# Processing Intake Jobs

An intake job means new items have arrived in the inbox and need triage.

## Steps

1. Read this job card to find the referenced items (each entry in
   `items:` has a `ref` pointing to an inbox card)
2. Check for an applicable guide — see the compiled reference in
   `_content/docs/generated/` if available
3. Read each referenced item to understand what it is
4. For each item, follow the guide's triage rules and actions. Without
   a guide:
   - **Move** to a permanent location under `_content/` if it's worth
     keeping
   - **Trash** with `bbx rm <path>` if it's not useful
   - **Ask** the user a question if you need guidance (create a
     question card)
5. When all items are triaged, commit your work
6. Run `bbx finish {thisJobFile}` to complete the job

## Important

- Commit your work as you go
- The `bbx finish` command only deletes the job file — make sure your
  actual work is committed first
- Read items before deciding — don't judge by filename alone
