A routing guide for processing raw captures in an Obsidian inbox, a folder where quick notes are collected before they are organized.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to sort inbox notes in batches of up to 20 and identify items that should move to relationship review or note promotion.

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

inbox-triage 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 7d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (validators/post-check.sh, validators/pre-check.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 126 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

inbox-triage

Constraints

  • NEVER scan whole vault; scope = Inbox/ or user-specified path only
  • NEVER write back without explicit user confirmation
  • NEVER produce synthesis or thesis; output is routing decisions only
  • NEVER deep-read all items; deep-read only when routing is genuinely uncertain
  • MAX 20 items per batch; split and report remainder if more

Trigger Boundary

Use when: triage inbox, sort captures, route raw notes, process fleeting notes, decide what to promote/archive.

Do NOT use for:

  • Cross-note relationship analysis → connection-review
  • Week-level meaning extraction → weekly-synthesis
  • Stable note creation → note-promotion
  • Vault health diagnosis → vault-health-feedback

Boundaries

  • Owns: inbox routing, capture classification, shallow-read decisions
  • Delegates to: connection-review (items needing links), note-promotion (items marked promote)
  • Never absorbs: synthesis, health diagnosis, context maintenance, relationship analysis

Continuations

Condition Next skill
Promoted items with link potential > 2 connection-review
Item marked promote-to-note, user confirms note-promotion
Inbox path not found or empty vault-health-feedback
Ambiguous items > 60% of batch Escalate to human

Companion Skill

All vault operations follow obsidian-mcp. Forbidden: obsidian_patch_note, obsidian_append_to_note. Verify every write through readback.

Procedure

Phase 1: Discover

  1. obsidian_list_notes path:"Inbox/" → candidate list
  2. Count items; if >20, process first 20 and report remainder

Phase 2: Shallow Read

  1. For each: obsidian_get_note format:"document-map" → structure
  2. Short notes (<500 words): read as format:"content"
  3. Flag genuinely uncertain items → mark needs-deep-read

Phase 3: Classify

When classifying, read references/examples.md for decision calibration.

Decision Use when
keep-in-inbox Too raw, still incubating
promote-to-note Stable, reusable, independent
promote-to-idea Personal observation worth preserving
move-to-project Mainly useful inside active project
archive-or-ignore Low-density, redundant, stale
needs-deep-read Shallow evidence insufficient, potential value high

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.
