Process Inbox

Process accumulated inbox notes through the full pipeline: ingest, enrich, route, connect, link to daily note.

See references/pipeline.md for stage definitions and status flow.

Step 1: Load Configuration

npx @techpickles/sb config default
npx @techpickles/sb config vaults

If no vault configured:

Second brain not configured. Run /second-brain:setup first.

Load skill references:

• second-brain:obsidian for tool mechanics
• references/pipeline.md for stage definitions
• references/routing-memory.md for learning loop
• references/routing.md for scoring algorithm
• references/connecting.md for connection discovery
• references/daily-linking.md for daily note linking
• references/sb-cli.md for sb command reference

Step 2: Survey Inbox

npx @techpickles/sb inbox list --detail

Parse the JSON response. Group notes by status field (notes without status are raw).

Check for stale notes (captured more than 14 days ago based on captured frontmatter field).

Present summary:

Inbox: {total} notes
  {n} raw (session notes awaiting ingestion)
  {n} ingested (insights awaiting enrichment)
  {n} enriched (notes awaiting routing)
  {n} pending-review (need your input)
  {n} routed (awaiting connection)
  {n} connected (awaiting daily linking)

{If stale notes exist:}
  Heads up: {n} notes have been in the inbox for over 2 weeks.

If inbox is empty:

Inbox is empty. Nothing to process.

Step 3: Process by Stage

Work through notes in pipeline order. Each stage picks up notes at its expected input status.

3a: Ingest raw session notes

For each note with status: raw and type: session-notes:

• Follow the ingest skill (keeps the note whole by default, only splits on a real cross-topic signal)
• Report: Ingested: {session filename} (default case), or Ingested: {session filename} -> {n} insights (split) (exception case)

3b: Enrich ingested insights

For each note with status: ingested and type: insight:

• Follow the enrich skill to create proper zettelkasten notes
• Report: Enriched: {filename}
