Inbox triage

Inbox triage picks the active tasks that still need a decision and shows them one at a time. A task qualifies when it has no assignee, no due, start or snooze date, or neither a priority nor an estimate. A key or button applies the outcome: E sets the due date to today, W sets it to the next Friday, L snoozes the task for two weeks, X archives it and Space skips it.

• Each card shows why it is there, such as no assignee, no due or start date, no priority or estimate, or captured in the last 48 hours
• A progress bar shows how much of the queue you have cleared this session
• Skip changes nothing and sends no request; E, W, L and X change the task

• Triage is opt-in: nothing changes unless you press a decision key or button. E and W set the due date from your own local day: E is today, and W is the next Friday.
• Skipped cards come back the next time you open the page, so skip is not the same as archive.

1. 1Open Inbox triage after a capture or a long break.
2. 2Read the reasons on the card, then decide with one key or button: E, W, L, X or Space.

Does triage change anything if I just look at it?

No. Triage is opt-in and nothing moves until you press a decision key or button. Opening the screen and closing it again leaves every task exactly as it was.

What is the difference between skipping and dismissing?

Skipping is not a decision. A skipped card returns in the next session, which is deliberate: it lets you pass over something you are not ready to judge without losing it. Archiving is the decision that takes it off the list.

Which tasks does triage choose to show me?

The ones that still need a decision: no assignee, no due, start or snooze date, or neither a priority nor an estimate. A task captured in the last 48 hours is flagged as a recent capture only when one of those is also missing. The newest come first, and the same tasks give the same queue.
