SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the initial triage of new files arriving in 03_Inbox/ by scanning for unrouted items and generating routing suggestions, reducing manual review and speeding up routing decisions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Inbox scanning: Enumerates files in 03_Inbox/, reads content previews, and classifies items by type (document, transcript, screenshot, data).
  • Routing suggestions: Groups files by recommended destination walnuts and presents a concise summary to the user for quick approval.
  • Safety and constraints: Enforces output limits (max 10 per notification), flags aged content, and supports deferred routing until explicit user confirmation.

Quick Start

Start the inbox cron to begin scanning 03_Inbox/ and generating routing suggestions.

Frequently Asked Questions about alive-inbox

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate inbox triage for unprocessed files?▼

Automate inbox triage by scanning the 03_Inbox directory to classify unprocessed files and generate routing suggestions. The system groups items by recommended destinations and presents a summary for quick user approval before moving anything.

Can I batch process files in my inbox for routing suggestions?▼

Yes, batch processing inbox files is supported. The system enumerates unrouted items, reads content previews, and classifies them by type before grouping them into destination recommendations, capping notifications at ten files per summary for review.

How does file routing handle an empty inbox directory?▼

When the inbox directory is empty, the routing automation outputs a silent status and takes no further action. This prevents unnecessary notifications when there are no unprocessed files requiring triage or routing suggestions.

What happens to unprocessed files older than 48 hours in the inbox?▼

Unprocessed files older than 48 hours are flagged during inbox scanning. This aging mechanism highlights stale content in the routing suggestions summary so users can prioritize clearing delayed items from the inbox.

Does the inbox routing automation move files without user approval?▼

No, explicit user approval is required before moving any files. The automation generates routing suggestions and defers all file movements until the user confirms the proposed destination classifications.

What types of files can be classified for routing suggestions?▼

The inbox scanner classifies content by type, identifying documents, transcripts, screenshots, and data files. It reads content previews from the 03_Inbox directory to recommend appropriate destination routing for each classified item.
