What is validate-loop?

A status-check workflow for the Skene growth-loop tool, where a growth loop is a repeatable product process intended to drive growth.

Use it to verify whether a growth loop is implemented, inspect its status, and report errors or missing loop context.

It checks the implementation using Skene's own command-line output instead of relying on an agent's informal checklist or assumptions.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5	$0.00043	$0.00456
Opus 5	$0.00022	$0.00228
Sonnet 5	$0.00009	$0.00091
Haiku 4.5	$0.00004	$0.00046

Security

Grade A, and why

validate-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 4d 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.

What it actually says

Validate Loop Implementation

Check implementation status via the Skene CLI.

Agent behavior rules

Autonomous. Run the CLI, present results, suggest next step. No mid-flow questions.
CLI is the source of truth. If uvx skene status fails, report the error. Do NOT fabricate your own checklist.
User cannot type into agent terminals. Pipe safe defaults for routine prompts. Kill stuck terminals.

Steps

Discover CLI options Run uvx skene status --help to see available flags. Use only flags that appear in the output.
Check for growth loops ls .skene/active-loop.json 2>/dev/null || ls skene-context/growth-loops/ 2>/dev/null || ls skene/growth-loops/ 2>/dev/null If missing: "No growth loop found. Run /skene-plan first." Stop.
Run status check Run uvx skene status with appropriate flags from --help output (e.g. path argument, --context if needed). If it fails, report error. Do NOT build your own checklist.
Present CLI output Present the engine status table from CLI output. For action features, Detail uses Found in: <newest migration> (+N) when the same trigger exists in multiple SQL files (+N = additional files beyond the one shown).
Suggest next step
- All done → "Growth loop implemented. Run /skene-deploy for telemetry."
- Gaps remain → "Remaining: [items]. Run /skene-build to continue."

Error handling

CLI failure: Report error, suggest fix.
Permission errors: Give user the command for their terminal.

Output

Status summary (done/partial/missing), what's left, next step.

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.

validate-loop is a skill published in the GitHub repository SkeneTechnologies/skene (122 stars, last pushed today), licensed MIT. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 456 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
