Coding at the speed of thought: how I talk to Rovo Dev from Slack

A developer built a ~300-line Python bridge that connects Atlassian's Rovo Dev AI coding agent directly to Slack using Socket Mode — no terminal, no ngrok, no context switching. The key ingredient is `acli rovodev serve`, which spins up a local HTTP server with SSE streaming. The bot only responds to one authorized Slack user and runs as a persistent systemd service.
