Agent Loop Design

Use this skill to design repeatable agent workflows that can run manually, on a schedule, or from a hook.

Workflow

1. Define the trigger: manual, file change, schedule, failed check, or user phrase.
2. Define scope, permissions, and stopping criteria before execution.
3. Record evidence: inputs, commands, files touched, outputs, and verification.
4. Make installation reversible with a manifest of every path created.
5. Add a dry-run path and at least one smoke test.
6. Promote the loop only after it passes validation and a human review gate.
