autonomous-loops

autonomous-loops is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from New1Direction/korgex. It costs 26 tokens per session (5,529 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of autonomous-loops, MIT.

Patterns for running Claude Code repeatedly with little or no human intervention. They range from simple step-by-step scripts to workflows where several agents coordinate their work.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to automate development steps, run continuous coding workflows, coordinate multiple agents, or build CI/CD-style processes.
Why use it?
It helps turn one-off agent commands into repeatable development pipelines with saved context, quality checks, and coordination between parallel tasks.

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

autonomous-loops 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

100% identical to autonomous-loops — 0 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.

Autonomous Loops Skill

Compatibility note (v1.8.0): autonomous-loops is retained for one release. The canonical skill name is now continuous-agent-loop. New loop guidance should be authored there, while this skill remains available to avoid breaking existing workflows.

Patterns, architectures, and reference implementations for running Claude Code autonomously in loops. Covers everything from simple claude -p pipelines to full RFC-driven multi-agent DAG orchestration.

When to Use

  • Setting up autonomous development workflows that run without human intervention
  • Choosing the right loop architecture for your problem (simple vs complex)
  • Building CI/CD-style continuous development pipelines
  • Running parallel agents with merge coordination
  • Implementing context persistence across loop iterations
  • Adding quality gates and cleanup passes to autonomous workflows

Loop Pattern Spectrum

From simplest to most sophisticated:

Pattern Complexity Best For
Sequential Pipeline Low Daily dev steps, scripted workflows
NanoClaw REPL Low Interactive persistent sessions
Infinite Agentic Loop Medium Parallel content generation, spec-driven work
Continuous Claude PR Loop Medium Multi-day iterative projects with CI gates
De-Sloppify Pattern Add-on Quality cleanup after any Implementer step
Ralphinho / RFC-Driven DAG High Large features, multi-unit parallel work with merge queue

1. Sequential Pipeline (claude -p)

The simplest loop. Break daily development into a sequence of non-interactive claude -p calls. Each call is a focused step with a clear prompt.

Core Insight

If you can't figure out a loop like this, it means you can't even drive the LLM to fix your code in interactive mode.

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.

autonomous-loops is a skill published in the GitHub repository New1Direction/korgex (5 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 26 tokens to every session and 5,529 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 100% identical to autonomous-loops, differing in 0 lines, and is treated as a copy.
