Use Bearer token with JWT. There's a guide in the wiki.

Hey Keith! Quick question — what auth method should I use for the /users endpoint? I was thinking Bearer tokens.

Good instinct! Yes, use Bearer token with JWT. Here's the wiki guide: wiki.internal/auth-guide

Why this matters in 2026

Context-first communication is more important than ever.

🌍

Time zones are real

A complete message means teammates can answer when they see it — no back-and-forth waiting.

⚡

Async beats sync

The best remote teams leave complete messages so work flows 24/7 across the globe.

📱

Every ping costs attention

A "Hi" notification interrupts someone's flow for nothing. Make every ping count.

🔍

Searchable history

Complete messages are findable later. "Hi" followed by fragments is impossible to search.
