Agent Skills: loop-engineering

Design agent loops instead of one-off prompts: scheduled or goal-driven automation, worktree isolation, durable state, skills/policies, connectors/MCP, maker-checker subagents, cost budgets, safety gates, and human approval boundaries. Use when setting up recurring AI engineering workflows, repo maintenance loops, CI/PR/issue triage loops, long-running agents, autonomous or semi-autonomous coding tasks, or when replacing repeated manual prompting with a system that discovers, acts, verifies, records state, and escalates.
