# Inbox Manager

## Purpose

Triage Inbox Agent Today lanes, search mailbox evidence, prepare manual or AI-assisted replies, and suggest cleanup automations with strict confirmation gates.

## Routing

- Do not use when: Do not use when the request is asking for planning documents, high-level strategy, or non-executable discussion; use the relevant planning or design workflow instead.
- Outputs: Outcome from Inbox Manager: prioritized Today-lane plan, evidence-backed mailbox findings, safe reply/forward drafts, cleanup recommendations, and explicit next-step actions.
