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

Set up and launch a disciplined lights-off loop — gate readiness, define the goal/verifier/stop contract, hand off to a loop mechanism, review at halt. For convergent work with a verifier that can be trusted. The convergent + autonomous counterpart to michi-expedition.
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
# Michi Loop Run a task as an autonomous, lights-off **loop** — the agent works unattended, checks its own output against a verifier, and stops on a defined condition — *with Michi discipline around it.* This skill is **discipline over mechanism**. It does not run the loop; Claude Code already ships the runners (`/loop`, `/goal`, `claude -p`, `Workflow`). What it adds is the judgment the loop-engineering literature skips: *have you earned lights-off, what does "done" mean, what checks the work, and when does it stop?* You are invoked once, as the **designer and launcher** of a loop — not its body. It is the **convergent + autonomous** lane — the sibling of `michi-expedition` (emergent + Entrusted-spiral). The boundary between them is the *form of verification you can answer* (see the Gate). **Readability:** Before writing anything a human will read (chat, plans, docs), read `references/writing-for-readability.md`. **Principles:** Before starting, read `references/principles.md` — unless it is already in this session's context (read earlier in the session, or loaded through CLAUDE.md). ## When to use (and when not) …

How to install
mdr add csepulv/michi/michi-loop@sha256:861d61f640a768d2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261106.9667115, 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.
