At a glance

Help organize and process items in the 00Inbox folder according to the PARA method.

  • Works in 5 steps: Scan the Inbox → Analyze Each Item → Categorization Rules → …
  • The user asks to process
  • SKILL.md covers Task, Output Format and Remember
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Inbox Processor is an agent skill from heyitsnoah/claudesidian. Help organize and process items in the 00Inbox folder according to the PARA method. Use when the user asks to process, clear, sort, triage, or organize their inbox.

Its SKILL.md is about 410 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Productivity & Automation, covering Email management. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to process
  • Organize their inbox

Example prompts

  • “/inbox-processor”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Scan the Inbox
  2. Analyze Each Item
  3. Categorization Rules
  4. Suggest Actions
  5. Identify Patterns

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6c56f35. 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

Inbox Processor loads about 407 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 45 tokens; SKILL.md has 161 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~45
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~407

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.

Inbox Processor

Help organize and process items in the 00_Inbox folder according to the PARA method.

Task

Review all notes in 00_Inbox/ and help categorize them:

  1. Scan the Inbox

    • List all files currently in 00_Inbox
    • Exclude README.md and Welcome.md

  2. Analyze Each Item

    • Read the content
    • Identify the type of note
    • Suggest appropriate destination

  3. Categorization Rules

    • → 01_Projects: Has deadline, specific outcome
    • → 02_Areas: Ongoing responsibility, no end date
    • → 03_Resources: Reference material, knowledge
    • → 04_Archive: Old/completed, no longer active
    • → Delete: No value, redundant, or temporary

  4. Suggest Actions

    File: [filename]
Type: [detected type]
Destination: [suggested folder]
Reason: [why this categorization]
Related to: [any existing notes it connects to]

  5. Identify Patterns

    • Common themes across multiple notes
    • Notes that could be combined
    • Missing connections between items

Output Format

Provide a clear action plan:

  1. Items to move (with destinations)
  2. Items to combine or link
  3. Items to delete
  4. Items needing more context

Remember

  • Some items legitimately belong in the Inbox (daily notes, quick captures)
  • Don't over-organize - sometimes "good enough" is perfect
  • Look for opportunities to connect ideas, not just file them
