What problem does it solve?
The autonomous-loop Skill bootstraps a repeatable self-improvement workflow so a project can iteratively improve across short cycles without relying on chat scrollback or manual bookkeeping.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Project memory scaffolding: Creates and seeds a
memory/ directory with the exact log, themes, predictions, blocklists, and HUMAN override files the loop uses.
- Counter-action discipline and health signals: Establishes pre-flight checks (recent errors, HUMAN override, blocklist, theme escalation, soft-failure root-fixing) plus null-result and self-modification metrics to keep quality stable.
- Operational control surface: Writes instructions for stopping, pausing, monitoring, and resetting the loop, while tracking loop status in the local Claude state file.
Use case: If you want this repo to repeatedly investigate weaknesses (rather than just ship work) and periodically escalate recurring themes, run autonomous-loop once to install the loop’s operating system.
Quick Start
Run: "Install the autonomous self-improvement loop in this project and use a 2-minute interval cadence."
