SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Autonomous AI agent loops often churn without measurable progress, retry the same root cause, stall merge queues, or drift in cost from unbounded escalation. This Skill provides canonical patterns for selecting, combining, and recovering continuous agent loops so long-running automation stays controlled and auditable. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Loop Selection Flow: Routes work to the right loop pattern (continuous-pr, rfc-dag, infinite, or sequential) based on whether you need strict CI/PR control, RFC decomposition, or exploratory parallel generation. - Combined Production Stack: Recommends a layered pipeline of RFC decomposition, code quality gates, an eval harness loop, and session persistence. - Failure Modes & Recovery: Documents common failure modes and a recovery procedure (freeze loop, run harness audit, reduce scope, replay with explicit acceptance criteria). - Use Case: A team running an overnight autonomous coding agent notices repeated retries with no merged PRs; they apply the recovery steps to freeze the loop, audit the harness, and replay only the failing unit with clear acceptance criteria. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to select and run the appropriate continuous loop pattern for your task, applying quality gates and the documented recovery procedure if the loop stalls.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose the right autonomous agent loop pattern?▼

Use the loop selection flow: choose continuous-pr for strict CI/PR control, rfc-dag when RFC decomposition is needed, infinite for exploratory parallel generation, and sequential as the default. The decision starts from your control and decomposition requirements.

What is the recommended production stack for continuous agent loops?▼

The recommended stack combines RFC decomposition via ralphinho-rfc-pipeline, quality gates via plankton-code-quality and /quality-gate, an eval loop via eval-harness, and session persistence via nanoclaw-repl.

How do I recover a stalled or failing agent loop?▼

Freeze the loop, run /harness-audit, reduce scope to the failing unit, then replay with explicit acceptance criteria. This addresses churn without progress, repeated retries with the same root cause, merge queue stalls, and cost drift.

What are common failure modes of autonomous agent loops?▼

Documented failure modes include loop churn without measurable progress, repeated retries with the same root cause, merge queue stalls, and cost drift from unbounded escalation. Each is addressed by the freeze-audit-reduce-replay recovery procedure.

Does continuous-agent-loop replace the autonomous-loops skill?▼

Yes, continuous-agent-loop is the v1.8+ canonical loop skill name and supersedes autonomous-loops. Compatibility with the old name is kept for one release to ease migration.
