Struct InboxMessage 

pub struct InboxMessage {
    pub id: String,
    pub from: String,
    pub to: String,
    pub content: String,
    pub summary: Option<String>,
    pub timestamp: DateTime<Utc>,
    pub read: bool,
    pub color: Option<String>,
}

A message stored in an agent’s inbox file.

The content field serializes as "content" but also accepts "text" (Claude Code’s native key name) during deserialization.

Fields

id: String

Unique message ID (library extension — absent in native format). Defaults to empty string when parsing native messages without an ID.

from: String

Sender agent name.

to: String

Recipient agent name (library extension — absent in native format; the recipient is implicit from the inbox file name). Defaults to empty string when parsing native messages.

content: String

Plain-text content (may also carry structured JSON). Serializes as "content", deserializes from "content" or "text".

summary: Option<String>

Summary for UI preview (5-10 word description).

timestamp: DateTime<Utc>

ISO 8601 timestamp.

read: bool

Whether the message has been read.

color: Option<String>

Sender’s UI color hint (e.g. "blue", "green", "yellow").
