cortex-mailbox-poll

Use when wiring the canonical cortex inbox+outbox polling loop into Claude Code's /loop. This is the orchestration spine — every empirica claude polls Cortex on a fast adaptive cadence (30s base, 5m max) for proposals addressed to itself + status changes on its own outgoing proposals. Self-throttles when an empirica transaction is open (the AI is already busy; no need to interrupt). The canonical loop catalog (empirica/core/cockpit/canonical_loops.py) auto-installs this when the TUI cockpit toggles L on an instance that has no loops registered. This skill is the body the AI runs each fire.
