Decision brief
What it does—and where it fits
This is the v1.8+ canonical loop skill name. It supersedes autonomous-loops while keeping compatibility for one release.
Not for
- Tasks that require unconfirmed production actions or broad system permissions.
- Environments where the pinned source and install steps cannot be inspected.
Compatibility matrix
Platform support, with evidence labels
| Platform | Status | Evidence | What to check |
|---|---|---|---|
| Codex | Not declared | No explicit evidence | Portability before use |
| Claude Code | Not declared | No explicit evidence | Portability before use |
| Cursor | Not declared | No explicit evidence | Portability before use |
| Gemini CLI | Not declared | No explicit evidence | Portability before use |
Installation
Inspect first. Install second.
The source command is displayed only when detected. A safe inspection prompt is always available so your agent can explain every action before execution.

List every install step, command, network request, credential, file read/write, external action, and rollback step. Explain whether it fits my task. Do not install or execute anything until I approve.
Workflow
What the source asks the agent to do
- 01
Loop Selection Flow
Review the “Loop Selection Flow” section in the pinned source before continuing.
Review and apply the “Loop Selection Flow” source section. - 02
Combined Pattern
Recommended production stack: 1. RFC decomposition (ralphinho-rfc-pipeline) 2. quality gates (plankton-code-quality + /quality-gate) 3. eval loop (eval-harness) 4. session persistence (nanoclaw-repl)

Permission review
Static risk signals and limitations
No configured static risk pattern was detected
This is not proof of safety. Runtime behavior, indirect dependencies, and hidden external systems are outside the static scan.

Continuous Agent Loop
This is the v1.8+ canonical loop skill name. It supersedes autonomous-loops while keeping compatibility for one release.
Loop Selection Flow
Start
|
+-- Need strict CI/PR control? -- yes --> continuous-pr
|
+-- Need RFC decomposition? -- yes --> rfc-dag
|
+-- Need exploratory parallel generation? -- yes --> infinite
|
+-- default --> sequential
Combined Pattern
Recommended production stack:
- RFC decomposition (
ralphinho-rfc-pipeline) - quality gates (
plankton-code-quality+/quality-gate) - eval loop (
eval-harness) - session persistence (
nanoclaw-repl)
Failure Modes
- loop churn without measurable progress
- repeated retries with same root cause
- merge queue stalls
- cost drift from unbounded escalation
Recovery
- freeze loop
- run
/harness-audit - reduce scope to failing unit
- replay with explicit acceptance criteria
