loop-library

loop-library is a skill for Codex from Forward-Future/loopy. It costs 65 tokens per session (3,285 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A compatibility alias for Loopy, a system for designing and running bounded feedback loops around repeated engineering work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding repeatable work, recommending or repairing loops, designing new ones through questions, executing them with evidence, and saving project-specific loops.
Why use it?
It lets older instructions continue to use the previous name while retaining the same workflow for discovering, checking, adapting, and running loops.

About the project

Loopy is a library and website of repeatable workflows that help AI agents learn from results and take the next useful step. It is for people and agents designing, finding, adapting, running, and reviewing structured agent workflows. Its catalogue add-ons provide an optional guided skill for working with the published loop collection.

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

loop-library 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 1mo 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.

Loop Library (legacy alias)

loop-library is the compatibility name for Loopy. Complete the user's request with this workflow. Use loopy, $loopy, or /loopy for new installations and explicit invocations.

Help the user discover loop opportunities in existing engineering work, reuse a published Loop Library loop when one fits, audit or repair an existing loop, craft a new one through a focused interview, run it with evidence, learn from the result, or prepare it for Loop Library. Treat a loop as a feedback system with terminal states, not as permission for endless autonomy.

Route the request

Choose the smallest useful path:

  • Discover: Analyze a codebase, coding-thread history, or both for repeated work that can become a bounded loop.
  • Find: Recommend one to three published loops for a stated problem.
  • Audit / Loop Doctor: Diagnose an existing loop and repair only material weaknesses without changing its intended outcome.
  • Adapt: Start from a published loop and replace its thresholds, tools, cadence, owners, or checks without weakening its feedback cycle.
  • Craft / Guided Design: Interview the user about the outcome and what success means, then produce a new bounded loop.
  • Run: Execute an identified loop within the user's authorized scope and return an evidence-backed run receipt.
  • Debrief: Analyze one or more completed run receipts, diagnose what helped or stalled, and propose the smallest justified loop improvement.
  • Save / Reuse: On request, save a delivered loop to the project's LOOPS.md, and reuse saved project loops when they fit a later request.
  • Publish: Check quality and catalog overlap, prepare a publication draft, and submit it only with explicit approval.
  • Find, then craft: Search first. Use the nearest published loop as a scaffold and ask only about the missing decisions.

Do not ask for information the user already supplied. If an audit, run, debrief, or publication target is missing, ask the user to paste, link, or name it. For another vague request, begin with: "What are you trying to accomplish?"

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.
