# NousResearch/hermes-agent · Slack @mention detection in Block Kit content

## Open now

- Nothing open on GitHub.

These members share one theme: Slack mention detection reportedly checks only flat top-level text, so @mentions that appear only in Block Kit blocks (and possibly attachments) may be missed. One is a bug report and the others are fix proposals touching the bot filter, router, and thread context extraction.

## TL;DR

- 4 member(s): 0 open issue(s), 1 closed issue(s), 0 open PR(s), 1 merged PR(s), 2 PR(s) closed without merging.
- A fix was merged to main in PR #69316. Verify it addresses your case.
- **Recommended:** read PR #69316 (and any competing PRs below) before filing. Confirm the merged change covers your symptom.

## Maintainer resolution verdict

- Internal-tracker verdict over this cluster's issue members: `unresolved`. This is distinct from the fix status above. Weigh it yourself.

## How this cluster was grouped

- Link evidence (`STRUCTURAL_SPANNING`): every member is connected by structural evidence: shared changed files, or a closing/superseded reference.
- Pairwise link density `0.50`: the share of member pairs that carry a link, counting a structural link in full and a relevance-only link at 0.36. `1.00` means every pair is linked.

## Closed / duplicate issues

- #52387: \[Bug\]: Slack mention detection (allow_bots=mentions, is_mentioned, require_mention) only inspects flat top-level text, so @mentions present only in Block Kit blocks are silently dropped
