Remote Questions

Remote questions let SF ask for your input via Slack, Discord, or Telegram when running in headless autonomous mode. When SF needs a decision, it posts the question to your configured channel and polls for a response.

Setup

Discord

/sf remote discord

The wizard prompts for your bot token, validates it, lets you pick a server and channel, sends a test message, and saves the config.

Bot requirements:

  • A bot application with a token from the Discord Developer Portal
  • Bot invited to the server with: Send Messages, Read Message History, Add Reactions, View Channel
  • DISCORD_BOT_TOKEN environment variable set

Slack

/sf remote slack

Bot requirements:

  • A Slack app with a bot token (xoxb-...) from Slack API
  • Bot invited to the target channel
  • Scopes: chat:write, reactions:read, reactions:write, channels:read, groups:read, channels:history, groups:history

Telegram

/sf remote telegram

Bot requirements:

  • A bot token from @BotFather
  • Bot added to the target group chat
  • TELEGRAM_BOT_TOKEN environment variable set

Configuration

remote_questions:
  channel: discord          # or slack or telegram
  channel_id: "1234567890123456789"
  timeout_minutes: 5        # 1-30, default 5
  poll_interval_seconds: 5  # 2-30, default 5

How It Works

  1. SF encounters a decision point during auto mode
  2. The question is posted to your channel as a rich message
  3. SF polls for a response at the configured interval
  4. You respond by:
    • Reacting with a number emoji (1️⃣, 2️⃣, etc.) for single-question prompts
    • Replying with a number, comma-separated numbers, or free text
  5. SF picks up the response and continues
  6. A ✅ reaction confirms receipt

Response Formats

Single question: React with a number emoji, reply with a number, or reply with free text.

Multiple questions: Reply with semicolons (1;2;custom text) or newlines (one answer per line).

Timeouts

If no response arrives within timeout_minutes, SF continues with a timeout result — typically making a conservative default choice.

Troubleshooting

Problem Fix
"Remote auth failed" Verify bot token is correct and not expired
"Could not send to channel" Check bot has Send Messages permission; invite bot to channel
No response detected Make sure you're replying to the prompt message, not posting a new one
