SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Inbound peer messages can arrive unsorted, duplicative, or require coordination outside the agent's scope. The inbox skill ensures each message is triaged to a single verb (Delete, Defer, Delegate, or Do) and a visible closing artifact, preventing silent drops and loop noise.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Deterministic triage: read one message from state/input.md, assign a verb, and determine the closing artifact.
  • Downstream workflow loading: load the appropriate skill when the verb requires action (e.g., review, code change, or operator coordination).
  • Noise reduction: detect duplicates and loops, archiving or closing with rationale to maintain inbox coherence.

Quick Start

Process the next inbound message by running the inbox triage flow to read state/input.md, assign a verb, and write a closing artifact to the appropriate output.

FAQPage Schema
How do I triage inbound peer messages to prevent silent drops in an automated workflow?▼

Triage inbound peer messages by reading state/input.md, assigning exactly one verb (Delete, Defer, Delegate, or Do), and writing a visible closing artifact. This deterministic triage prevents silent drops and reduces loop noise.

What is the best way to assign a single action verb to unsorted agent inbox messages?▼

The best way to assign a single action verb to unsorted messages is to run a deterministic triage flow that reads state/input.md, applies one verb, and generates a visible closing artifact to prevent duplicative or uncoordinated peer message handling.

How do I automate message handling to detect duplicate peer messages and reduce loop noise?▼

Automate message handling by detecting duplicates and loops during the triage process, archiving or closing messages with rationale to maintain transport coherence and significantly reduce inbox loop noise.

When do I need a single-verb triage workflow for message handling?▼

You need a single-verb triage workflow for message handling when inbound peer messages arrive unsorted, duplicative, or require coordination outside the agent's scope, ensuring each message gets a visible closing artifact and downstream skills load automatically.

Can I load downstream skills automatically when a triaged message requires action?▼

Yes, you can load downstream skills automatically when a triaged message requires action. The triage flow determines the assigned verb and loads the appropriate skill for tasks like review, code changes, or operator coordination.

How do I record defers, delegates, or deletes to maintain transport coherence during inbox triage?▼

Record defers, delegates, or deletes by applying the assigned verb and writing a visible closing artifact that includes blockers and re-triggers, ensuring transport coherence is maintained throughout the message handling workflow.
