Commands and your account

There are only a couple of commands to know. Most of the time you won't touch them — you link once and ask questions from then on. They matter when you're setting up, stepping away from a shared machine, or switching accounts.

Signing in

Slack: /corpusiq-login

Starts the link between your Slack identity and your CorpusIQ account. The app sends you a direct message with a link and a code; open it, confirm, and sign in. Full walkthrough in getting-started-slack.md.

Teams: send the app a message.

If you're not linked, Teams shows a Sign in prompt that uses your Microsoft account. Walkthrough in getting-started-teams.md.

You stay linked until you sign out — you don't re-run this before every question.

Signing out

Slack: /corpusiq-logout

Drops the app's link to your CorpusIQ account. After this, the app won't act as you again until you sign back in. Use it when:

  • you're on a shared computer and want to be sure the app isn't still you, or
  • you want to switch to a different CorpusIQ account (sign out, then sign back in as the other one).

The app confirms when you're signed out. If you weren't linked to begin with, it tells you that plainly instead of pretending it did something. If the sign-out doesn't take for any reason, it says so and asks you to try again — it won't claim you're signed out when you aren't.

Teams: the same corpusiq-logout action is available from the app's command menu.

Switching accounts

If you need the app to act as a different CorpusIQ account — say you have a personal one and a shared team one — sign out and back in:

  1. Sign out (/corpusiq-logout in Slack, or the logout action in Teams).
  2. Sign in again and choose the account you want.

There's one active account per person at a time in a workspace. Switching is just sign-out, sign-in.

A note on privacy

The app always acts as the linked person, using their permissions. Signing in doesn't give the app more access than you already have — it reads the same tools you connected, nothing more. Signing out removes the app's ability to act as you until you choose to link again.
