| description | Process files from wiki inboxes and the root inbox. Calls MCP `lore_inbox_classify` for the deterministic walk; LLM reads each file and composes notes; `lore inbox archive` moves originals to `.processed/`. Run with "/lore:inbox". |

Knowledge Inbox Processor
Process files dropped into any inbox and create structured notes in
the appropriate wiki. The walk + classification is one MCP call; the
LLM reads files, composes notes, and archives originals.
Workflow
-
Classify โ call mcp__lore__lore_inbox_classify (no args).
Returns per-file path, type, target_wiki, needs_triage. If
total == 0, report and stop. Do not Glob substitute.
-
Per file: route + analyze โ pre-routed files (target_wiki
set) go to that wiki; root-inbox files (needs_triage: true) need
content-driven routing (ask if ambiguous).
-
Compose the note โ pick type
(project / concept / decision / paper / reference), subfolder,
and slug. Call mcp__lore__lore_search once with the topic to
find related notes; [[wikilink]] the top hits.
-
Contradiction check โ if the new content contradicts a top
search hit's description, set contradicts: [[note]] in
frontmatter and surface it in the final report. Don't auto-merge.
-
Write + commit โ write the note via the Write tool following
the wiki's CLAUDE.md conventions (schema_version: 2,
provenance: extracted + source: for non-text). Commit with
lore session commit <path>.
-
Archive โ lore inbox archive <path> moves the source to
.processed/<YYYY-MM-DD>_<filename>. Never delete.
-
Report โ by type and inbox: filed paths, links created, items
needing user review (ambiguous routing, large PDFs, contradictions).
Hard rules
- One MCP call for the walk (Glob substitutes are a regression).
- Per-wiki inboxes are pre-routed โ don't second-guess
target_wiki.
- Always archive, never delete.
- Atomic notes โ one topic per note; split multi-topic documents.
- Flag contradictions, never silently override.
