| description | Personal App-in-Skill inbound-inquiry reception desk for cross-border/foreign-trade sellers, aggregating WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and email inquiries into a local pipeline with a product knowledge base, quote worksheet, approval queue, and follow-up reminders. Use when the user invokes $kelly-inquiry or /kelly-inquiry, mentions 询盘, inquiry desk, WhatsApp leads, quote management, 报价, foreign trade sales, follow-up reminders, or a lead pipeline, wants inquiries triaged into new/replied/quoted/negotiating/won/lost stages, agent-drafted replies and quotes reviewed before sending, or stale deals surfaced. |
Kelly Inquiry
Overview
Use this skill as Kelly's inbound-inquiry reception desk for foreign-trade sales. Inquiries arrive via WhatsApp, Instagram, Messenger, and email; sales reply late and leads leak. The skill aggregates them into one file-backed App-in-Skill pipeline (new → replied → quoted → negotiating → won/lost), maintains a product knowledge base + FAQ so the agent can draft accurate replies and quotes, enforces approval before anything is sent, and surfaces stale deals past the follow-up SLA.
Default interaction mode: App UI. Unless the user explicitly asks for chat-only handling, check onboarding/config, refresh or load the local inquiry snapshot, start/reuse the local app with app/start.sh, and give the actual local URL. Use chat-only mode only when the user says "纯聊天", "chat only", "不要打开 UI", or similar.

Boundary
- The app reads and writes local files only and never touches any network beyond
127.0.0.1. It cannot send anything: the composer queues drafts, the approvals view records verdicts.
- Every outbound reply AND quote is approval-required. The skill executes only items whose approvals status is
approved, via scripts/send_approved.ts (dry-run by default), and never bypasses the dry-run → --send sequence.
- Own accounts only: read and send exclusively through accounts the user owns and has configured. Respect each platform's terms of service and rate limits; prefer official APIs; keep collection read-only.
- Never store passwords, QR-login payloads, or session tokens. For
browser_agent collection the agent drives the user's own already-authenticated web session and stores only inquiry text needed for review.
- Product and pricing data stays local. Treat customer contacts, conversation excerpts, price floors, and quotes as sensitive: do not commit
config.local.json, env files, app/.data/, exports, tokens, or customer PII.
First Run And Onboarding
On invocation, check app/.data/onboarding.json and private config readiness. If onboarding is absent/incomplete, guide setup before collecting real inquiries.
Private config priority:
KELLY_INQUIRY_CONFIG=/absolute/path/to/config.json
skills/kelly-inquiry/config.local.json
~/.config/kelly-inquiry/config.json
skills/kelly-inquiry/config.example.json as template only
Env priority:
- Existing environment variables
KELLY_INQUIRY_ENV_FILE=/absolute/path/to/.env
- Repository root
.env
skills/kelly-inquiry/.env.local
~/.config/kelly-inquiry/.env
Onboarding asks, turn by turn:
- Which channels receive inquiries (WhatsApp / Instagram / Messenger / email) and which connector method per account (see Collection Workflow). Ask for non-secret details only: channel, display name, handle, and which env var names hold the tokens. Never ask the user to paste secret values into chat; secrets belong only in local env files.
- Product KB import: a JSON or CSV file of products (SKU, MOQ, price range incl.
price_min floors, lead time, specs, FAQ), imported via scripts/sync_products.ts.
- Quote defaults: currency, validity days, incoterm/payment terms, and whether the min-price guard is enabled.
- Follow-up SLA days per stage (defaults: new 1, replied 2, quoted 3, negotiating 5).
- Reply style: tone, language policy, signature, and "do not say" guardrails.
When setup is complete and the user confirms, write app/.data/onboarding.json:
{
"completed": true,
"completed_at": "ISO timestamp",
"config_version": "1"
}
Local App
Start the app with:
skills/kelly-inquiry/app/start.sh
The app uses local HTTP on 127.0.0.1, preferring ports 3000 through 4000, or KELLY_INQUIRY_UI_PORT when set. /api/state identifies the app as kelly-inquiry.
Required app views (hash routes):
#/overview: inquiry command desk. Human-attention panel (replies/quotes awaiting approval, unanswered new inquiries, stale deals past the follow-up SLA), KPI cards (inquiries this week with channel badges, reply median time, quotes sent, win rate), a pipeline funnel summary (inline SVG bars: new→replied→quoted→negotiating→won), and an oldest-unanswered indicator.
