# Inbox Scanner
Check 03_Inbox/ for files that need routing.
## Process
1. List all files in `03_Inbox/`:
```bash
find "$ALIVE_WORLD_ROOT/03_Inbox" -type f -not -name ".*" -not -name "*.DS_Store" 2>/dev/null
```
2. For each file:
- Read the first 500 chars to understand content
- Suggest a destination walnut based on content
- Classify type (document, transcript, screenshot, data)
3. Present grouped by suggested destination:
```
Inbox: [N] files
[walnut-name]:
1. [filename] -- [type] -- [one-line description]
2. [filename] -- [type] -- [one-line description]
[other-walnut]:
3. [filename] -- [type] -- [one-line description]
Unsure:
4. [filename] -- [content preview]
Reply with numbers to approve routing. "all" to approve all. "skip" to leave for later.
```
## Rules
- If inbox is empty, output `[SILENT]`
- Don't move files -- just suggest. Wait for approval.
- Files older than 48 hours get flagged: "This has been in inbox for [N] days"
- Max 10 files per notification. If more, show count and suggest `/alive-capture`
