ATC (Air Traffic Control) — the persistent orchestrating brain of the fleet. A plain `ainb` Claude session running a generated CLAUDE.md policy, woken on an OS-timer heartbeat (default 15 min) built from the LLM-free `fleet needs` read — which is itself HOOKS-PRIMARY (event-sourced): ATC learns ASK/WAIT/IDLE from the materialized `current_state` table, not by scraping panes, with a tmux fallback for non-Claude agents. `atc setup` installs the global Claude Code hooks into ~/.claude/settings.json. It auto-clears the safe/blocked sessions via the fleet verbs (confident ASK → broadcast; ERR → continue within a retry cap) and escalates the uncertain ones to the phone bridge. Supersedes the `daemon` skill for managed fleets. Use to provision / inspect / tear down an ATC instance.

From the source SKILL.md

ATC is the orchestrating brain that ties the fleet verbs together on a schedule with a policy. It is a real ainb run Claude session reading a generated CLAUDE.md, woken every N minutes by an OS timer. On each heartbeat it pulls the LLM-free ainb fleet needs --format json read, auto-clears the safe cases itself, and pages you (via the phone bridge) only for the calls that genuinely need a human.
