What it does
Mex Inbox is an agent skill from BenCodez/VotingPlugin. Draft and review contributions to existing MEX project knowledge. Use when the user asks to capture a discussion or decision in project knowledge, propose an addition or correction for team review, or explicitly invokes /mex-inbox or $mex-inbox. Also supports existing Spec proposals. Do not activate for brainstorming alone, routine GROW upkeep, email inboxes, session logs, or handoffs.
Its SKILL.md is about 1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `.mex-managed.json`, `agents/openai.yaml` and `references/cli-workflows.md`).
It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Email management.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks to capture a discussion
- Decision in project knowledge
- Propose an addition
- Correction for team review
Example prompts
- “/mex-inbox”
Workflow steps
8 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Distill what future agents or teammates need to know from the user's request and discussion.
- Search existing knowledge first. Prefer correcting or extending the relevant record or section when it already covers the subject; create…
- Read the exact target and current revisions before drafting a correction. Preserve unrelated knowledge when replacing its body. Never…
- Preserve useful files, code, commits, entities, and external links as evidence only when actually available. Never invent provenance…
- Build one request against the action-scoped runtime contract.
- Run the exact preview flow and summarize the human effect before technical details.
- When the user already asked to create, save, or draft it, apply that exact successful checkout-local draft preview without asking again.
- Return /inbox?view=drafts&draft= and state that the draft is checkout-local, nothing was published or shared, and review or publication…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 834bcb8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Mex Inbox loads about 1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 100 tokens; SKILL.md has 518 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 518 words (~1,032 tokens).
“Turn an explicit request to retain project knowledge into a focused contribution for review. Inbox proposals are review artifacts; accepted knowledge belongs in the existing Wiki Markdown. Ordinary GROW upkeep can continue directly.”
