continuous-agent-loop

Patterns for continuous autonomous agent loops with quality gates, evals, and recovery controls. Use when running an agent loop that must self-check, gate on evals, and recover from failures.

Continuous Agent Loop

This is the v1.8+ canonical loop skill name. It supersedes autonomous-loops while keeping compatibility for one release.

Loop Selection Flow

Start
  |
  +-- Need strict CI/PR control? -- yes --> continuous-pr
  |
  +-- Need RFC decomposition? -- yes --> rfc-dag
  |
  +-- Need exploratory parallel generation? -- yes --> infinite
  |
  +-- default --> sequential

Combined Pattern

Recommended production stack:

RFC decomposition (ralphinho-rfc-pipeline)
quality gates (plankton-code-quality + /quality-gate)
eval loop (eval-harness)
session persistence (nanoclaw-repl)

Failure Modes

loop churn without measurable progress
repeated retries with same root cause
merge queue stalls
cost drift from unbounded escalation

Recovery

freeze loop
run /harness-audit
reduce scope to failing unit
replay with explicit acceptance criteria

verification-loop
Run a six-phase verification of a Claude Code session's work — build, type check, lint, tests with coverage, security grep, and diff review — then produce a PASS/FAIL verification report. Use when verifying work after completing a feature or refactor, before creating a PR, or when quality gates must pass.

review-loop
Iterative worker-reviewer cycle that spawns a critic subagent to score work 1-10 and provide actionable feedback, then revises until a quality gate is met. Use when implementing features, writing specs, reviewing existing code, or completing any task where quality matters more than speed. Trigger phrases: "use review-loop", "polish this", "iterate on this", "/review-loop", "review with feedback loop".
