triage-messages skillA

triage-messages is agent-read markdown (skill) from techwolf-ai/ai-first-toolkit: Batch-processes Slack messages and emails to surface what needs the manager's attention, categorised by urgency and type. Designed for batch-responder managers who do Slack sweeps rather than staying in reactive mode. Supports effective communication and responsiveness. Never drafts replies, only surfaces and prioritises..

Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.

What the file says

# Triage Messages

> **Principle: "You are responsible."** This skill surfaces and categorises. The manager decides what to act on and how.

Scans unread Slack messages and recent emails, categorises them by urgency and type, and presents a prioritised overview.

## When to Use

- Morning routine: catch up on what happened overnight
- After a block of focus time or meetings
- When the manager says "what did I miss?", "catch me up", "triage my messages"
- Can be scoped to a time window: "triage since yesterday", "triage last 2 hours"

## Instructions

If any MCP connector is unavailable, follow the connector unavailability protocol in `references/operating-principles.md`.

### 1. Determine Time Window

Default: since the manager's last likely check-in (use calendar to estimate, if they were in back-to-back meetings for 3 hours, scan those 3 hours).

If specified: use the provided time window.

If unclear, ask:
```
What time period should I triage? Options:
- Since this morning
- Last [N] hours
- Since yesterday
- Custom range
```

### 2. Load Manager Context

Read from `manager-context/` (if available):
