ClawFlow inbox triage

This is a concrete example of how to think about ClawFlow without turning the core runtime into a DSL.

Goal

Triage inbox items with one owner flow:

• business → post to Slack and wait for reply
• personal → notify the owner now
• everything else → keep for end-of-day summary

Pattern

1. Create one flow for the inbox batch.
2. Run one detached task to classify new items.
3. Resume the flow when classification completes.
4. Route each item in the calling logic.
5. Persist only the summary bucket and the current wait target.

Suggested flow outputs

• business_threads
• personal_items
• eod_summary

Minimal runtime calls

const flow = createFlow({
  ownerSessionKey,
  goal: "triage inbox",
});

runTaskInFlow({
  flowId: flow.flowId,
  runtime: "acp",
  task: "Classify inbox messages",
  currentStep: "wait_for_classification",
});

resumeFlow({
  flowId: flow.flowId,
  currentStep: "route_items",
});

appendFlowOutput({
  flowId: flow.flowId,
  key: "eod_summary",
  value: { subject: "Newsletter", route: "later" },
});
