What problem does it solve? Processing a cluttered Obsidian inbox with dozens of mixed items (web clippings, voice memos, VTT files, PDF attachments) is slow and error-prone when done one item at a time, and reading all content in a single session overflows the AI's context window. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Unified Inbox Processing: Handles all content types (clippings, transcriptions, VTT files, attachments) in one workflow, routing each item to the correct analyzer based on its type. - Parallel Subagent Architecture: Spawns isolated worker agents in batches of 10 to enrich, analyze, and create notes, keeping the coordinator context under 25k tokens even for 50+ items. - Crash-Resilient Resume: Subagents persist proposals immediately via task metadata, so an interrupted session can resume exactly where it left off. - Collaborative Review Checkpoint: Presents all proposals in a single table where you can accept, edit, or delete items before originals are cleaned up. - Use Case: You return from a week of saving articles, recording voice memos, and clipping tweets. Run the triage skill to process all 50 inbox items, review the proposed areas and projects in one table, and approve cleanup in a single interaction. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to run the triage skill to process everything in your Obsidian inbox, optionally filtering by type such as clippings, voice memos, or a specific filename.

Frequently Asked Questions about triage

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

FAQPage Schema
How do I process all items in my Obsidian inbox at once?

Run the triage skill with no arguments or 'all' to process the full inbox. It scans every item, spawns parallel subagents to enrich and analyze each one, then presents a single review table where you approve, edit, or delete proposals before cleanup.

How does the triage skill handle voice memos and VTT files?

Voice memo transcriptions are analyzed with a sonnet-model subagent for better speaker and meeting classification. VTT files are first converted to transcriptions via a CLI command, requiring a meeting date, then processed like other transcriptions.

What happens if a triage session crashes or is interrupted?

Subagents persist proposals to task metadata immediately after analysis, so completed work survives crashes. Re-running the skill detects the existing session and offers to resume, processing only the still-pending items.

Does the triage skill delete my original inbox files?

Originals are only removed after you approve the review table. Clippings are deleted since content is captured in the new note, while transcriptions are archived to 04 Archives/Transcriptions and never deleted.

Why does the triage coordinator never read file content directly?

Reading 50 items averaging 10k tokens each would overflow the coordinator's context at 500k tokens. All content reading happens inside isolated subagents, so the coordinator only handles small proposals totaling under 25k tokens.

Can I process only certain types of inbox items?

Yes, pass 'clippings', 'voice', or 'attachments' as an argument to filter by type, or provide a specific filename to process a single item. VTT files are converted to transcriptions before processing.
