+** Inbox Monitoring Cadence — Check at Task Boundaries
+
+Check =inbox/= at every task boundary (after finishing a unit of work, before reporting back or asking "what's next") — not only at startup or when asked. Handoffs arrive mid-session; this keeps them from piling up unseen. The check is one command:
+
+#+begin_src bash
+.ai/scripts/inbox-status -q
+#+end_src
+
+Exit 1 means handoffs are pending — process them per =process-inbox.org=. For each accepted handoff, the act-vs-file rule: *act now* when it's clear, bounded, low-risk, in-scope, and cheaper than deferring — just do it, no asking; *file* otherwise — ask first, with filing as option 1 and "do it now" as option 2; *ask* if unsure. Always reply to a handoff's sender (confirm on accept, the why on reject). Full process, the reply discipline, and the opt-in background-monitor =/loop= recipe live in =monitor-inbox.org=.
