This caused multi-process races, browser tab spam, and inconsistent setup UX across plugins. **As of v<auto>, the architecture is stable**: 2 clean modes (stdio + HTTP), no daemon-bridge layer, no auto-spawn from stdio. > > Apologies for the instability period.

Send messages and upload files to Slack channels using the `slack` CLI. Supports direct messages, channel posts, file uploads, and thread replies.
Bidirectional Telegram bridge — talk to Claude from your phone. Built into OpenPaw.
Discover agents across local node and mesh peers at runtime — their roles, handles, and how to communicate with or delegate to them.
Apply data visualization and storytelling principles from Storytelling with Data by Cole Nussbaumer Knaflic. Covers choosing effective visuals (line, bar, table, scatterplot), eliminating clutter (Gestalt principles, data-ink ratio), focusing attention (preattentive attributes, strategic color), thinking like a designer (affordances, alignment, white space), and narrative structure (three-act story, horizontal/vertical logic, Big Idea). Trigger on "data visualization", "chart design", "dashboard design", "data storytelling", "presentation chart", "declutter chart", "bar chart", "line chart", "data narrative", "slide deck data", "chart review", "viz critique", "storytelling with data".
