description: Triage the CHORUS inbox — route aging captures to their canonical homes and log the moves
---

Use the **chorus-memory** skill to run **one-tap Inbox Triage** via the `triage` verb (it reuses the reflect pipeline: classify against the entity index → preview → apply via `capture`, and writes the audit log for you).

```bash
CHORUS="${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/chorus-memory/scripts/chorus.py"
[ -f "$CHORUS" ] || CHORUS=$(ls /sessions/*/mnt/.remote-plugins/*/skills/chorus-memory/scripts/chorus.py 2>/dev/null | head -1)   # CoWork sandbox fallback
python3 "$CHORUS" triage --list --json
# Windows: use `python` or `py -3` if `python3` is not on PATH.
```

1. **List** — the JSON gives each capture as `{line, date, text, age_days}`. Surface the aging ones (≥ ~7 days) to the member and ask which to route.
2. **Propose** — for accepted items, write a proposals JSON with the Write tool (reflect schema: `{"title","kind","body",...}` **plus `"line"`: the original inbox line**, echoed into the audit log). Route per the map: preference/pattern → `semantic` (a preference about the capturing member goes to their own `_agent/members/<member>/preferences.md::Observations` via direct PATCH); project idea → `project` with `--status incubating`; durable fact → `semantic`; person fact → `person`.
3. **Preview, then apply** with the member's go-ahead:

```bash
python3 "$CHORUS" triage proposals.json             # dry-run: classify + preview, writes nothing
python3 "$CHORUS" triage proposals.json --apply     # route via capture + log each move
```

`--apply` records every move in `inbox/processing-log/YYYY-MM-DD.md` (`- <original> → <destination>`) automatically. Do **not** delete the original captures unless the member explicitly asks — the processing log is the audit trail. A proposal that stops at the duplicate gate (exit note in the summary) should be re-proposed with the existing entity's title.
