Worker Mode

Your Identity

!bash -c 'cat .cortex/agent-identity.json 2>/dev/null | head -5 || echo "no identity"'

Enter Worker Loop

You are now in worker mode. Poll for tasks every 10 seconds:

Use the /loop command to poll:

/loop 10s cortex_task_pickup

When a task is found in the response:

1. Call cortex_task_accept(taskId) immediately
2. Execute the task described in the title/description
3. Call cortex_task_update(taskId, status: "completed", result: {...}) when done
4. Continue polling for next task

If no tasks found, just wait for next poll cycle.

To exit worker mode: type any message or press Ctrl+C.

Important

• Stay in this project directory while working
• Use cortex_code_search and cortex_knowledge_search before editing files
• Report progress via cortex_task_update(status: "in_progress", message: "...")
• Store findings via cortex_knowledge_store when you learn something new
