continuous-agent-loop

continuous-agent-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Jamkris/everything-gemini-code. It costs 21 tokens per session (261 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of continuous-agent-loop, MIT.

Patterns for running coding agents repeatedly with quality checks, evaluations, saved session state, and ways to recover from failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to design sequential, parallel, exploratory, or pull-request-controlled agent workflows with acceptance criteria and recovery steps.
Why use it?
It helps prevent endless retries, stalled work, uncontrolled costs, and progress that cannot be measured.

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

continuous-agent-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 2d 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.

Origin

This is a copy

97% identical to continuous-agent-loop — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.

What it actually says

Continuous Agent Loop

This is the v1.8+ canonical loop skill name. It supersedes autonomous-loops while keeping compatibility for one release.

Loop Selection Flow

Start
  |
  +-- Need strict CI/PR control? -- yes --> continuous-pr
  |                                    
  +-- Need RFC decomposition? -- yes --> rfc-dag
  |
  +-- Need exploratory parallel generation? -- yes --> infinite
  |
  +-- default --> sequential

Combined Pattern

Recommended production stack:

  1. RFC decomposition (ralphinho-rfc-pipeline)
  2. quality gates (plankton-code-quality + /egc-quality-gate)
  3. eval loop (eval-harness)
  4. session persistence (nanoclaw-repl)

Failure Modes

  • loop churn without measurable progress
  • repeated retries with same root cause
  • merge queue stalls
  • cost drift from unbounded escalation

Recovery

  • freeze loop
  • run /egc-harness-audit
  • reduce scope to failing unit
  • replay with explicit acceptance criteria
Changes

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.
