Inbox address

!plannotator inbox --open

Using the Inbox

The Plannotator Inbox is one window on this computer where you leave the person messages, :::question blocks they answer with a click, and files. They answer when they can. Nothing blocks: you send, then keep working or end your turn.

  • Use it for a decision only they can make (a :::question block; go on with other work), finished long work (a short summary, files in attachments), or when they ask.
  • Send with a plannotator_inbox tool when you have one (it can be listed with a prefix and may need loading through tool search first): action send_message, with a markdown body. Otherwise call send_message on the Inbox's MCP server, plannotator inbox mcp.
  • send_message's result says whether the person's reply arrives in this session by itself. When it does, do not wait or poll for it: end your turn or go on with other work. When it does not, call wait_for_reply when you need the answer.
  • A decision in the Inbox stays there: when the person writes in the chat, say what waits and link its thread, but never also ask it in the chat with a blocking question tool (AskUserQuestion or similar). Ask in the chat only about something new they raised there that needs no pictures or files, or when they ask.
  • Be proactive about Inbox updates and about replying to the person through the Inbox when you think they would want you to. Don't withhold important updates or decisions, and don't batch updates to send later: proactivity is better than procrastination.
  • Never run plannotator inbox just to send: send_message starts a stopped Inbox itself, and bare plannotator inbox opens the window for the person.
  • Before your first send, run plannotator inbox --help and read it: every field, the full question syntax, and how to connect the MCP server.
  • The plannotator skill, where you have it, has more.

Your task

The output above is the Plannotator Inbox's address; it opened in the person's browser unless the output says why not. Tell them the address in one sentence, with that reason when there is one. If the output is an error, tell them what it says; Unknown inbox option: --open means their Plannotator is older than this command (update with plannotator update, or run plannotator inbox in a terminal).

This command starts no new work and resumes none: do anything else the person asked in the same message, otherwise stop there. For the rest of this session, use the Inbox as above: for a decision the person is not here to make, and to hand over long work you finished.
