The inbox folder to sweep.

What it tells the AI to do

Set up a recurring folder sweep.

- Folder: {{ folder | mention }}
- Runs: {{ schedule.human }} ({{ schedule.timezone }}), cron `{{ schedule.cron }}`

Create it with `automation create`, passing the cron and timezone verbatim.

Each run: read what is new in the folder and turn anything that implies work
into a task, with a title someone could act on without opening the file, and a
link back to it.

Not everything is a task. A document that is reference material is reference
material; filing it as a task puts noise in the one list that has to stay
trustworthy. When you are not sure, leave it and say you left it.

Never create the same task twice: record what you have already filed.
