By name: inbox-watcher context: fork description: Check for unprocessed files and suggest appropriate skills to handle them model: haiku
/inbox-watcher
Monitor for unprocessed files in the vault and suggest the appropriate skill to handle each.
Usage
/inbox-watcher # Check and classify all unprocessed files
/inbox-watcher --process # Check and auto-process with suggested skills
Instructions
1. Check for Unprocessed Inbox Items
npm run inbox:check 2>/dev/null
If no inbox script output, fall back to scanning common drop locations:
# Check for files that may need processing
ls -t voicenotes/*.md 2>/dev/null | head -10
ls -t Attachments/*.pdf Attachments/*.pptx 2>/dev/null | head -10
2. Check for Untyped Notes
Find markdown files that lack a type field in frontmatter (potential unprocessed content):
node .claude/scripts/graph-query.js --where="type=" --json 2>/dev/null
If graph-query.js does not support querying for empty/null type, use a Grep fallback:
# Find notes without a type field in frontmatter
find . -name "*.md" -not -path "./.claude/*" -not -path "./.obsidian/*" -not -path "./node_modules/*" -not -path "./Templates/*" -not -path "./Archive/*" | while read f; do
if \! head -20 "$f" | grep -q "^type:"; then echo "$f"; fi
done
3. Classify and Recommend
For each unprocessed file, suggest the appropriate skill:
| File Pattern | Suggested Skill | Rationale |
|---|---|---|
voicenotes/*.md |
/meeting or /daily |
Voice transcriptions → meeting notes or daily entries |
Attachments/*.pdf |
/pdf-to-page |
PDFs → structured page notes |
Attachments/*.pptx |
/pptx-to-page |
PowerPoints → page notes with slide images |
*.csv in root |
/csv-to-page or /csv-to-sql |
Data files → markdown tables or SQLite |
Untyped .md at root |
/incubator or manual triage |
Loose notes need classification |
Email - *.md without type |
/email |
Email drafts needing frontmatter |
4. Present Report
## Inbox Report — YYYY-MM-DD
### Unprocessed Files (N found)
| # | File | Type | Suggested Action |
|---|------|------|-----------------|
| 1 | voicenotes/2026-02-13... | Voice note | `/meeting` — transcribe to meeting note |
| 2 | Attachments/report.pdf | PDF | `/pdf-to-page` — extract to page |
### Quick Actions
- Process all: `/inbox-watcher --process`
- Process one: Run the suggested skill command
5. Auto-Process (--process flag)
If --process flag is set, run npm run inbox:process and then invoke the suggested skill for each file sequentially, confirming with the user before each.
Guidelines
- Read-only by default — only process files when
--processis explicitly requested - Always confirm before processing — show what will happen first
- Skip files in
Archive/,Templates/, and.claude/ - Voice notes are the most common inbox item — prioritise these
