pm-inbox

pm-inbox is a skill for Claude Code from Hank95/mdpm. It costs 14 tokens per session (752 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided command for reviewing untriaged requests in a task inbox. Triage means deciding whether each incoming item should be accepted, started, planned, rejected, postponed, or assigned.

In plain words
What is it for?
For reviewing new requests, setting their priority and tags, moving them into active or backlog work, planning larger items, or postponing them.
Why use it?
It turns an unorganised list of incoming requests into deliberate project decisions, one item at a time.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

pm-inbox scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 6d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 58 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/pm-inbox

Walk through tasks/inbox/ one item at a time and decide what to do with each.

Steps

  1. List inbox contents.

    • If tasks/inbox/ is empty or missing, say so and exit. Optionally, offer to pull new items from Jira/Wrike via /pm-sync-jira or /pm-sync-wrike.
  2. Sort inbox by created date ascending (oldest first — stop things from rotting).

  3. For each item, show this summary to the user:

    ## Inbox item 1 of N: [PRJ-INBOX-003] Short title
    Source: <from jira_id or wrike_id if present, else "direct">
    Created: YYYY-MM-DD
    
    <Objective section, truncated to ~3 lines>
    
    **Triage options:**
    a) Accept → move to backlog (set priority, tags, due)
    b) Start now → move directly to active
    c) Plan → run /pm-plan to decompose
    d) Reject → delete (or archive if synced to Jira/Wrike)
    e) Snooze → leave in inbox, move on
    f) Delegate → set assigned_to and leave in backlog
    
  4. Process the user's choice:

    • Accept: Ask for priority (default medium), tags, optional due date. Update frontmatter. Assign a real task ID (replace any PRJ-INBOX-* placeholder with the next sequential PRJ-XXX). Rename the file to <new-id>-<slug>.md to match the MDPM filename convention. Move to tasks/backlog/.
    • Start now: Same as Accept (including the filename rename), but move to tasks/active/ and set status: active. Append work log entry: "Triaged from inbox, started work."
    • Plan: Keep the inbox file in place, invoke /pm-plan logic on its contents. After planning, move the original inbox item to done/ with a work log entry "Replaced by decomposition into PRJ-XXX, PRJ-YYY."
    • Reject: Confirm with the user. If the task has a jira_id or wrike_id, offer to close it in the external system via sync. Then delete the file (inbox is the ONLY directory where deletion is allowed).
    • Snooze: No change. Move to next item.
    • Delegate: Ask for assignee name, set assigned_to, move to tasks/backlog/.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
