# 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.

# 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.
