aif-loop

To automate an iterative generate critique refine loop, this Skill runs structured PLAN, PRODUCE, EVALUATE, CRITIQUE, and REFINE phases. It progressively improves your artifact until it passes defined quality gates or reaches a maximum iteration limit.

A reflex loop for iterative artifact refinement is a structured process that cycles through planning, producing, evaluating, critiquing, and refining. It enforces strict stop conditions and persistent state tracking to converge on a high-quality output.

To set up quality gates for automated workflow evaluation, you must confirm your success criteria and maximum iterations before the loop starts. The Skill enforces these strict stop conditions and records all loop activity to disk for auditability.

Yes, you can use parallel checks during the artifact evaluation phase. The Skill supports parallel execution within the PRODUCE and PREPARE phases, alongside parallel evaluation checks to assess artifact quality efficiently.

Yes, iterative refinement maintains persistent state across multiple sessions. The Skill tracks run history, iterations, and stop conditions on disk, ensuring governance and auditability throughout the entire artifact improvement workflow.

You should use an automated reflex loop instead of manual refinement when you need to converge on a high-quality artifact from a vague prompt. It is ideal for complex projects like API specs, docs, or code requiring strict quality-gated generation.
