# Mastermind Inbox
This skill is invoked by `mastermind:inbox` or directly via `/mastermind:inbox`.
---
## Inputs
- `brain_context`: BRAIN CONTEXT block
- `org_name`: optional — filter to a single org (default: all orgs)
- `filter`: all | approvals | heartbeats | tasks | alerts (default: all)
- `action`: read | mark-done | archive
- `item_id`: id of item to action
- `caller`: command | master
---
## Step 0 — Brain Load (standalone only)
If `caller` is not "command", load brain context following mastermind-protocol/SKILL.md Brain Load Procedure with namespace: `ops`.
---
## Step 1 — Collect All Orgs
```bash
if [ -n "$org_name" ]; then
orgs="$org_name"
else
orgs=$(ls .monomind/orgs/*.json 2>/dev/null | grep -vE -- '-approvals|-state|-activity|-goals|-routines|-projects|-members|-issues|-workspaces|-worktrees|-environments|-plugins|-adapters|-bootstrap|-threads|-budgets|-project-workspaces|-approval-comments' | xargs -I{} basename {} .json | sort)
fi
```
---
## Step 2 — Gather Inbox Items
For each org, collect:
```bash
total_approvals=0
total_heartbeats=0
total_alerts=0
for org in $orgs; do
orgFile=".monomind/orgs/${org}.json"
stateFile=".monomind/orgs/${org}-state.json"
approvalsFile=".monomind/orgs/${org}-approvals.json"
# LEGACY-ORG-V1: approvals files only exist for the v1 prompt-orchestrated
# runner — see runorgv1 / approvev1.
# 1. Pending approvals
if [ -f "$approvalsFile" ]; then
pending=$(jq '[(.approvals // [])[] | select(.status == "pending")] | length' "$approvalsFile" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
total_approvals=$((total_approvals + pending))
fi
# end LEGACY-ORG-V1
# LEGACY-ORG-V1: state-file "heartbeats" are the v1 scheduler's running-agent
# tracking — v2 runs live under .monomind/orgs/<name>/run-*/bus.jsonl instead.
# 2. Running agents (active heartbeats)
if [ -f "$stateFile" ]; then
running=$(jq '[.agents // {} | to_entries[] | select(.value.status == "running")] | length' "$stateFile" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
total_heartbeats=$((total_heartbeats + running))
fi
# end LEGACY-ORG-V1
# 3. Budget alerts
budget=$(jq -r '.run_config.budget_tokens // 0' "$orgFile" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
threshold=$(jq -r '.run_config.alert_threshold // 0.8' "$orgFile" 2>/dev/null || echo 0.8)
if [ "$budget" -gt 0 ] && [ -f "$stateFile" ]; then
total_in=$(jq '[.agents // {} | to_entries[] | .value.tokens_in // 0] | add // 0' "$stateFile" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
total_out=$(jq '[.agents // {} | to_entries[] | .value.tokens_out // 0] | add // 0' "$stateFile" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
total_tok=$((total_in + total_out))
over=$(awk -v t="$total_tok" -v b="$budget" -v thr="$threshold" \
'BEGIN { print (b>0 && t/b >= thr) ? "yes" : "no" }')
[ "$over" = "yes" ] && total_alerts=$((total_alerts + 1))
fi
done
```

