Autonomous Loop Skill | Agent Skills

Autonomous Loop

Main orchestration loop that runs continuously until all features are complete.

Quick Start

Start Autonomous Loop

from scripts.autonomous_loop import AutonomousLoop

loop = AutonomousLoop(project_dir)
result = await loop.run()

print(f"Completed: {result.features_completed}")
print(f"Sessions: {result.sessions_used}")

With Configuration

from scripts.loop_config import LoopConfig

config = LoopConfig(
    max_sessions=10,
    token_budget=500000,
    auto_checkpoint=True
)
result = await loop.run(config)