#/inquiries and #/inquiries/<id>: the pipeline table — customer, country flag/code, channel badge, product interest, stage, value estimate, last message age, next follow-up date, owner. Detail: conversation excerpt (bubbles), customer profile (company, country, source), linked products, quote history, an agent-drafted reply with editable text plus Queue reply (goes to Approvals), and a follow-up scheduling field.
#/quotes and #/quotes/<id>: quote worksheet — quote no, customer, line items, currency, validity, status (draft/sent/accepted/expired/declined). Detail: editable line items sourced from the product KB (draft quotes only), terms, and agent pricing notes with the min-price guard result from the KB floors.
#/approvals: the review queue with workflow states needs_review / changes_requested / approved / done / blocked over outgoing replies AND quotes. Each item shows target channel + customer, the draft, reason/context, editable text, decision buttons (approve / request changes / save edit / block), and stable refs (Reply #1 / Quote #2). done means sent, with the execution result from the execution report.
#/products and #/products/<id>: the product KB — cards with name, SKU, MOQ, price range, lead time, FAQ count; detail with specs and the FAQ entries the agent uses for drafting.
#/settings: sanitized config — channels/accounts with connector method + env readiness booleans, product KB source, quote defaults (currency, validity days, min-price guard), follow-up SLA, data provider, onboarding state, sync log, and last execution report. Never secrets.
Demo mode:
?demo=overview, ?demo=inquiries, ?demo=quotes, ?demo=approvals, and ?demo=detail (opens the featured hot WhatsApp inquiry wa-mueller-led-panels with a drafted reply and a draft quote) select named deterministic mock scenes.
lang=en or lang=zh forces UI chrome language for screenshots. With lang=zh the chrome AND agent-generated content (reasons, notes, product names, pricing notes) are localized; drafted replies and conversation quotes stay in the buyer's language. Deep links such as /?demo=detail&lang=zh#/inquiries/wa-mueller-led-panels work.
- Demo mode never reads or writes
app/.data/. Composer, approvals, follow-up, and quote-edit buttons still work but act on in-memory state only and show a demo notice.
UI language: English and Chinese chrome with Auto default following the browser language; explicit selector persisted locally. Keep customer names, message content, and drafted outbound text in their original language.
File Contract
Read references/inquiry-schema.md before editing the app, scripts, or any generated JSON.
app/.data/inquiry_snapshot.json: accounts, inquiries (with conversation excerpts), quotes, products (KB), approvals (batch items), metrics, sync log. Written only by the scripts and the app server's queue/decision/follow-up/quote endpoints.
app/.data/decisions.json: user decisions and notes keyed by approval item id.
app/.data/agent_tasks.json: queued agent work — revise_reply / revise_quote tasks from request_changes decisions, plus follow_up tasks for stale deals.
app/.data/execution_report.json: latest send run results.
app/.data/onboarding.json: onboarding completion marker.
app/.data/agent.lock: temporary lock while the skill ingests, syncs, or sends. While it exists the app rejects writes (423) and renders the composer, approvals, follow-up field, and quote editor read-only.
Validate with node scripts/validate_ui_schema.ts before relying on a snapshot in the UI.
Collection Workflow
- Detect mode. Default to App UI.
- Load private config. If only
config.example.json exists, enter onboarding.
- Collection reuses the connector reality documented in kelly-messenger. Per account, declare a
connector:
whatsapp_cloud — WhatsApp Business Cloud API (access_token_env + phone_number_id_env). Inbound messages arrive via webhook only, so history is collected via ingest payloads; sends use the Cloud API.
instagram_graph / messenger_graph — Meta Graph API for professional-account DMs and Page messages (access_token_env + ig_user_id_env / page_id_env).
email_agent — hand off to the kelly-email skill: it collects inquiry emails, the agent normalizes them into an ingest payload; sends go back through kelly-email drafts.
browser_agent — the agent drives the user's own already-authenticated web session (e.g. WhatsApp Web, Instagram web) with the browser skill, then writes a payload. No passwords or QR secrets are ever stored.
manual — the user or agent prepares an ingest payload by hand.
- All collected data enters through one write path:
node scripts/ingest_inquiries.ts payload.json. It validates the payload, dedupes by stable inquiry/message ids, merges into the snapshot, applies the stage heuristic (an outgoing reply promotes new → replied), updates the account card and sync log, honors the agent lock, and recomputes metrics.
