About this skill

OmniFocus Inbox Triage

Process inbox items interactively, assigning projects, tags, and actionable names.

Workflow

1. Gather Context

# Get inbox items
of inbox list

# Get available projects and tags
of project list | jq '.[].name'
of tag list | jq '.[].name'

2. Process Each Item

For each inbox item, use AskUserQuestion to ask the user what to do. Suggest a project and tag based on the item's content.

Question format:

  • Header: Short identifier (2-3 words max)
  • Question: Describe the item and suggest categorization
  • Options: Project → Tag combinations, Delete, Skip

Example:

Item: "Doorbell chime mount"
Header: "Doorbell"
Question: "Item: 'Doorbell chime mount' - Sounds like a home project. Does this fit?"
Options:
  - "Home Projects → Home" - Move to Home Projects with Home context
  - "Home Projects → Errands" - Need to buy something first
  - "Delete" - Not needed
  - "Skip" - Leave in inbox for now

3. Apply Changes

Based on user response:

Move to project with tag and rename:

of task update "<task-id>" --project "<Project>" --tag "<Tag>" --name "<Actionable name>"

Delete:

of task delete "<task-id>"

Skip: Move to next item without changes.

Task Naming

Rename vague items to actionable descriptions using imperative verbs:

OriginalActionable
"Curtains""Hang curtains"
"Doorbell chime mount""Install doorbell chime mount"
"Chicken squad yoto""Make Chicken Squad Yoto cards"
"Dr. Smith 555-1234""Call Dr. Smith"

Common Projects

Suggest based on item content:

  • Home Projects - House tasks, repairs, installations
  • Miscellaneous - General personal tasks
  • Work - Job-related items
  • Gifts - Presents for others
  • Kids - Child-related tasks
  • Church/CDM - Ministry-related items

Common Tags (Contexts)

Suggest based on how/where the task is done:

  • Computer - Online tasks, digital work
  • Phone - Calls to make
  • Errands - Out-of-house tasks, shopping
  • Home - Tasks done at home
  • Waiting - Waiting on someone else

Summary

After processing all items, report:

  • Items processed

  • Items deleted

  • It relies on user interaction for processing decisions
