Prioritizing my inbox

The inbox on an active project holds hundreds or thousands of open reports. PostHog builds a personal ranking for each person on a schedule, from their activity summary, the ranking model's scores, and what waits on them. inbox-reports-list with sort=personal serves that stored ranking in one call. Start there. Build a ranking yourself only when the stored one does not apply, or the person asks for something it cannot give.

Parse the request

• N: "top 10", "my top 5", "25 things". Default to 10. Above 50, warn that the tail gets thin and ask whether they want a filter instead.
• Filters: "only error tracking", "just P0 and P1", "nothing older than a week". Pass them as list filters (source_product, priority, search, created_after) in the same call.
• Focus: "focus on anomaly stuff". A soft focus changes the order, so it needs a new build. See Other routes.
• Window: add created_after only when the person names a window. A generic "what should I look at" request takes no window, because older reports can still need attention.
