Loop Engineering

Stop prompting. Design the loop. Get a score.

npx @cobusgreyling/loop init . --pattern daily-triage --tool claude
npx @cobusgreyling/loop doctor .

--tool defaults to claude if you omit it. Swap for grok, codex, or opencode. Week one is report-only.

You design a system that discovers work, hands it to agents, verifies results, and persists state — instead of typing the next prompt yourself.

New here? Quickstart · Refactor a project · Thin GitHub Action loop (no STATE.md required)

What do you want to do?

This is a pattern library for operating agents around a codebase. It is not a “rewrite the module” button.

I want to…Start here
Keep the repo healthy (issues, CI, deps)Quickstart → daily-triage

Getting started

npx @cobusgreyling/loop init . --pattern daily-triage --tool claude
npx @cobusgreyling/loop doctor .
npx @cobusgreyling/loop cost --pattern daily-triage --level L1

Empty repo → first STATE.md walkthrough: scripts/empty-to-state-demo.sh.

Roll out L1 report → L2 assisted → L3 unattended only after the verifier has been right for a week. See loop-design-checklist.

Loop Ready now weights recent runs harder than files on disk. A 30-day-old STATE.md is not L3.

Operating & safety

Failure modes · Anti-patterns · Safety · Operating loops · Stories (wins and failures)

Loop engineering amplifies judgment. Token costs can explode. Unattended loops make unattended mistakes. Read what the loop ships.

Help wanted

Docs and small PRs: first response within 48 hours.

See CONTRIBUTING.md.

Unified front door: npx @cobusgreyling/loop (init · doctor · status · audit · cost). Older packages (loop-init, loop-audit, …) stay supported.

Companions exist for later: memory-engineering, harness-foundry, outerloop, fleet-engineering, goal-engineering. Do not add them until a loop has actually run.
