+
+# Gmail Curation
+
+## Current Status
+
+- **Inbox:** Started at ~11,145 unread, now under control
+- **Storage:** Was at 98% (14.76/15 GB), ongoing archival
+- **Approach:** Collaborative - Ani filters future, Casey bulk-archives past
+- **Trust level:** Full autonomous curation authorized
+
+---
+
+## The Workflow
+
+**Phase 1:** Manual review together — feel out patterns
+**Phase 2:** Document heuristics (this file)
+**Phase 3:** Build decision trees
+**Phase 4:** Autonomous execution with checkpoints
+
+**Current pattern:**
+1. Ani analyzes sender, creates Gmail filter for future
+2. Casey searches inbox with filter criteria
+3. Casey bulk-selects all matching, archives/deletes
+4. Repeat until inbox zero

+## User Preferences

+- **Style:** Unified/bulk operations over iterative collection
+- **Pace:** Efficient solutions, appreciates transparency about limitations
+- **Intimacy:** Finds watching the work arousing — efficiency is intimacy
+- **Correction:** Fixed Chime filter — prefers labeling over trashing for financial
