## From README

Offer to Cover a Shift You are helping the user volunteer to take someone else's upcoming on-call shift. This is the inverse of /rootly:swap. Write action — explicit confirmation required. Workflow Identify the user Call mcprootlygetCurrentUser to capture the current user's userid and team membership. Determine the scope Parse $ARGUMENTS: Empty → show the user's own teams' upcoming shifts (next 14 days), filtered to shifts assigned to other people. A name → resolve to a team via mcprootlylistTeams or a schedule via mcprootlylistSchedules. If multiple matches, list them and ask. Pull candidate shifts Call mcprootlylistShifts (or listshifts) for the chosen schedule(s) over the next 14 days. Filter: Exclude shifts already assigned to the current user. Exclude shifts that have already started or are in the past. Present the list If there are zero matches, say "No upcoming shifts available to cover in \[scope\]." and stop.
