From 8c0eca8375db2c2d346f5fd08ac752209349f94e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Craig Jennings Date: Sun, 31 May 2026 00:07:03 -0500 Subject: feat(workflows): add monitor-inbox workflow + inbox-status script Handoffs that arrive mid-session used to sit unseen until the next startup or a manual check. Today's burst of cross-project handoffs made that gap obvious. I added monitor-inbox.org, the cadence-and-decision layer over process-inbox: check the inbox at every task boundary, decide act-now (just do it) versus file (ask, with filing as option 1), and reply to the sender. An opt-in background-monitor /loop recipe covers unattended watching. inbox-status (with bats tests) is the cheap check the cadence calls. It lists unprocessed handoffs and exits nonzero when any are pending, using the same artifact exclusions as the wrap-up sanity check. protocols.org gets a short cadence note so the habit fires every session, and INDEX.org lists the new workflow. The act-vs-file rule (act-now is silent, filing asks with file as option 1, ambiguity asks) is the decision protocol we settled today. --- .ai/workflows/INDEX.org | 2 ++ 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+) (limited to '.ai/workflows/INDEX.org') diff --git a/.ai/workflows/INDEX.org b/.ai/workflows/INDEX.org index 9c9c32c..c8554d4 100644 --- a/.ai/workflows/INDEX.org +++ b/.ai/workflows/INDEX.org @@ -42,6 +42,8 @@ This index must list every =.org= file in =.ai/workflows/= except this one and e - Triggers: "clean up todo.org", "clean-todo", "tidy the todo file", "archive the done items in todo.org", "run the todo cleanup" - =process-inbox.org= — evaluate each inbox item against a three-question value gate (advances an existing TODO / improves the project / serves the mission), then implement, fold, file, defer, or reject per source (Craig / project handoff / script).
