name	programmers-loop
description	Operate durable Assignment, Program, and ExecPlan loops in repositories using Programmers Loop. Use for ambiguous multi-slice work that needs checked-in decisions, bounded execution, critique, recovery, and deterministic acceptance.

Programmers Loop

1. Run programmers-loop standup --github and repair failing prerequisites.
2. Read docs/contracts/assignment.md, program.md, and exec-plan.md.
3. Locate or create the owning Assignment.
4. Use a Program when research, convergence, or multiple ordered slices are required. Otherwise create a standalone ExecPlan.
5. Resolve immutable Program briefs once per child plan with program child-plan; keep its snapshot and receipt.
6. Preview proof commands, then write, lint, grill, execute, and validate each ExecPlan through the explicit-consent CLI phases.
7. Record decisions and discoveries in the durable document as they happen.
8. Refresh the Program after every completed slice; choose the next slice or complete it explicitly.
9. Run programmers-loop planning lint and $verify-programmers-loop before handoff.

Never treat chat history as the sole source of planning truth. Never execute commands from a plan without explicit authority and the configured safety boundary.
