Autonomous build-verify-fix loop that runs until an explicit Definition of Done passes. Use when named (mini-loop) or when the user says exactly "run a loop".
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
# mini-loop Run any task to completion without mid-loop confirmation. Exit only when every Definition of Done item passes. Pairs with **just-stop**: this skill keeps you looping until DoD passes; just-stop blocks optional polish after that. ## When to use - User names this skill (`mini-loop`) - User says exactly: `run a loop` - Any use case with verifiable exit criteria: greenfield apps, features, refactors, docs, scripts, migrations ## Core principles 1. **DoD is the exit gate** — no "mostly done," no stopping on vibes 2. **Verify after every meaningful change** — don't batch unverified work 3. **Infer verification** — derive checks from the stack/repo; don't wait for the user to list commands 4. **Fast start, ask once** — if goal or DoD is missing/mushy, ask once for only what's missing, then lock and go. No mid-loop confirmation after that (except secrets, credentials, or irreversible destructive action) 5. **Fix forward** — errors and incomplete features re-enter the loop immediately ## Input Brief Users should attach what they can. Minimum useful prompt: ``` Goal: [what to produce] Scope: [in / out — optional] Definition of Done: - [observable check] …

How to install
mdr add nateslabach/skills/mini-loop@sha256:3f894a5861faa795The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260721.2cfc3e2, 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.
