What it does

Inbox is an agent skill from kv0906/pm-kit. Quick capture mode (with content) or batch processing mode (no content). GTD-style routing of inbox items to proper folders. Use "/inbox thought to capture" or "/inbox" to process.

Its SKILL.md is about 620 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 repository describes itself as: AI-augmented PM workspace for Coding Agents — daily standups, decisions, blockers, docs, and sprint reviews as markdown skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Email management

Example prompts

  • “/inbox thought to capture”
  • “/inbox”
  • “/inbox”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Read, Write, Edit, Glob, Grep, TaskCreate, TaskUpdate, TaskList, TaskGet

Workflow steps

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

  1. Auto-detect
  2. Create Inbox Note
  3. Append to Vault Log
  4. Output

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2cb5d9f. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Read
    • Write
    • Edit
    • Glob
    • Grep
    • TaskCreate
    • TaskUpdate
    • TaskList
    • TaskGet

    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 loads about 623 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 171 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~623

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.

    • Status: unprocessed
  3. Append to Vault Log

    • Append entry to 01-index/_vault-log.md (see .claude/rules/vault-log.md)
    • Action: inbox-capture
    • Details: what was captured and detected type
  4. Output

    Captured to: 00-inbox/{filename}
    Detected: {project} / {type}
    Process later with: /inbox

Process Mode (no content)

Use session tasks for batch visibility:

TaskCreate: "Scan and classify inbox items"
  activeForm: "Scanning inbox..."

TaskCreate: "Route items to destinations"
  activeForm: "Routing inbox items..."
  1. Scan Inbox

    • List all .md files in 00-inbox/
    • Read and classify each
  2. Present Plan

    ## Processing Plan
    
    | # | Content Preview | Type | Project | Action |
    |---|-----------------|------|---------|--------|
    | 1 | "Shipped login..." | daily | project-a | Update daily |
    | 2 | "Blocked on API..." | blocker | project-a | Create blocker |
    
    Proceed? (y/n/edit)
  3. Route Items

    • For each confirmed item:
      • Route to appropriate handler (/daily, /block, /decide, etc.)
    • Mark processed inbox files
  4. Append to Vault Log

    • Append one inbox-route entry per batch to 01-index/_vault-log.md (see .claude/rules/vault-log.md)
    • Details: count of items routed and their types
  5. Output

    Processed: {count} items
    - Daily updates: {count}
    - Blockers: {count}
    - Decisions: {count}