- While drafting, the agent may attach a
suggested_reply per inquiry (prefilled in the composer) and queue reply/quote drafts into snapshot.approvals[] with suggested_by: "agent" and a clear reason — always grounded in the product KB and reply style, never below price_min.
- Start/reuse the UI and report the URL. Surface connector problems as snapshot warnings, not silent failures.
Quoting Workflow
- Ground every quote in the product KB: SKU, MOQ, tier pricing inside
price_min–price_max, lead time, and FAQ facts (certificates, OEM options, dimming, packaging). Import/refresh the KB with node scripts/sync_products.ts products.json|products.csv (zero-dependency CSV parser with quoted-field support).
- Min-price guard: config
quote_defaults.min_price_guard plus per-product price_min floors. Any line priced below its floor raises a pricing_alerts entry; with block_below_price_min the agent must not queue such a quote for sending — block it and ask the user instead.
- Build the quote as a
draft in snapshot.quotes[] (quote no, line items, currency, validity from validity_days, terms from quote defaults, pricing notes explaining the tier used and the guard result) and queue a matching kind: "quote" approval item referencing it.
- The user edits draft line items in
#/quotes/<id> (the server recomputes totals and re-runs the guard) and gives the verdict in #/approvals.
- After a quote is sent, set its status to
sent; track accepted / expired / declined from the conversation, and move the inquiry stage accordingly (quoted, negotiating, won, lost).
Approval And Send Workflow
scripts/send_approved.ts is the executor — there is no separate execute_decisions.ts.
- Queue: the user writes or edits a reply in the composer (optionally starting from the agent's
suggested_reply) and clicks Queue reply; the app appends it to snapshot.approvals[] as needs_review. The agent queues its own reply/quote drafts the same way.
- Review: in
#/approvals the user approves, edits (Save edit), requests changes, or blocks each item. Decisions are mirrored into decisions.json; request_changes enqueues a revise_reply/revise_quote task in agent_tasks.json.
- Agent revision loop: poll
agent_tasks.json, redraft the text honoring the comment, the config reply_style, and the KB (re-check the min-price guard for quotes), set the item back to needs_review, and mark the task done.
- Send: only after the user asks to send, run
node scripts/send_approved.ts (dry-run) and show the plan — planned sends, targets, and missing-token blockers. With explicit approval, run node scripts/send_approved.ts --send: it re-checks the lock and each item's approval immediately before sending, sends API-connector items via the official APIs (WhatsApp Cloud, Instagram/Messenger Graph), marks email_agent/browser_agent/manual items as handoff_to_agent for the agent to deliver (kelly-email drafts, or the user's own web session), sets sent items to done, and writes execution_report.json.
- Report per-item results back to the user with the stable
Reply #N / Quote #N refs.
Follow-Up Reminders
Stale deals are how leads leak; the agent owns catching them.
- On every invocation (and after every ingest), compare each active inquiry (
new/replied/quoted/negotiating) against follow_up.sla_days for its stage and its next_follow_up date.
- For each overdue deal, append a
follow_up task to agent_tasks.json (inquiry id, quote id if one expired, and a comment explaining which SLA was exceeded) so the queue survives interruption.
- Draft the follow-up reply into the approvals batch (
suggested_by: "agent", reason citing the SLA breach and deal value), then mark the task done — the human still approves before anything is sent.
- The UI surfaces the same signal: the sidebar stale-deal counter, the overview "Stale deals past follow-up SLA" panel, and red overdue dates in the pipeline table. The user can reschedule with the follow-up field in the inquiry detail (
/api/inquiries/followup).
- When the user asks "what should I chase today", answer from
agent_tasks.json + the stale list, with Reply #N refs for anything already drafted.
Safety Defaults
- Never send without an
approved status recorded in the approvals batch, and never bypass the dry-run → --send sequence.
- Never quote below a product's
price_min without an explicit human decision recorded on the item.
- Prefer read-scoped tokens where the platform offers them; keep collection strictly read-only.
- Redact tokens and token-like strings from logs, reports, and UI state; expose only env-var readiness booleans.
- Keep sends idempotent: stable item ids, execution results stored on the item, and re-reading approvals before each send.
- If a send target is missing (
provider_conversation_id), block that item and ask for configuration instead of guessing.
- Honor platform rate limits; on 429s back off rather than retrying aggressively.
