Atlarix 15.15 is out today. Atlarix is an AI coding agent by NorahLabs that plans, edits, runs and reviews code in your own projects, and it asks before it changes a file. This release connects Slack: one sign-in and the agent can read, search and post in your workspace as you. MCP sign-in now works from every surface, project memory stays inside its project, and scheduled wake-ups show up where you can cancel them. Here is what changed and how to get it.
Slack is now in the Verified part of Atlarix's MCP list. Open the list (in the desktop app, Integrations → MCP; in the CLI, /mcp; in VS Code, the MCP servers command), pick Slack and press Connect. Your browser opens, you sign in to Atlarix if it asks, choose your workspace and allow it on Slack's page. That's the whole setup: no app to create, no token to copy.
Once connected, the agent has six Slack tools:
So you can ask things like "summarise what the team said about the release in #general today" or "reply in that thread that the fix is on dev", from the same chat where the agent is working on your code. Step-by-step instructions are in Connect Slack in Atlarix.
The agent acts as you, in the workspace you picked, and sees only what you can see in Slack. Connecting installs the Atlarix Slack app in that workspace, and your Slack sign-in is stored encrypted on Atlarix's servers. It works in the desktop app, the CLI, VS Code and the editors that speak the Agent Client Protocol, such as Zed and JetBrains. Connecting Slack is free on every plan.
To ask @Atlarix for work inside Slack itself, rather than reaching Slack from Atlarix, see Atlarix in Slack.
MCP servers that sign in with OAuth now open their sign-in page in your browser from the CLI, Zed and JetBrains, not only from the desktop app. The CLI tells you when a sign-in worked, and why when it didn't.
A few rough edges are gone too. Retrying a sign-in you abandoned starts a fresh one, where it used to refuse with "already in progress". The page you land on after signing in no longer claims the tab will close by itself. An optional token box no longer stands in front of the sign-in button. And a connection added to your Atlarix account is now bound to your account and your browser while it signs in. How MCP works in Atlarix is in MCP servers.
Atlarix keeps notes per project, so a session remembers what matters about the code it's working on. In 15.15 a session reads, lists and searches only its own project's memory, whether it uses its file tools or a shell command, on macOS and on Linux. Reading the memory file before any note exists says so, where it used to show an error.
A message also never waits for memory recall any more. The turn starts at once, and a note found a moment later joins the next step.
Commands the agent runs go through a sandbox. The Linux CLI now carries its sandbox helper inside the binary, so a CLI installed with the one-line installer or npm has it too. On Ubuntu releases that block the fallback sandbox, Atlarix says the sandbox isn't available, where it used to fail the command.
The agent can schedule itself to come back to a task later. Those wake-ups are now listed in Automations in the desktop app, and in the CLI status line, each with a Cancel button.
When you press Stop in the middle of a tool call, that call now reads "Stopped" (the CLI says "interrupted"). It used to look as if it had finished.
/compact and shows the right size when you reopen a session.
The desktop app and the CLI update themselves to 15.15 (a Linux .deb or .rpm takes the new package from the downloads page). To install fresh:
curl -fsSL https://atlarix.dev/install | sh
irm https://atlarix.dev/install.ps1 | iex
npm install -g atlarix
The app, the CLI and the editor extension share one account, so a chat started in one is there in the others. New to Atlarix? Start with Getting started.
15.15 brings your team's conversation into the same place as your code: connect Slack once and the agent can read it, search it and answer in it. The full list of changes is in the changelog.
How do I connect Slack to an AI coding agent?
In Atlarix, open the MCP list, pick Slack (Verified) and press Connect. Sign in in your browser and allow it on Slack's page. The agent can then list channels and direct messages, read threads, search and post as you, in the desktop app, the CLI and your editor.
Does Atlarix post to Slack as me?
Yes. The Slack connection acts as you and sees only what you can see in Slack. It posts a message or a reply when you ask it to.
Is the Atlarix Slack connection free?
Yes. Connecting Slack is free on every Atlarix plan.
How do I update to Atlarix 15.15?
The desktop app and the CLI update themselves. For a fresh install, download the app from atlarix.dev, run the one-line installer or npm install -g atlarix for the CLI, or install "Atlarix" from the VS Code Marketplace or Open VSX.