## Step 3 — Render Inbox
```bash
echo "╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╗"
echo "║ MASTERMIND INBOX ║"
echo "╚══════════════════════════════════════════════════════╝"
echo ""
echo " 🔴 APPROVALS NEEDED: $total_approvals"
echo " 🟡 AGENTS RUNNING: $total_heartbeats"
echo " 🟠 BUDGET ALERTS: $total_alerts"
echo ""
for org in $orgs; do
orgFile=".monomind/orgs/${org}.json"
stateFile=".monomind/orgs/${org}-state.json"
approvalsFile=".monomind/orgs/${org}-approvals.json"
has_items=0
# LEGACY-ORG-V1: approvals belong to the v1 prompt-orchestrated runner
# Pending approvals
if [ -f "$approvalsFile" ]; then
pending_approvals=$(jq -r '(.approvals // [])[] | select(.status == "pending") | " [APPROVAL] [\(.id)] \(.agent_id): \(.title) risk=\(.risk_level // "low")"' \
"$approvalsFile" 2>/dev/null)
[ -n "$pending_approvals" ] && { has_items=1; echo "ORG: $org"; echo "$pending_approvals"; }
fi
# end LEGACY-ORG-V1
# LEGACY-ORG-V1: state-file heartbeats are the v1 scheduler's tracking
# Running agents
if [ -f "$stateFile" ]; then
running_agents=$(jq -r '
.agents // {} | to_entries[] | select(.value.status == "running") |
" [RUNNING] [\(.key)] since=\(.value.last_heartbeat // "unknown")"
' "$stateFile" 2>/dev/null)
[ -n "$running_agents" ] && { has_items=1; [ $has_items -eq 1 ] || echo "ORG: $org"; echo "$running_agents"; }
fi
# end LEGACY-ORG-V1
[ $has_items -eq 1 ] && echo ""
done
if [ "$total_approvals" -eq 0 ] && [ "$total_heartbeats" -eq 0 ] && [ "$total_alerts" -eq 0 ]; then
echo " ✓ Inbox is clear. No items need attention."
fi
```
### filter: approvals only
<!-- LEGACY-ORG-V1: approvals belong to the v1 prompt-orchestrated runner — see runorgv1 / approvev1. -->
```bash
for org in $orgs; do
approvalsFile=".monomind/orgs/${org}-approvals.json"
[ -f "$approvalsFile" ] || continue
echo "=== $org ==="
jq -r '(.approvals // [])[] | select(.status == "pending") |
"[\(.id)] \(.agent_id): \(.title)\n Action: \(.action)\n Risk: \(.risk_level // "low")\n → /mastermind:approvev1 --org '"$org"' --action approve --approval-id \(.id)"
' "$approvalsFile" 2>/dev/null || echo " No pending approvals."
echo ""
done
```
### filter: heartbeats only
<!-- LEGACY-ORG-V1: state-file heartbeats are the v1 scheduler's running-agent tracking. -->
Show currently running agent heartbeats across all orgs:
```bash
for org in $orgs; do
stateFile=".monomind/orgs/${org}-state.json"
[ -f "$stateFile" ] || continue
running=$(jq -r '
.agents // {} | to_entries[] | select(.value.status == "running") |
" [\(.key)] since=\(.value.last_heartbeat // "?")"
' "$stateFile" 2>/dev/null)
[ -n "$running" ] && { echo "=== $org ==="; echo "$running"; echo ""; }
done
```
### filter: alerts only
```bash
echo "BUDGET ALERTS:"
for org in $orgs; do
orgFile=".monomind/orgs/${org}.json"
stateFile=".monomind/orgs/${org}-state.json"
budget=$(jq -r '.run_config.budget_tokens // 0' "$orgFile" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
[ "$budget" -le 0 ] && continue
[ -f "$stateFile" ] || continue
total_in=$(jq '[.agents // {} | to_entries[] | .value.tokens_in // 0] | add // 0' "$stateFile" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
total_out=$(jq '[.agents // {} | to_entries[] | .value.tokens_out // 0] | add // 0' "$stateFile" 2>/dev/null || echo 0)
total_tok=$((total_in + total_out))
pct=$(awk -v t="$total_tok" -v b="$budget" 'BEGIN{printf "%.1f", t/b*100}')
echo " $org: ${pct}% of $budget token budget used"
done
```

## Quick Action Shortcuts
From the inbox, the user can directly:
```bash
# Approve a pending request:
/mastermind:approvev1 --org <org> --action approve --approval-id <id>
# Stop a running agent:
/mastermind:agents --org <org> --action pause --agent-id <id>
# Check costs:
/mastermind:costs --org <org> --action report
# Set budget:
/mastermind:costs --org <org> --action set-budget --budget-tokens 500000
```
---
## Step 4 — Return Output
```yaml
domain: ops
status: complete
filter: <filter>
orgs_checked: <N>
pending_approvals: <N>
running_heartbeats: <N>
budget_alerts: <N>
```

## Step 5 — Brain Write (standalone only)
If `caller` is not "command", follow mastermind-protocol/SKILL.md Brain Write Procedure for domain `ops`.
