Check Inbox

Check & Process Inbox

Instructions

1. Fetch unread messages

   • Call get_inbox to retrieve all unread inbox items.
   • If the inbox is empty, report "No unread messages" and stop.

2. Review each item

   • For each unread message, identify:
     • Sender: who sent it
     • Channel or DM: where it came from
     • Content: the message body
     • Priority: whether it requires immediate action, is a question, an FYI, or a task request

3. Categorize messages

   • Group messages into categories:
     • Action Required — messages that need a response or decision
     • FYI / Informational — status updates, notifications
     • Questions — questions directed at you that need answers
     • Tasks / Requests — work items or review requests

4. Acknowledge processed items

   • For each reviewed message, call ack_inbox with the message ID to mark it as read.
   • Only acknowledge after you have fully reviewed the content.

5. Generate summary

   • Output a structured summary with:
     • Total unread count
     • Breakdown by category
     • List of items requiring immediate attention (with sender and brief description)
     • Any items you recommend responding to first

6. Respond if needed

   • If $ARGUMENTS includes "respond", also draft and send replies to urgent items using send_message (for channels) or send_dm (for direct messages).
   • Without the "respond" argument, only summarize — do not send any replies.

$ARGUMENTS

• /check-inbox — Check inbox and summarize only
• /check-inbox respond — Check inbox, summarize, and respond to urgent items
