Inbox Triage
Triage answers one question per message: does a human have to act on this?
- Scan first (
pre_scan_inbox, then triage_inbox); never open messages one by
one to build a picture.
- Buckets, in order: needs a reply · needs a decision · for information · noise.
- Open only what the category can't settle. Sender + subject usually decide it.
- Act on the reversible end only — mark read, star, label, archive. Reply, send,
and delete are proposals the user confirms.
Report one opening sentence and stop: how many items need attention, and
how much of the mailbox was scanned. The numbered breakdown is rendered from
the scan itself — do not write it out, and never re-list, renumber, or
summarise those items yourself.
Age beats volume. A thread the user already answered is handled. "URGENT" in a
subject line is a claim, not a fact.
