Logseq Inbox Capture (File Graph)
This skill formats user input into paste-ready Logseq blocks for a dedicated [[inbox]] page.
Assumptions:
- The user uses a file graph (Markdown-based).
- The user captures into a dedicated page:
[[inbox]].
- Every captured item must include metadata child blocks.
When to Use
Use this skill when the user says things like:
- “Add this to my inbox”
- “Capture these into Logseq”
- “Turn this into inbox items”
- “I want to paste this into [[inbox]]”
Output Contract
Always return:
- A list of top-level blocks starting with
- .
- Each top-level block represents one captured item.
- Each item includes metadata as child blocks using
key:: value.
- Add
#inbox to the end of the main line so items are queryable via [[inbox]].
Required metadata (every item)
captured-at:: [[Today]]source:: ... (brief; URL if applicable)
Optional metadata (use if provided or inferable)
type:: [[task]] | [[note]] | [[idea]] | [[reference]] | [[waiting]]project:: [[Project Name]]area:: [[Area Name]]context:: [[@computer]] | [[@phone]] | [[@errands]] | ...next-action:: ... (only if the main line is not already a task)
Classification Rules
- If the user describes an action, output it as a task marker line (
TODO by default).
- If the user describes a dependency on someone else, use
WAIT or keep it as TODO but set type:: [[waiting]].
- If it’s information, output as a plain note (no marker).
- If it’s vague, capture as a note + add
next-action:: asking for clarification.
Examples
1) Action item
- TODO Email Alice about the contract #inbox
- captured-at:: [[Today]]
- source:: phone
- context:: [[@computer]]
2) Waiting for
- WAIT Reply from Bob on the budget #inbox
- captured-at:: [[Today]]
- source:: Slack
- type:: [[waiting]]
- project:: [[Q1 Planning]]
3) Idea / note
- Idea: create a recurring “weekly cleanup” routine #inbox
- captured-at:: [[Today]]
- source:: during commute
- type:: [[idea]]
- next-action:: Decide the minimum checklist for weekly cleanup
4) Reference (link)
- Reference: [Article title](https://example.com) #inbox
- captured-at:: [[Today]]
- source:: web
- type:: [[reference]]
