autoloop

autoloop is a skill for Claude Code from 0xmariowu/builders-dont-cry. It costs 40 tokens per session (1,173 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An automation command for running an already-approved development plan through execution, review, and shipping stages.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use /autoloop after a plan has been approved and still has executable steps remaining.
Why use it?
It reduces repeated manual steps while keeping retries limited and stopping when the workflow repeatedly fails.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

autoloop scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 10d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 120 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

/autoloop

Step 0: Escape Hatch

If builder says 别走流程, 直接做, 简单点, or 不走地图, do not run /autoloop. Acknowledge once and do the smallest direct action.

Exception: the escape hatch does not bypass safety gates for destructive changes, secret access, public upload, deploy, database migration, force push, or irreversible writes.

Contract

/autoloop is an explicit automation wrapper for mature, already-approved plans.

It may run:

/execute -> /verify -> /ship

It must not create a plan, expand scope, choose new dependencies, perform destructive actions, push, open a PR, or publish unless the active plan and /ship both say that action is in scope and builder explicitly approves it.

Preconditions

Before doing anything else:

  1. Resolve the active plan:
    bash ${BDC_HOME:-$HOME/.bdc}/scripts/active-plan-resolver.sh --single
    
  2. Confirm the plan is reviewed or explicitly approved by builder.
  3. Confirm at least one unchecked step remains.
  4. Confirm the plan has executable verify commands.
  5. Confirm no step asks for destructive work without explicit owner approval.

If any precondition fails, stop and report the exact missing condition. Do not downgrade into ad-hoc /execute.

Process

  1. Run /execute on the next unchecked step.
  2. If /execute passes, run /verify on the finished work.
  3. If /verify returns APPROVE, continue until the next boundary or until no unchecked steps remain.
  4. If /verify returns REQUEST_CHANGES, treat it as failure 1 and run one correction loop through /execute.
  5. If the correction loop still fails, or any stage accumulates two failures, stop and run /handoff.
  6. When the plan has no unchecked steps, run /ship for local-first go/no-go. Do not push, publish, or open a PR unless /ship asks for it and builder confirms.

Failure Budget

Event Count
/execute verify failure 1
/verify REQUEST_CHANGES 1
/ship NO-GO with actionable fix 1
Same stage fails again after one correction loop stop

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
