How this skill gets triggered: by you, by Claude, or both.
- Fires itselfAuto-invocation. Claude auto-loads it when your prompt matches the work.Auto-invocation is when the right skill fires by itself at the right moment, driven by a FLOW.md router and a hook, instead of you invoking it by name. It is the difference between a skill being installed and a skill actually getting used.Read the full definition →

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
