Macroscope can stream real-time code activity summaries into Slack channels via /macroscope commands. Subscribe channels to specific repositories or activity types so each team sees only what’s relevant.
To add Macroscope to a channel, type @Macroscope and click Add Them. Use /macroscope help for the full command list, or /macroscope subscriptions to see a channel’s current subscriptions.

​
Commands

  • /macroscope subscribe <repo>: all activity from a repo
  • /macroscope subscribe-commits <repo>: commit summaries only
  • /macroscope subscribe-prs <repo>: PR activity only
  • /macroscope subscribe-build-failures <repo>: build failures only
PR notifications include status emojis: ✅ approved, 💬 commented, 🚀 merged.

​
Path-Based Filters

Add --paths= to any subscribe command to filter to specific parts of a repo. Useful for monorepos.
  • /macroscope subscribe-commits your-repo --paths=/api
  • /macroscope subscribe-prs your-repo --paths=/frontend
  • /macroscope subscribe-prs your-repo --paths=/api,/services (multiple paths)
If a file path has spaces or commas, wrap it in quotes: --paths="/my folder/api" Without --paths=, all activity from the repo is streamed.

​
Linked Issues

Commit summaries display linked Jira and Linear tickets with direct URLs, so you can trace commits back to the work they address.
