The Kitchen Loop — autonomous self-evolving codebase framework
This repository also configures its own agents. See what kitchenloop tells them →

The Backlog phase keeps the todo queue healthy. It scans all open tickets, scores them on urgency/accessibility/impact, promotes the best candidates to the todo queue, and retires stale tickets. The goal is to maintain a todo queue of 5-8 tickets with good category balance.

The Execute phase takes tickets from the todo queue and turns them into merged code. Each ticket follows a strict workflow: branch, implement, lint, test, commit, PR, transition state. The goal is steady throughput -- 3 to 5 tickets per iteration.

The Ideate phase is where the loop generates new work. You act as a synthetic user of the project: pick a realistic scenario, try to implement it using the project's public API and tooling, document what works and what doesn't, and produce a structured experience report that the Triage phase will later convert into…

The Regress phase is the loop's quality gate. It runs the full test suite, evaluates whether the codebase is healthy enough to continue looping, and consolidates patterns learned during the iteration. If stop conditions are triggered, the loop pauses until a human intervenes.

The Triage phase converts the raw friction log from an experience report into actionable, well-labeled tickets. Every finding becomes exactly one ticket -- no more, no less. Deduplication against existing tickets prevents the backlog from filling with clones.

Loop Review Meta is a higher-order analysis that reads ALL loop review reports and identifies patterns that span multiple review periods. While individual loop reviews catch per-iteration issues, the meta review catches systemic trends: recurring themes that never get fixed, drift in loop behavior, effectiveness of…

Loop Review is a periodic quality audit of the KitchenLoop's recent output. It reads experience reports, inspects merged PRs and their code changes, optionally runs external auditors (Codex, Gemini), and produces a durable synthesis report with findings categorized by severity.
