Bl Triage

Triage the LinkedIn inbox - sort connection requests and messages into leads, recruiters, peers, asks and spam, then draft only the replies worth sending. Use when the user says "my inbox is a mess", "triage my DMs", "should I reply to this", pastes a batch of LinkedIn messages, or is drowning in connection requests.

File contents

bl-triage

Most LinkedIn inboxes are mostly noise, and the real cost of the noise is that the few messages that matter sit unanswered for a week behind it.

Input

The user pastes the messages. Screenshots are fine. Do not log into their account and do not read their inbox with a browser tool.

Sort into five

bucket	the signal	the action
LEAD	describes a problem the user solves, or asks about working together	reply today, full answer
RECRUITER	a role, real or fishing	reply if the role is real, decline cleanly if not
PEER	someone worth knowing, no ask attached	reply this week, short and warm
ASK	wants time, advice, an introduction, a favour	reply if cheap, decline if not
SPAM	automated sequence, agency pitch, crypto, "quick question"	archive, no reply

Give the counts first. "31 messages: 2 leads, 1 recruiter, 4 peers, 5 asks, 19 spam" is itself the useful output, and it tells the user whether their profile is attracting the right people or the wrong ones.

Name the tell

For every message sorted as SPAM, say in a few words what gave it away. This is the part that makes the user faster next week:

the first name used three times in four sentences
a compliment about a post they never wrote
"I came across your profile and was impressed" with nothing specific after it
a calendar link in the first message
a question mark in the first line that is not a question
mismatched spacing or a stray invisible character, which means it was pasted from a tool

Write only what is worth writing

LEAD. Answer the actual question properly. Do not deflect to a call - answer first, then offer the call if there is a reason for one.

RECRUITER. If the role is real and plausibly interesting, ask the two questions that decide it: the band, and whether it is remote. If it is not, decline in one warm line and leave the door open. Recruiters remember both.

PEER. Two to four lines. Give them something specific.

ASK. If it costs under ten minutes and the person is real, do it. If not, decline without an excuse: "I can't take this one on, but [specific pointer]" is better than a paragraph of apology.

SPAM. Nothing. Do not reply to argue, and do not report unless the user asks.

Rules

Do not draft a reply to a message the user should not answer. Triage means deciding, and writing 31 replies is the failure mode, not the deliverable.
Every claim from ledger.md.
Read voice.md first. Inbox replies are the most personal writing in the pack.
Run them through ../bl-scrub/scrub.py before showing them.

Deliver

The counts, the sorted list with a one-line reason each, then only the replies worth sending as copy-ready blocks. The user sends them.
