| CRITICAL | Inbox checked at session start before any other work begins | Source: [YOUR_PLANS_DIR]/_inbox/ — list all files, compare against INBOX_PROCESSING_LOG.md |
| CRITICAL | No inbox file deleted without processing — uncertain routing flagged for founder review | If routing is unclear, leave in inbox and flag — never delete or silently skip |
| HIGH | Each new file routed to correct destination per routing guide | Evidence: file moved/copied to destination, logged in INBOX_PROCESSING_LOG.md |
| HIGH | Files containing decisions or action items → memory log entry created | Use memory-entry skill — inbox items with material outcomes must be logged |
| HIGH | Files affecting Engineering → XD- handoff initiated | Use cross-org-handoff skill — do not route Engineering-relevant items verbally |
| MEDIUM | Processing logged in INBOX_PROCESSING_LOG.md before session continues | Evidence: log entry with date, filename, destination, and brief description |
| LOW | Routing guide consulted before moving any file — no guessed destinations | Mis-routed files are hard to find later — check the table first |
