| name | mailbox-inbox-processing |
| description | Covers the basic AInbox inbox triage loop. Use when an agent needs to pull new messages, read the next relevant item, and reply or archive without loading the broader messaging guidance. |
Use this skill to triage and process incoming AInbox messages.
Preferred runtime
When an AInbox checkout is available locally, run source ./scripts/ensure-mailbox.sh on Linux/macOS or .\scripts\ensure-mailbox.ps1 in PowerShell before using mailbox.
Standard inbox loop
mailbox sync --pull-only
mailbox list
mailbox read --id <message-id>
Keep this lightweight
- pull before reading so the inbox reflects shared state
- use
mailbox read --correlation-id <thread-id> to stay inside a thread
- archive only when you want to skip without printing the message
Typical response
mailbox send --to worker-agent --subject "RE: parser cleanup" \
--body "Reviewed. Looks good to merge." \
--correlation-id parser-fix
mailbox sync --push-only
Source checkout variations
cargo run -- read --id <message-id>
python -m ainbox.cli read --id <message-id>
Fallback installs
