autonomous-loop

To automate iterative development loops, you create a .claude/tasks.md file describing prioritized tasks, and the skill processes them sequentially with test-first implementation and verification until completion.

Autonomous exit detection works by evaluating safe stop conditions, automatically halting the development loop when all prioritized subtasks are completed or specific exit criteria are met.

The best way to track progress is by reviewing the STATUS block, which reports completed tasks and next steps at the end of each iteration to gauge incremental development.

Yes, you can use this autonomous loop for debugging and test-first implementation, as it prioritizes tasks, writes tests first, and iterates safely until all subtasks are finished.

A limitation of this autonomous loop is that it requires a predefined .claude/tasks.md file to function, and its basic implementation depth may not handle highly dynamic or unstructured development scenarios.

No, you do not need external dependencies to run automated development loops, as this skill operates with zero dependencies and relies solely on your task definitions and exit criteria.
