Spec Answer with Confidence Gate and Escalation
Responds to a Slack slash command by retrieving Dropbox spec context and answering.

What it does
Answers ad-hoc spec questions invoked via a Slack slash command, but adds a quality gate. It scores how well the retrieved Dropbox spec passages cover the question. High-coverage questions get an immediate grounded answer; low-coverage questions are escalated to the human on-call channel so nobody gets a confidently wrong reply.
When to use it
Use it when hallucinated answers carry real risk and you want the bot to know its limits. Good for teams that want self-serve spec lookup without the assistant fabricating behavior the docs don't actually describe.
How it works
- 1An engineer runs a `/spec` slash command in Slack with their question.
- 2The question is embedded and matched against the spec index in Postgres, returning passages and similarity scores.
- 3A logic gate checks whether retrieval coverage clears a confidence threshold.
- 4If confident, OpenAI generates a grounded, cited answer returned to the requester.
- 5If not, the workflow escalates the raw question to the human on-call Slack channel.
