name	specloop-agentic-value-loop
description	Run a repeatable, agent-driven workflow enforcing the 7 mandatory phases (Idea, Plan, Implement, Test, Gate, Ship, Reflect) to keep projects improving while maintaining SpecLoop quality standards.

SpecLoop Agentic Value Loop

Use this workflow to transform documented automations into executable Value Loops. A loop is a repeatable iteration that delivers an increment of user value, validated by a non-negotiable SpecLoop "quality gate".

Procedure

1. Idea: Define the value increment for this iteration.
2. Plan: Read cold context (specs, business rules, architecture) and plan the changes. Map out any risks in .specloop/risk-register.md.
3. Implement: Execute the plan securely, adhering to read-only safety when interacting with production and local contexts.
4. Test: Use specloop-scenario or specific test tools to validate the implementation locally.
5. Gate: Run specloop doctor, specloop validate, and any language-specific quality gates (e.g. cargo fmt, npm run lint).
6. Ship: Create the PR/Commit, run specloop report to document the iteration, and ensure changes are integrated.
7. Reflect: Triage findings and document lessons learned for the next iteration.

Rules

• Never skip the Gate phase.
• Use specloop report to track iterations.
• If a gate fails, the loop must return to Implement or Plan.
