continuous-agent-loop

continuous-agent-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from majiang213/OpenClaw-MAS. It costs 21 tokens per session (256 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of continuous-agent-loop, MIT.

A skill for designing continuous autonomous coding-agent loops with quality checks, evaluations, and ways to recover from failures.

In plain words
What is it for?
It supports sequential, exploratory, RFC-based, or strict pull-request loops, with quality gates, evaluation cycles, session persistence, and failure recovery.
Why use it?
It helps address stalled loops, repeated failures, uncontrolled retries, and rising costs by choosing a loop pattern and recovery action.

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 5d 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

84% identical to continuous-agent-loop — 11 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 + /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 /harness-audit
  • reduce scope to failing unit
  • replay with explicit acceptance criteria

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.
