SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

The dev-loop skill eliminates the heavy overhead of manually wiring and running repeatable development loops across projects, ensuring consistent harness setup and progress tracking.

Core Features & Use Cases

Provides an Init phase that auto-generates a complete harness (CLAUDE.md, architecture.md, .devloop/task.json, config.json, and helper scripts) for a new project.
Drives a Run phase that headlessly executes tasks with strict verification, two-stage prompting, and guarded commits to ensure auditability.
Supports a reusable, script-driven workflow with gates and persistent state so teams can scale the harness across multiple projects.

Quick Start

Start a project with /dev-loop init to generate the harness, then run /dev-loop run to begin headless task execution.

FAQPage Schema

How do I set up an automated development loop for my project?▼

To set up an automated development loop, generate a complete harness with configuration and helper scripts using an init phase, then execute headless tasks through a run phase with automated verification and guarded commits.

What is a headless development loop and how does it work?▼

A headless development loop drives task execution automatically through a script-driven harness, using strict gating, two-stage prompting, and persistent state to ensure reliability and auditability without manual intervention.

Can I use PowerShell to drive automated workflow verification and commits?▼

Yes, you can use PowerShell within a script-driven workflow to enforce strict gating, execute automated verification, and manage guarded commits for reliable, auditable task progression.

What's the best way to scale repeatable development workflows across multiple projects?▼

The best way to scale repeatable workflows is using a reusable, script-driven harness with persistent state and structured artifacts, ensuring consistent setup and automated progress tracking across projects.

Do I need to manually wire task verification for each automated workflow?▼

No, you do not need to manually wire task verification; the automated harness generates structured artifacts and helper scripts that enforce strict gating and automated verification during execution.

Why does my automated task execution require strict gating and persistent state?▼

Automated task execution requires strict gating and persistent state to ensure reliability and auditability, preventing unverified changes from being committed and maintaining progress tracking across the workflow.
