llm-self-loop

llm-self-loop is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from OutlineDriven/odin-gemini-cli-extension. It costs 93 tokens per session (875 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of llm-self-loop, Apache-2.0.

A method for changing workflows that depend on human actions in a web interface into command-line and file-based loops that an AI agent can repeat and inspect.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to identify human trigger points, find command-line or API alternatives, save results as structured files, and improve logging or scratchpads so an agent can continue independently.
Why use it?
It removes pauses for button clicks, screenshots, copied results, or other human checks when those steps can be automated.

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

llm-self-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 7d 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 — 54 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

The job: turn workflows that need a human in the inner loop into workflows the LLM closes itself. The two halves are removing the trigger gate and opening observability.

Surface the gate first

Before proposing changes, name the trigger gate explicitly:

  • What action requires a human right now? (button click, screenshot inspection, terminal interaction, web-form submission)
  • What signal does the human provide that the LLM cannot get on its own? (visual confirmation, copy-paste, secret value, eyeball verdict)
  • Where does the result go? (chat memory, screenshot, mental note)

Most loops have one or two gates that, removed, collapse the cycle to seconds. Pick the smallest gate first.

Structural fixes

Web-UI trigger → CLI trigger

If the workflow is gated by clicking in a web app, find or build the equivalent CLI command. Webhooks, REST endpoints, gh / aws / gcloud CLI subcommands, internal just targets — anything programmatically invokable. The LLM can then loop without leaving its session.

Stdout-only output → file-based output

If the workflow's result lives in chat memory or a screenshot, redirect to a file the LLM can read back: structured JSON dumps, markdown reports, append-only logs with addressable offsets. Why: file outputs survive compaction, support diff, and are inspectable by future sessions without replaying context.

Dashboards → structured logs

If verification requires eyeballing a Grafana / Datadog dashboard, surface the same metrics through a CLI query (PromQL, Datadog API, log aggregation tail). Anything that produces a pass/fail/warn verdict the LLM can read.

Eyeball verdicts → contract assertions

If the human's role is "looks right to me", encode the criterion as a test, schema, or assertion. The contract becomes the loop's done-criterion (pair with strict-validation-setup for the bootstrap of those gates).

Trap-or-abandon decision

After the structural fixes above, some steps still cannot be made autonomous — they involve genuine human judgment, external compliance, or capability the LLM lacks. For each remaining gate, apply this rule:
