/claude-memory:triage-inbox

Propose one action per note in 00-inbox/ and execute approved actions.

Workflow

1. List inbox

ls "${CLAUDE_VAULT:-$HOME/obsidian-vault}/00-inbox/"

If empty, report "Inbox empty — nothing to triage." and exit.

2. Read each note's head

For each file, read first 20 lines (frontmatter + opening prose) to classify.

3. Propose one action per note

Allowed actions:

• Promote — move to the correct curated folder (based on type or inferred topic), upgrade capture-tier frontmatter to curated-tier. Rename to YYYY-MM-DD-slug.md if not already in that shape.
• Merge — combine with an existing vault note on the same topic. Use git mv.
• Link — leave in inbox but add missing [[wikilinks]] (no move).
• Discard — delete via git rm. Reasons: stale, superseded, noise, duplicate.

Challenge each proposal:

• Does this contradict an existing vault note?
• Is the confidence level still accurate?
• Has this been superseded?

4. Present for batch approval

Table: file | action | target (if move) | rationale. Ask: "Execute all as shown? (yes / edit / skip)". edit drops to per-item.

5. Execute approved actions

Use git mv for moves (preserves history). Use git rm for discards.

6. Commit

Stage the specific files moved/deleted (no git add -A). Commit:

git commit -m "vault: triage — <N> promoted, <M> merged, <K> discarded"

7. Report

Summarize: counts by action, any contradictions found, remaining inbox size.
