Triage — INBOX to Pipeline

Process raw input and route it into the correct pipeline stage.

Pipeline Flow

INBOX.md --> BACKLOG.md (Ideation --> Refining --> Ready) --> TODO-Today.md --> DONE-Today.md

Triage Steps

1. Read INBOX.md — scan for untriaged items (any line without a stage marker)
2. Classify each item:

1. Write the BACKLOG entry with classification tag, brief description, and Next: action
2. Remove from INBOX — item moves, it doesn't copy
3. STOP — never implement during triage

Queue-First Invariant

Even for obvious inline bugs, the sequence is always:
1. Triage -> classify
2. Write queue item (BACKLOG or TODO-Today for hotfix)
3. STOP

Never implement during triage. Never commit without a queue item having existed first.

BACKLOG Entry Format

### [classification] Brief title
Description of the item.
Origin: INBOX (date)
Next: /sc:brainstorm (or appropriate next action)

Hotfix Fast-Track

If classified as [hotfix] (actively blocking):
1. Verify Bug DOR-lite passes (see /agentflow-dor)
2. Move directly to TODO-Today.md as next queue item
3. Skip Ideation/Refining stages

See pipeline.md for full stage definitions.
