Claude reads it as context. `@Claude` in a bot's message doesn't wake a quiet channel; in an active channel Claude may pick it up.

The message goes to the channel's own [session](/docs/claude-tag/concepts/glossary#session), the session Claude works from at the channel's top level. It then answers in a thread under your message, or starts a [working session](/docs/claude-tag/concepts/how-it-works) in that thread when the request needs investigation, tools, or a longer exchange. Once a working session starts, Claude shows an "is thinking…" line under your message. A reaction with no line under it means Claude picked your message up and is either still deciding or answering directly in the thread, not that it missed you. You can change how much Claude replies on its own. You can [quiet a single thread](#quiet-one-conversation), [turn unprompted replies off for a whole channel](#turn-automatic-replies-on-or-off), or [tell Claude which kinds of untagged messages to answer](#what-claude-does-with-a-channel-message).
