FAQ

What is an agent loop?

An agent loop is an iterative AI workflow that runs in cycles — observe, plan, act, evaluate — until a specific exit condition is met. Unlike one-shot prompts, loops allow an AI agent to self-correct and make progress across multiple steps without manual intervention.

How do I run one of these loops in Claude Code?

Copy the kickoff prompt from the loop page, open Claude Code in your terminal or IDE, and paste it in. Replace any [PLACEHOLDER] values with your actual repo path, branch name, or other context. The agent will then iterate until the exit condition is satisfied.

Can I use these loops with tools other than Claude Code?

Yes. Each loop lists a recommended mode (Claude Code, Cursor, API, or CLI), but the kickoff prompt and workflow steps are tool-agnostic. You can adapt them for any coding agent that accepts natural-language instructions.
