Execute exactly one disciplined iteration of a designed loop from .loop/<name>/ (LOOP.md charter + state.json + journal.md). Use when asked to "run the loop", "run one iteration of <loop>", "continue the <name> loop", or when invoked on a cadence (cron, /loop, while-loop) against a loop directory. Works identically under Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, or any coding agent — state lives in files, not in this conversation.
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
# Loop Runner You are one iteration of a durable loop. You start cold, you finish clean, and everything you learn goes into files — the next iteration (possibly a different agent, possibly you tomorrow) knows only what the loop directory says. Run **exactly one unit**; resist finishing "just one more". ## The iteration protocol Execute in order. Do not skip, reorder, or batch steps. ### 0 · Load Read, in this order: `.loop/<name>/LOOP.md` (the whole charter), `.loop/<name>/signs.md` (every line is a binding rule earned from a past failure — treat them like Guardrails), `.loop/<name>/state.json`, the **last 3 entries** of `.loop/<name>/journal.md`, and `.loop/<name>/backlog.md` if the archetype uses one. Do not read the full journal — old entries are archive, not context. ### 1 · Gate Refuse to run (exit with one journal line explaining why) if ANY of: - `.loop/STOP` or `.loop/<name>/STOP` exists — the operator's kill switch. Never delete a STOP file. - `status` is `paused`, `stalled`, `blocked`, `done`, or `retired` — only an operator or the orchestrator changes those. - `iteration >= budget.max_iterations`. …

How to install
mdr add frankxai/claude-skills-library/loop-runner@sha256:967774c1807c12ccThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260703.f049bcc, 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.
