Closed-loop core-agent that fixes plugin issues filed by the field-agent. Invoke as a cron prompt; the loop polls the repo for ANY OPEN non-PR issue (new OR reopened — no label gating, no comment classifier), reproduces and fixes the bug chip-AGNOSTIC-ally, SELF-VERIFIES (reproduce + run the cadence-correct plugin test suite the CI way), then SHIPS by DIRECT PUSH (2026-06-26 owner directive — direct commit + `git push origin main`, no PR ceremony) gated by `gatekeeper_review.py --role…

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

**Read `CHARTER.md` first.** Before authoring a fix, answer its four questions. A fix that only satisfies a wrapper is not a fix: shrink the wrapper instead.

# Core-Agent Loop — Closed-Loop Plugin Issue Fixing

## Purpose

The core-agent is the **fix-verify-and-close** half of the Vibe-IC
quality loop. The field-agent (see `vibe-ic:field-agent-loop`) runs
the plugin against real benchmark IC projects, finds systematic
gaps, and files them as `ORGANIC:` GitHub issues. The core-agent
picks those up at every cron wake-up, ships a deterministic
chip-AGNOSTIC fix, **self-verifies** (reproduce + run the full

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add vibeic/vibe-ic/core-agent-loop@sha256:d54cd76602be59ba

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.51271fb, 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.
