Autonomous Loop Patterns

Agent skill
1 skill

This skill consolidates autonomous AI agent loop patterns: the Ralph Wiggum exit-code-2 pattern, our manage-loop (manage-continuation.json + manage-loop-hook.py), grind-loop.sh supervisor, completion detection strategies, safety caps, stall detection, and the tradeoffs between simple loops and sophisticated orchestration. Use when designing or debugging autonomous agent loops, choosing between loop approaches, or implementing safety limits. Do NOT use for choosing which command to run (use ai-coding-agents) or for task management (use linear).

Install with

Supported by the Atlas install prompt. Skill-specific requirements vary.
