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.

Best for

    Not for

    • Tasks that require unconfirmed production actions or broad system permissions.
    • Environments where the pinned source and install steps cannot be inspected.

    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.

    Inspect the Agent Skill "continuous-agent-loop" from https://github.com/affaan-m/ECC/blob/4e973d3eaf92d97f8d2e2d8abb39d8bdc8711b38/skills/continuous-agent-loop/SKILL.md at commit 4e973d3eaf92d97f8d2e2d8abb39d8bdc8711b38. 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

    1. 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.
    2. 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)

    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:

    1. RFC decomposition (ralphinho-rfc-pipeline)
    2. quality gates (plankton-code-quality + /quality-gate)
    3. eval loop (eval-harness)
    4. 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
