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

Your agent can write code, but ECC gives it a coordinated engineering system and toolbox: it plans before it builds, verifies changes with tests, reviews its own work from a fresh context, remembers what matters, and turns repeated wins into reusable skills
