# Decision Queue

> An AI-first inbox as a queue of decisions: each email that needs you becomes the question it asks, with answers an agent already drafted, scheduled or filed. Pick with 1–9, send with ⌘↵, steer a draft in a sentence, put it off or hand it to an agent. Done items fold above with Undo, and decisionsToMarkdown gives agents the same queue as tool calls.

## Props

Other props pass through to the root element.

| Prop | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `decisions` (required) | `Decision[]` |  |  |
| `agents` | `MailAgent[]` | `DEFAULT_AGENTS` |  |

## Install

One-time setup (needs a subscription):

1. Add the registry to the project's `components.json`: `{"@assembli":{"url":"https://www.assembli.design/r/{name}.json","headers":{"Authorization":"Bearer ${ASSEMBLI_API_KEY}"}}}` (merge into `"registries"`).
2. Put an API key from https://www.assembli.design/account in `.env.local` as `ASSEMBLI_API_KEY=asm_…`.

Then install with the shadcn CLI (writes `components/decision-queue/decision-queue.tsx` and installs dependencies):

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add @assembli/decision-queue
```

Registry item JSON: https://www.assembli.design/r/decision-queue.json (send `Authorization: Bearer <api key>`)

## Code

> Component source needs an Assembli subscription ($12/month or $96/year) and an API key sent as `Authorization: Bearer <key>`. To get one without copying anything, POST https://www.assembli.design/api/agent/login (or call the MCP tool connect_account), show the user the link it returns, and poll https://www.assembli.design/api/agent/token for the key. Or subscribe at https://www.assembli.design/pricing and create a key at https://www.assembli.design/account.
