Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00062 | $0.00777 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00025 | $0.00311 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00012 | $0.00155 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00078 |
Grade A, and why
code-loop 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 3d 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 — 52 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Code Loop
Make the Code stage deterministic: one plan step per turn, recorded in progress.json, bounded by a fix-loop limit the agent cannot reset, on a short-lived branch. AI implements; the Developer steps in only when the limit is reached.
When to Use This Skill
- A Code agent implements a validated
plan.mdand must record each step's result. - A step fails its checks and the failed attempt must be counted against the fix-loop limit.
- Before committing, the agent must prove it is on a short-lived, correctly named branch.
Path resolution
Resolve references/ and scripts/ relative to this skill's install directory (the folder that contains this SKILL.md), not the consumer repository root or the current shell cwd. If the skill was installed under .agents/skills/code-loop/ or .claude/skills/code-loop/, use that base path. Run the scripts from the repository root (so specs/ paths resolve) and write <skill-dir> as that install path.
Workflow
- Read
references/code-loop-contract.mdnow. It is the authoritative source for the loop, theprogress.jsonstate, the fix-loop limit, and the branch rules. - Check the branch before the first commit (use
--base developfor a branch created fromdevelop):
node <skill-dir>/scripts/branch-guard.mjs --git --base main --max-age-days 5
- Drive the loop, one step per turn:
node <skill-dir>/scripts/code-loop.mjs next --dir specs/issue-42
node <skill-dir>/scripts/code-loop.mjs start 1 --dir specs/issue-42
# apply the step's New Code, run its Verification and Bootable Check, then the controls
node <skill-dir>/scripts/code-loop.mjs pass 1 --dir specs/issue-42
# or, when anything fails:
node <skill-dir>/scripts/code-loop.mjs fail 1 --dir specs/issue-42 --reason "AC-2 test returns 200, expected 403"
node <skill-dir>/scripts/code-loop.mjs status --dir specs/issue-42
node <skill-dir>/scripts/code-loop.mjs check-history --dir specs/issue-42 # git: the counters were never lowered (CI runs it too)
What ships with it
6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

code-loop is a skill published in the GitHub repository ALTEN-group/coding-pal (5 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 62 tokens to every session and 777 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-14.
