Process Inbox Items

Process all pending items in the vault's /Needs_Action folder following Company Handbook rules.

Workflow

1. Read Company Handbook for processing rules:

   Read vault/Company_Handbook.md
   

2. List pending items in /Needs_Action:

   List all .md files in vault/Needs_Action/ (ignore .gitkeep)
   

3. For each pending item:

   • Read the .md file and parse the YAML frontmatter
   • Determine priority from the priority field
   • Process high priority items first
   • Based on type field, take appropriate action:
     • file_drop: Review the associated file, categorize it, write a summary
     • email: Draft a response or flag for human review
     • task: Create a plan in /Plans

4. After processing each item:

   • Update the frontmatter status to completed
   • Add a processing summary to the file
   • Move the .md file and any associated files to vault/Done/
   • Log the action

5. Update Dashboard: After processing all items, update vault/Dashboard.md with:

   • Number of items processed
   • Any items requiring human attention
   • Updated stats

Important Rules

• Follow the Company_Handbook.md rules strictly
• Never auto-approve actions listed as "Require approval" in the handbook
• If unsure about an action, create an approval request in vault/Pending_Approval/
• Always log actions to vault/Logs/
• Process items in priority order: high → medium → low

Write log entries as JSON to vault/Logs/YYYY-MM-DD.json:
