vault inbox triage
Example session with this skill installed
Review my 00-inbox folder, move evergreen notes to 20-notes, and ensure all tags match my dictionary in 90-meta/tags.md.
- Read your context and instructions
- Compiled the vault inbox triage
- Generated the document
I have surveyed the 00-inbox/ directory. I found 4 files. One is a high-quality insight suitable for your evergreen notes, two are raw clippings, and one requires manual review due to missing data.
I will now execute the following moves
git mv 00-inbox/probabilistic-thinking.md 20-notes/probabilistic-thinking.mdgit mv 00-inbox/rss-digest-05-12.md 10-sources/rss-digest-05-12.mdgit mv 00-inbox/api-ref-snippet.md 10-sources/api-ref-snippet.md
Triage Report
| File | Action | New Status | Tags Applied |
|---|---|---|---|
probabilistic-thinking.md | Promoted to Notes | status: seedling | #epistemology |
rss-digest-05-12.md | Moved to Sources | status: raw | #digest |
api-ref-snippet.md | Moved to Sources | status: raw | #dev-docs |
broken-link.md | Left in Inbox | status: triage | N/A |

Note: The file broken-link.md was left in the inbox because it appears to be a truncated web clip with no readable body text. Tag #epistemology was added to 90-meta/tags.md before processing.
Next steps
- Review
00-inbox/broken-link.mdto see if the source URL needs re-clipping. - Run a vault-wide broken link check to ensure the moves didn't affect external references.
- Commit the changes to your main branch.

What you get
About this skill
Knowledge vaults often become graveyard folders of clipped articles and messy drafts. This skill processes your vault inbox by classifying notes, repairing broken metadata, and moving files to their proper permanent homes.
What it does
- Note classification identifies if a file is an atomic insight, a raw source dump, or a low-quality bot failure.
- Git-safe migration uses
git mvto move files while preserving version history. - Frontmatter repair patches YAML fields like status, tags, and path-derived metadata.
- Tag enforcement validates tags against your existing dictionary to prevent taxonomy bloat.
- PII redaction detects and masks sensitive information found in raw digests.
How it works
- Survey phase reads every file in the designated inbox to understand its content.
- Classification plan generates a move list based on your specific folder structure (e.g., Sources, Notes, Projects).
- Approval gate presents a dry-run plan for batches larger than ten files.
- Execution and Patching moves files via git, updates frontmatter, and verifies YAML integrity.
Frameworks & tools
Works with Markdown-based knowledge bases including Obsidian, Logseq, and Foam. Requires a Git-managed repository for history preservation.
Why this beats prompting it yourself
Generic prompts often copy and delete files, destroying Git history and breaking internal links. This skill treats your vault as a database, enforcing tag consistency and verifying YAML syntax to prevent silent corruption.
Use cases
- Process a week of web clippings into a categorized "Sources" folder.
- Promote rough daily notes into atomic "Evergreen" notes with proper status tags.
- Clean up auto-generated digests that contain broken metadata or stray characters.
- Audit a messy inbox to redact accidental PII before committing to a public repo.
Known limitations
Physical deletion is disabled; files can only be archived or moved. You must have a Git repository initialized. YAML ID fields and timestamps are never modified to protect backlink integrity.
