| 24 | **Open Claude Tag** is a free, self-hostable AI teammate for Slack that works the way Claude Tag does — one shared agent per channel, persistent memory, skill auto-creation, ambient monitoring — without Anthropic's paywall, without cloud lock-in, without the single-vendor constraint. |
| 25 | |
| 26 | > Most Slack AI bots are personal assistants — one context per user, isolated DMs. Open Claude Tag flips this: **one agent per channel, shared by the whole team.** Everyone sees the same context, picks up mid-thread, and the agent knows who said what. |

| 49 | ## Why Open Claude Tag |
| 50 | |
| 51 | > **On June 23, 2026, Anthropic released Claude Tag** — the first AI that joins Slack as a shared channel teammate rather than a personal DM bot. It went viral. But it stayed closed-source, paid-only, cloud-only, locked to Claude models, and locked to Anthropic's access control model. No self-host, no BYOK for other providers, no custom tool integrations without Anthropic's approval. |
| 52 | |
| 53 | Open Claude Tag is the open-source alternative. Same channel-native mental model, none of the lock-in: |
| 54 | |
| 55 | - 🏢 **Channel-scoped, not user-scoped.** One agent per channel, shared by the whole team. All users see the same context, pick up mid-thread. |
| 56 | - 🤖 **LLM-agnostic.** Use Claude, GPT-4o, Gemini, Groq, or local Ollama. Swap with one env var. Different channels can use different models. |
| 57 | - 💾 **Agent-curated memory.** After each conversation, the agent decides what's worth keeping in `MEMORY.md`. No noisy append-only logs. |
| 58 | - 🧠 **Skill auto-creation.** After complex multi-step tasks, the agent writes a `SKILL.md` capturing what it learned. Institutional knowledge accumulates automatically. |
