Scan a Paperclip user's Mine inbox, classify reversible archive candidates, request checkbox confirmation, and archive only accepted selections. Use when asked to garden, clean up, prune, or tidy a Paperclip inbox without changing issues, branches, or workspaces.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Garden Inbox
Use the bundled script for every stage. Keep the workflow strictly ordered: `scan` → `confirm` → `apply`.
## Safety contract
- Treat `scan` as read-only. It may read inbox, workspace, close-readiness, and local Git metadata only.
- Treat `confirm` as a confirmation-card write only. It must not archive inbox entries or mutate issue fields, branches, or workspaces.
- Run `apply` only after a resolved `request_checkbox_confirmation` interaction. It archives only accepted option IDs that also occur in the originating `candidates.json`.
- Remember that inbox archive state is per-user presentation state. It is reversible and does not change the underlying issue.
- Never substitute issue status changes, branch deletion, workspace cleanup, or issue deletion for inbox archiving.
## Inputs
Require `PAPERCLIP_API_URL` and `PAPERCLIP_API_KEY`. The script strips a trailing `/api` from the URL. It resolves the target user from the run JWT payload's `responsible_user_id`; use `--user-id <uuid>` only for an explicit target override.
Use a run-owned output directory when available:
```bash
RUN_DIR="${PAPERCLIP_RUN_SCRATCH_DIR:-${PAPERCLIP_TASK_SCRATCH_DIR:-.}}/garden-inbox"

How to install
mdr add paperclipai/paperclip/garden-inbox@sha256:654c623635faf67cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260801.70175d5, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
