What This Skill Does
A persistent inbox for agents to leave operators non-urgent but notable messages. The agent writes entries when something warrants attention later, not immediately. The operator checks on their own schedule.
Separates signal from noise by batching non-urgent events into a structured inbox instead of interrupting the operator mid-task with every minor occurrence.
When to use it
- Flagging a payment approval that only a human can authorize
- Recording an unexpected error pattern spotted during a background task
- Logging a high-value account mention for the operator to follow up
- Noting a product milestone the operator would want to know about
- Surfacing an urgent server alert during the next heartbeat check
