loop

name	loop
description	Run a prompt or slash command on a recurring interval (e.g. /loop 5m /foo, defaults to 10m).
agent	build
argument-hint	<interval> <prompt or /command>

Set up a recurring execution loop for the request in $ARGUMENTS.

Parsing

Parse $ARGUMENTS as: [interval] <prompt or /command>

• Interval format: number + unit (s, m, h). Examples: 30s, 5m, 1h.
• If no interval is specified, default to 10m.
• The remainder is the prompt or slash command to execute each tick.

Execution

Use the /loop command infrastructure to start the recurring execution:

1. Parse the interval into milliseconds.
2. Submit the recurring loop with the parsed interval and prompt.
3. Confirm to the user: what will run, how often, and how to stop it.

Examples

• /loop 5m check if the deploy finished — every 5 minutes, check deploy status.
• /loop 30s /verify — every 30 seconds, run the verify skill.
• /loop check the test output — every 10 minutes (default), check test output.

Constraints

• Maximum 500 runs per loop (hard ceiling).
• A tick that fires while the session is busy is skipped (not queued).
• Loops are in-memory and do not survive a restart.
• To stop: the user can end the session or the loop auto-stops after 500 runs.
