Patterns for continuous autonomous agent loops with quality gates, evals, and recovery controls.
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. 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
