name: attention-digest
description: On-demand inbound triage — scan the owner's live comms (mail, chat, calendar, meetings, expense) and return "what needs me" ranked into four buckets (Needs you now · Hanging · Direct-report watch · Worth knowing), read-only, then write a dated note and deliver the brief (in chat; by email where a mail send is configured). Use when the owner says "what needs me", "what's on fire", "triage my inbox / my attention", "what am I missing", or "who's waiting on me". NOT the scheduled morning digest (that's the outbound daily digest / the digest-now skill), and NOT for filing pasted content (vault-ingestion). Requires the attention-digest module.

# attention-digest — folder-root adapter

The real playbook lives in the brain: **`Agent/skills/attention-digest.md`** (this folder
is the vault root). Read that file and follow it exactly as written, using the
shipped CLI at `.alexandria/app/.venv/bin/alexandria` wherever it says
`alexandria`, and `.alexandria/app/.venv/bin/python` for
`python -m alexandria_vault.…` entrypoints.

If `Agent/config.json` does not exist, nothing is installed yet — stop and
follow `./CLAUDE.md` (the installer) instead of this skill.
