Pattern Decisions This Source Supports
| Pattern | Supported decision | Required contract | Claim note |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mentions | Choose mentions when the interaction begins in prose or rich text and the user needs an inline reference that targets a recipient or audience. | Typing @ opens a suggestion list scoped to the current workspace, channel, object, permission boundary, and caret location. | Slack supports @ member suggestions, multiple mentions, channel and DM notification behavior, private-channel non-delivery, ambiguous display-name selection, and mention activity views. |
