inbox-process

inbox-process is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from the-sid-dani/second-brain-os. It costs 118 tokens per session (3,945 once invoked), scanned C, original, MIT.

A confirmation-based workflow for sorting an Inbox, misplaced workspace files, and loose files on a Mac Desktop or in Downloads. It also finds project folders missing CLAUDE.md, a configuration file used by the workflow.

In plain words
What is it for?
Processing an Inbox, checking the workspace root, organizing Desktop or Downloads files, reviewing unstructured project folders, and confirming cleanup actions.
Why use it?
It prevents captured or misplaced files from accumulating and requires confirmation before moving items or deleting anything.

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 C, and why

inbox-process scanned grade C with 1 finding 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 4d 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.

Recursive force deletehighDestructive command

rm -rf with a variable or a broad path is one typo away from removing the wrong tree.

If `yes`: `rm -rf <path>` (folders need `-r`).

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 278 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

inbox-process

One intake surface for four related cleanup jobs: Inbox triage, unmigrated Projects triage, workspace-root audit, and a loose-file sweep of Desktop or Downloads. Every mode is propose-and-confirm; deletion receives its own explicit confirmation.

Before you begin: read the Configuration section in root CLAUDE.md. Path tokens like <workspace.inbox> resolve to whatever's defined there.

Why this exists

Two graveyard surfaces share the same triage shape:

  1. 0-Inbox/ — capture zone. Items land fast (drag-drop, Drive download, paste). Without periodic triage, it graveyards. Research (§2 constraint #1) is unambiguous: surviving systems either skip Inbox entirely or have a discipline for clearing it. <user.name> kept Inbox per their README, so we need the discipline as a skill.

  2. Unmigrated 1-Projects/<slug>/ folders (those missing CLAUDE.md) — folders placed in Projects without going through /new-project. Same disease: stuff dropped into the wrong location, never properly scaffolded, slowly accumulating. The workflow defect surfaced 2026-05-06 (9 of 12 Projects folders had no CLAUDE.md). Per SOUL Operating Principle "Capture before commit," these belonged in 0-Inbox/ until a deliberate decision to promote them — but absent a triage flow, they sat in 1-Projects/ unscaffolded.

These surfaces share the same triage flow: list candidates, inspect enough to route safely, show the full plan, confirm, then act. /prune-projects handles the next lifecycle stage (scaffolded projects that have gone stale).

/save-resource handles individual save-this-now operations. /inbox-process is the iteration wrapper that goes through everything weekly across both surfaces.

When to use

Trigger phrases (broad — over-trigger rather than miss):

  • "process inbox" / "process my inbox"
  • "Friday inbox review" / "Friday inbox" / "Friday cleanup"
  • "what's in inbox?" / "what's in my inbox?"
  • "clear my inbox" / "clean up inbox"
  • "triage inbox" / "go through inbox"
  • "inbox-process" / "/inbox-process"
  • "clean up root" / "tidy the workspace root" / "what shouldn't be in root?"
  • "organize my desktop" / "sort my screenshots" / "clean up downloads"

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
