Patterns for running continuous autonomous agent loops with quality gates, evaluation, and recovery controls.
- What it does
- This skill documents patterns for continuous autonomous agent loops, including a loop-selection flow that chooses between continuous-pr, rfc-dag, infinite, and sequential modes. It lists a recommended production stack combining RFC decomposition, quality gates, an evaluation loop, and session persistence. It also catalogs failure modes such as loop churn and repeated retries, and describes recovery steps including freezing the loop and replaying with explicit acceptance criteria.
- When to use it
- Use it when designing or operating a continuous autonomous agent loop and deciding which loop variant fits the work. It is also useful when a running loop stalls, churns, or needs a defined recovery procedure.
