Runs a full inbox triage using the knowledge base created by the 'inbox-setup' skill. Light-intake by design (most invocations skip questions and run with KB-default preferences); asks at most 2 grill-me override questions when invocation is outside normal cadence or includes category-skip intent. Searches recent emails, classifies them via the user's taxonomy, researches new senders, generates recommendations, drafts replies (NEVER sends), delivers a report in the user's preferred format, and updates the knowledge base with learnings. Designed to run on a recurring schedule (1-3x daily) or on demand. Triggers: 'triage my inbox', 'inbox triage', 'check my email', 'run email triage', 'process my inbox', 'what's new in my email', 'handle my email', 'email triage', or any variation where the user wants their inbox processed. Requires the inbox-setup skill to have been run first.
