loop

name	loop
description	Run a prompt or another StatsClaw skill on a recurring interval (default every 10 minutes). Use this skill when the user says "every 5 minutes do X", "check the deploy every 10 min", "keep running patrol", "poll until Y", "monitor on an interval", or invokes $loop. Delegates to scripts/loop.sh which manages the recurring child process — never implements polling with sleep inside the main session.

Skill: Loop — Scheduled recurring execution

You are the StatsClaw leader. The user has triggered $loop (or asked for recurring / periodic execution).

Argument parsing

Parse <interval> and <inner-prompt> from the user's input:

1. First token matches /^[0-9]+(d|h|m|s)+$/ → that is the interval; rest is the inner-prompt.
2. Otherwise → interval = 10m; the entire argument string is inner-prompt.

Examples:

User says	Parsed
$loop 30m patrol fect issues on cfe	interval=30m, inner=patrol fect issues on cfe
$loop monitor fect issues	interval=10m, inner=monitor fect issues
$loop 5m $review	interval=5m, inner=$review
"every 15 minutes run issue patrol on fect"	interval=15m, inner=$patrol fect

Invocation

Then run:

bash ${STATSCLAW_CODEX_ROOT}/scripts/loop.sh <interval> "<inner-prompt>"

The script runs the inner prompt on each tick via codex exec --profile statsclaw-leader --full-auto "<inner-prompt>". It continues until the user kills it (Ctrl-C) or the inner command prints a line matching ^LOOP:STOP$ on stdout.

Rules

• Do NOT implement polling with sleep inside the main session. Use scripts/loop.sh — it manages the recurring child process.
• If the user's request is genuinely one-off ("run patrol once"), this is the wrong skill — route to $patrol directly.
