Inbox Processor

Vault

Default: ~/Documents/Brain, or BRAIN_VAULT if set.

Read first

1. SYSTEM.md
2. lessons.md
3. inbox/inbox.md
4. Existing folders under notes/, projects/, daily/

Do

For each unchecked or new inbox line:

1. Decide the destination:
   • lasting knowledge → notes/<short-slug>.md
   • active work → projects/<name>/ (create from projects/_template.md if needed)
   • today-only → append to daily/YYYY-MM-DD.md
   • noise / done → archive/ or delete with a note
2. Write the file. Keep titles short.
3. Mark the inbox line done, or remove it once filed.
4. Report a short summary: filed N, skipped N, needs-decision N.

Rules

• Do not invent facts.
• Do not create projects for one-line thoughts. Prefer notes/.
• Ask only when the destination is genuinely unclear.
• Never wipe the whole inbox without processing each item.
