loop SKILL.md skillB

loop from chan4lk/specclaw is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned

mdr add chan4lk/specclaw/loop@git:20261012.6b78134

Pins git:20261012.6b78134 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Use when asked to loop or iterate a change until every gate is green.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# specclaw loop

**First, run** `specclaw-ensure-init .specclaw` — idempotently creates `.specclaw/` if it doesn't exist (silent if already initialized; auto-inits using the current directory's basename as the project name).

Autonomously drive the change to all-green. The **controller** (`specclaw-loop`) owns every mechanical decision — gate evaluation, signatures, caps, no-progress / regression / oscillation detection, the reward-hack guard, and state/log persistence. This skill only orchestrates the LLM steps: reflect, spawn a fix agent, commit. Follow the controller's JSON verbatim — do not second-guess a `halt`.

## Step 0 — Validate prerequisites

The loop presumes `/specclaw:plan` and at least one `/specclaw:build` pass have already run — it remediates an existing implementation, it does not create one. Confirm the change is built:

```bash
specclaw-validate-change .specclaw <change> verify
```

If it fails (tasks not all complete / no build), tell the user to run `/specclaw:build` first and stop.

Read `loop.enabled` from `.specclaw/config.yaml`:

```bash
grep -A1 '^loop:' .specclaw/config.yaml
```
…

Read the whole file at its exact version.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add chan4lk/specclaw/loop@sha256:1b589a2ba7a3df6f

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.6b78134, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
