Developer heads-up
A small fix, sent privately.
Rafael gets one concise suggestion with the source linked. He can resolve it before it becomes management work.
Unresolved items can escalate later
AI-assisted engineering management
Keep work moving. Skip the status chase.
ShakaFlow finds the few engineering issues that need a human decision, gives developers the first nudge, and escalates only what stays stuck.
Free during early access. Works on free Slack plans. Bring your own Anthropic or OpenAI key.

ShakaFlow watches GitHub and your tracker, then alerts the right person in Slack.
How is this calculated?
We estimate 30 minutes per developer each week for checking work and chasing context, plus one hour per manager for consolidating updates. ShakaFlow is estimated to reduce that work by 35%.
For task speed, we assume 40% of delivery time is spent waiting on reviews, blockers, or context. Reducing that waiting by 35% gives a 14% modeled improvement.
Estimate only. Actual results depend on your workflow.
A deliberate escalation path
Developers first. Managers only when needed.
ShakaFlow gives the person closest to the work a chance to clear it. If the issue remains, the manager gets the context and a ready next step.

Manager escalation
The same item, now with actions.
Rafael did not clear it, so it reaches Alex with the reason it matters and the follow-up already addressed.
One button per item, addressed to one person
If it clears
Nothing else is sent. Quiet is the success state.
If it stays stuck
The manager sees the history, owner, and reason it matters.
If action is needed
A follow-up is ready to send, or a tracker fix is ready to approve.
Multiple managers, one team
Add the managers who oversee your team. Each receives Team Anomalies in Slack. When one sends a follow-up, the others see who asked, so everyone knows what is already being handled.

Actionable conversations
From signal to human follow-through
Review an editable draft, send it to the right person, and include ShakaFlow so later replies inform the next follow-up. You stay in control of the conversation.
Or fix it without leaving Slack.
Some items need a board update, not a conversation. A task still In Progress after its PR merged gets a one-click fix, and nothing changes in your tracker until someone approves it.

MCP for your agents
ShakaFlow MCP
Ask your team data directly.
Connect ShakaFlow's MCP server once. Claude and Codex can then answer from the Slack, GitHub, and project context your team already maintains, without copying status into a prompt.
- Ask in plain language from the agent you already use.
- See the source tool called for each answer.
- Continue into a follow-up without rebuilding context.

Frequently asked questions
OpenClaw, Claude, and Codex are general-purpose agents you prompt and configure.
ShakaFlow is a ready-to-use engineering workflow in Slack: it watches connected tools, finds stuck work, and provides buttons, modals, and prepared follow-ups without requiring each manager or developer to maintain an agent.
Claude and Codex can still use the same team context through ShakaFlow MCP.
Traffic is encrypted, credentials are encrypted at rest, and production access is restricted and logged. We never train models on your data, and you can use your own AI provider key.
Only after a person approves it. When a Cleanup item has an obvious fix, like a task still In Progress after its PR merged, ShakaFlow offers it as a button. Clicking it shows exactly what will change, and nothing is written until you approve.
A fix can only update the task the item is about or add a comment to it, in Shortcut, Linear, or Jira. ShakaFlow never touches your code or pull requests. If you trust the suggestions, you can turn on auto-approve for 30 days.
It is free during early access while we shape the product and pricing with beta teams.
Yes. Everything except Slack's split view works on a free Slack plan, so you can trial ShakaFlow in a test workspace before you connect real team data.
Split view docks the assistant in a panel next to your channels, and Slack limits that panel to paid workspaces. On a free plan, keep ShakaFlow open in a browser window beside Slack to get the same layout.
Yes. You can try ShakaFlow on your own infrastructure, and our team can install it for you. You can also modify the code for your deployment.
No. Think of it as an exoskeleton rather than a stand-in: it does the status gathering and drafts the follow-up so a manager covers more ground in less time. Every decision, and every message that goes out, stays with a person.
Slack setup takes minutes. In a short demo, we will help you choose the first workflow worth automating.

Talk to the team behind ShakaFlow
ShakaCode is a development consultancy for Rails and React teams. We built ShakaFlow to keep our own distributed work moving, and we do this kind of work for clients.
- Open source we maintain. React on Rails and Shakapacker, used by Rails teams to ship React in production.
- Web performance. We profile slow Rails and React apps, fix Core Web Vitals, and keep the gains from regressing.
- AI in your product and delivery. ShakaFlow is one example. We also build AI features into client apps and into how their teams ship.

See what ShakaCode doesAI disclaimer
ShakaFlow is powered by large language models. Team Anomalies, Daily Suggestions, activity summaries, 1:1 prep, and agent replies can be inaccurate, incomplete, or out of date. Verify important information against the source and use your own judgment before acting. ShakaFlow assists managers; it does not make decisions for them.
Works on free Slack plans
You can run ShakaFlow on a free Slack workspace, including a test workspace you set up to try it before connecting real team data. Team Anomalies, Daily Suggestions, check-ins, summaries, metrics, and optional hours reporting all work there.
One surface is the exception: Slack's split view, which docks the ShakaFlow assistant in a panel beside your channels, is available only on paid Slack workspaces because Slack limits that panel to them. On a free plan, open ShakaFlow in a browser window next to Slack for the same side-by-side view.
