inbox
Review inbox tasks and select highest priority work. Use when asked to check inbox, find next task, or start working on pending items.
What this skill does
# Inbox Task Selector Select the highest priority task from the inbox and shape the implementation approach with the user. ## Instructions ### Step 1: Fetch Inbox Tasks Run the check-inbox command to get open tasks: ```bash wrkq check-inbox --json ``` ### Step 2: Select Highest Priority Task From the JSON output, identify the task with: 1. **Lowest priority number** (1 = highest priority, 4 = lowest) 2. Among equal priorities, prefer tasks with earlier `created_at` ### Step 3: Display Selected Task Show the user: - Task ID and title - Priority level - Current state - Brief summary of what the task involves Read the full task details: ```bash wrkq cat <task-id> ``` ### Step 4: Understand the Ask Before proposing implementation: 1. Read the task description thoroughly 2. Explore any referenced files or code 3. Understand the scope and constraints ### Step 5: Shape the Implementation After understanding the task, use the **prompt-shaping** skill to collaborate with the user on the implementation approach: 1. Propose a structured interpretation of the task 2. Break down into actionable steps 3. Identify any ambiguities or decisions needed 4. Get user alignment before proceeding To invoke prompt-shaping, use the Skill tool: ``` Skill: prompt-shaping ``` ### Step 6: Begin Work Once the user approves the shaped approach: 1. Set the task to `in_progress` 2. Create a TodoWrite list for tracking 3. Begin implementation ```bash wrkq set <task-id> --state in_progress ``` ## Example Flow ``` User: /inbox Claude: Let me check your inbox for the highest priority task... [Runs: wrkq check-inbox --json] Found 3 open tasks. Selecting highest priority: **T-00036: Implement deleted state and restore command** - Priority: 3 - State: open - Created: 2025-12-28 Let me read the full task details... [Runs: wrkq cat T-00036] This task involves adding a "deleted" lifecycle state and a restore command. Now let me shape the implementation with you... [Invokes prompt-shaping skill] ``` ## Notes - Always show the user which task was selected and why - If multiple tasks have equal priority, briefly mention alternatives - Use prompt-shaping to ensure alignment before coding - Track progress with wrkq comments as work proceeds

IncludedProvides calibrated decision analysis using Charlie Munger-style multiple mental models, inversion, incentive mapping, circle-of-competence checks, misjudgment audits, second-order effects, and forecast updates. Use when the user asks for an oracle take, a hard call, a decision memo, a premortem, an outside view, a red-team, a sanity-check, what am I missing, think this through, or wants a strategy, hire, investment, plan, product, partnership, or major life choice analysed. Avoid for simple factual lookups or time-sensitive legal, medical, or market questions without fresh evidence.
