Skills Inbox

Process a "Skills Inbox" folder of saved links — fetch each one, evaluate the skill/tool, log it to a notes vault, and file processed items to _done. Use when the user says "process my skills inbox", "check my skills inbox", or drops links/tools to evaluate.

File contents

Skills Inbox Processor

Inbox: a folder (e.g. ~/Desktop/Skills Inbox/) where you drop .txt files containing URLs or .webloc browser bookmarks (skills, GitHub repos, AI tools worth remembering).

Procedure

  1. List everything in the inbox except README.md and _done/.
  2. For each file, extract the URL (.txt = raw URL; .webloc = plist, grab the <string> value).
  3. Fetch and analyze each URL (scrape pages, or clone/read for GitHub repos):
    • What it is, what problem it solves
    • Whether it overlaps a skill you already have (check ~/.claude/skills/)
    • Verdict: install now / adapt into an existing skill / just reference / skip
  4. Save one note per item to your notes vault with frontmatter (name, url, date, verdict) and links to related notes.
  5. Move the processed file into _done/.
  6. For any "install now" verdicts, ask before actually installing — then install to ~/.claude/skills/ (user-owned, no sudo).

Summary format

End with a table: Item | Verdict | One-line reason — plus anything flagged "install now" listed as a question.
