and missing setup guidance. **Where is the issue?** `ui/src/pages/apps/chat/SlackSetupPrompt.tsx` **What's wrong?** The prompt omits the Chat connectors setting on fresh instances. It uses an old navigation label. It assumes an avatar crop dialog and a Save button always appear. It also assumes the suggested bot username matches Slack and that the Slack reply contains a task link. **Suggested fix** Use the current labels. Explain the feature prerequisite, avatar save behavior, real mention selection, clipboard recovery, and the path to task and run evidence. ## What Changed - Add the Chat connectors prerequisite and current Connectors, resume, and identity-link labels. - Explain Slack's combined Create and Install action and how to continue from its success page. - Handle avatar uploads that save immediately. Require a reload to confirm the saved icon. - Select the real bot from Slack's mention suggestions, including names with punctuation. - Recover from an empty or stale clipboard without exposing credentials. - Find the linked task through Conversations and inspect the agent's Runs page. ## Verification - `pnpm exec vitest run ui/src/pages/apps/chat/SlackSetupPrompt.test.tsx`: 10 tests passed after rebasing onto current master. - `git diff --check origin/master...HEAD`: passed. - `pnpm build`: passed. - `pnpm -r typecheck`: passed. - `pnpm check:token-gates`: passed. - Full Vitest suite: passed in CI for this commit, including all server, chat, workspace, and serialized test shards. The duplicate local `pnpm test:run` was stopped after CI finished; it did not complete locally. - Current-commit CI: all checks passed, including build, typecheck, E2E, Runner verification, and canary dry run. Greptile rated the change 5/5 with no findings or unresolved review threads. - Live browser test before the wording update: created and installed a new Slack app, verified the callback, uploaded and reopened the avatar, linked the configuring user's identity, and enabled the selected test channel. The first mention received a reply. A follow-up without another mention recalled the first message. Both agent runs succeeded. - The wording update does not repeat Slack app installation. Existing tests verify the complete copied prompt, clipboard fallback, and instance URL handling. - This is a prompt-text refactor. No runtime behavior changes, so the existing tests cover the copied result without a new test that repeats the wording. ## Risks - Low risk. This change updates prompt text in one file. - Provider interfaces can change. The prompt tells the agent to inspect the current page and handle optional controls. - The prompt handles the observed mention mismatch. This change does not alter the generated suggested username. ## Model Used - OpenAI Codex, based on GPT-6, with reasoning, repository tools, code execution, and browser automation. The session does not expose an exact runtime model ID or context window size. The live test also used an earlier model whose exact ID was not exposed. ## Checklist - [x] I have included a thinking path that traces from project context to this change - [x] I have specified the model used (with version and capability details) - [x] I have checked ROADMAP.md and confirmed this PR does not duplicate planned core work - [x] I have searched GitHub for duplicate or related PRs and linked them above - [x] I have either (a) linked existing issues with `Fixes: #` / `Closes #` / `Refs #` OR (b) described the issue in-PR following the relevant issue template - [x] I have not referenced internal/instance-local Paperclip issues or links (only public GitHub `#NNN` / `github.com/paperclipai/paperclip` URLs) - [x] My branch name describes the change (e.g. `docs/...`, `fix/...`) and contains no internal Paperclip ticket id or instance-derived details - [x] I have run tests locally and they pass - [x] I have added or updated tests where applicable - [x] I have updated relevant documentation to reflect my changes - [x] I have considered and documented any risks above - [x] All Paperclip CI gates are green - [x] Greptile is 5/5 with no open P2s, recommendations, or follow-ups - [x] I will address all Greptile and reviewer comments before requesting merge Co-authored-by: Paperclip <noreply@paperclip.ing>

Typical use
Install the package, then serve or copy the built files from node_modules/@paperclipai/ui/dist.
Editor dependency identity
Keep the root and workspace overrides for @codemirror/state,
@codemirror/view, and @lezer/common aligned. CodeMirror requires shared
extension identity, while Lezer parsers and syntax highlighters require shared
NodeProp IDs. Multiple Lezer copies can crash code-block highlighting with
tags is not iterable. src/lib/codemirror-single-instance.test.ts checks the
installed dependency graph and highlights sample code through the editor's real
language dependencies. GitHub Actions owns regeneration of pnpm-lock.yaml.
