SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps coordinate long-running autonomous development loops without losing control, so agentic work stays measurable, recoverable, and aligned with quality gates.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Loop selection guidance: Chooses the right loop pattern for strict CI/PR control, RFC decomposition, exploratory parallel generation, or a default sequential flow.
  • Production workflow composition: Recommends combining RFC decomposition, quality gates, eval loops, and session persistence for robust execution.
  • Failure recovery: Identifies common loop failures such as churn, repeated retries, merge stalls, and cost drift, then suggests freezing scope and auditing the harness.
  • Use case: A developer running an autonomous implementation cycle can use this Skill to decide when to switch patterns, how to gate progress, and how to recover from stalled execution.

Quick Start

Use the continuous-agent-loop skill to choose the safest loop pattern for my task and tell me how to recover if progress stalls.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an autonomous agent loop without losing control of the workflow?

To run a controlled autonomous agent loop, apply quality gates, evaluation checkpoints, and persistence controls. This prevents churn, stalls, and cost drift during long-running execution cycles.

What is the best way to recover an autonomous loop when progress stalls?

To recover a stalled autonomous loop, freeze the current scope and audit the execution harness. This addresses common failures like repeated retries, merge stalls, and cost drift.

How do I choose the right agent workflow pattern for CI-gated delivery?

For CI-gated delivery, select a strict CI/PR control loop pattern. Alternatively, use RFC-driven decomposition, exploratory parallel generation, or a default sequential flow based on your specific task.

When do I need evaluation checkpoints in an autonomous development cycle?

Evaluation checkpoints are needed throughout an autonomous development cycle to keep work measurable and aligned with quality gates. They prevent uncontrolled churn and ensure progress remains recoverable.

Why does my autonomous agent workflow experience cost drift and repeated retries?

Cost drift and repeated retries in an agent workflow occur due to missing quality gates and persistence controls. Freezing scope and auditing the harness helps realign the execution loop.

Does continuous-agent-loop support RFC-driven decomposition for production workflows?

Yes, continuous-agent-loop supports RFC-driven decomposition. It recommends combining it with quality gates, eval loops, and session persistence to compose robust production workflows.
