inbox

An inbox-triage tool for a note vault: it groups notes by topic, assesses their maturity, promotes suitable notes, and identifies notes that need a decision.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to process inbox notes, review unresolved notes, promote mature notes, and find old or already-promoted fleeting notes to archive.
Why use it?
It turns a pile of unprocessed notes into clearer groups and next steps, while requiring approval for merges, deletions, and archiving.

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 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 2d 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.

Inbox: Batch Triage and Processing

Overview

Launches the inbox-organiser agent to process all notes in 0-inbox/. The agent clusters by topic, assesses maturity via the promote-gate skill, detects counter-arguments, and executes promotions autonomously. Merges, deletes, and fleeting archival require approval.

When to Use

  • Inbox has accumulated notes that need triage
  • After a series of /reflect sessions that deposited notes
  • When the user asks to clean up, process, or triage the inbox

Provenance

This skill emits provenance events for pipeline observability. Run each Bash command silently.

At session start:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/provenance-emit.js" '{"agent":"inbox","skill":"inbox","action":"session-start"}'

At session end:

node "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/scripts/provenance-emit.js" '{"agent":"inbox","skill":"inbox","action":"session-end","promoted":N,"deleted":N,"merged":N,"rewrites":N,"limbo":N}'

Per-note tracking is automatic for main-thread writes via the PostToolUse hook; subagent writes and edits (note-writer files, the organiser's own Edits and mv-promotions) bypass it and are covered by the Step 2 hook replays (2a for note-writer output, 2c for the agent's touched-files inventory).

Process

Step 1: Launch Agent

Launch the inbox-organiser agent with:

  • vault_path: {{VAULT}}/
  • scope: all (or topic:<name> if the user specified a topic filter)

The agent definition is at ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/agents/inbox-organiser.md (resolve to a literal path before dispatch — see agents-shared/vault-io.md → Placeholders).

Use subagent_type: "learning-loop:inbox-organiser" with the full prompt from the agent definition, or launch as a general-purpose agent that reads the agent file.

Step 1.5: Surface Librarian Observations for Inbox Notes

While the inbox-organiser agent runs (this check is independent of its output), check the librarian queue for pending observations targeting inbox notes.

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.

inbox is a skill published in the GitHub repository robinslange/learning-loop (11 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 2,504 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
