continuous-agent-loop

SKILL.md

Decision framework for autonomous agent loops with quality gates, evals, and recovery patterns.

Four loop modes available: continuous-pr for CI/PR workflows, rfc-dag for RFC decomposition, infinite for exploratory parallel generation, and sequential as default

Recommended production stack combines RFC decomposition, code quality gates, eval harness, and session persistence for robust autonomous execution

Built-in failure mode detection covers loop churn, repeated retries, merge queue stalls, and cost drift with explicit recovery procedures

Recovery workflow includes loop freezing, harness audits, scope reduction, and replay with acceptance criteria to handle degraded states

Continuous Agent Loop

This is the v1.8+ canonical loop skill name. It supersedes autonomous-loops while keeping compatibility for one release.
