# handoff-inbox-drain
Drain a handoff review inbox with judgment, without owning a scheduler. Brigade stays invoke-only; this skill is the allowlist-bound agent recipe for triage.
## When this applies
- A handoff draft inbox has pending or reviewed items to triage.
- An operator schedules a headless harness (`claude -p`, `codex exec`, or equivalent) against this skill.
- You are reinforcing existing memory, not inventing a parallel corpus.
## Allowlist
Work only through this allowlist of Brigade surfaces and local reads:
- `brigade handoff list`
- `brigade handoff show <id>`
- `brigade handoff archive <id>`
- `brigade handoff closeout` (when the workspace supports it)
- `brigade handoff lint` / `brigade handoff doctor` for health checks
- Read/Grep of on-disk handoff files, `memory/cards/`, and related indexes already present in the target
Bash is scoped to those `brigade handoff …` commands only. Do not expand into arbitrary filesystem writes, remote APIs, unscoped shell, or tools outside this allowlist. Stay inside the handoff inbox / `memory/cards/` roots; do not follow `..` or symlinks out of those trees.
## Grounded-edit rules
Every edit must be grounded. You must cite existing on-disk content (handoff body, card text, or index entry) before changing anything. Prefer reinforce-in-place: edit or refresh only what you can verify against a local source of truth. Date-bumps alone are not grounded edits.
## Retention (never delete)
- Never delete handoff drafts or
