Invoke-ChatOps: Level up and change your culture with chat and PowerShell
summary
A PowerShell‑based bot called PoshBot runs on Slack, installs modules from the gallery, and executes PowerShell functions as background jobs; it snapshots VMs, uploads CSV secrets to DM, and supports role‑based access control, scheduled commands, two‑person approvals, and per‑channel rules. Commands parse real PowerShell AST, accept arrays and integers, show failures from error streams, and use parameter injection for API keys; logs and a JSON flight‑recorder persist history so automation, security, and auditable incidents actually work.
