Finds loops where the user keeps acting as a manual step for agents (retrying, judging output, approving, carrying context, starting the same task by hand, doing the agent's work) and proposes how to lift the user out: delete a stale rule, change a skill / AGENTS.md / playbook, add a script or metric, add a skill or scheduled task, or advise the user. Keeps a private loop ledger and promotes Claude Code auto-memory into artifacts. With a task already in the session, reflects on that session…

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

# Lifting Loops

## Terms

- **Loop**: the same kind of thing the user keeps taking part in.
- **Intervention**: one concrete action the user takes inside a loop. There are six roles:

| Role | What the user does | Typical words |
|---|---|---|
| Retry | Asks the agent to go again after it stalls or fails | "Try again", "continue", 继续 |
| Judge | Says whether output is good, because the agent cannot tell | "Too long", "Is this OK?", "Too forced" |
| Approve | Gives the go-ahead the agent waits for | "Show me the commit plan first" |
| Carry | Hands over context the agent should have found itself | "See that other session", "We fetched this before" |
| Trigger | Starts the same kind of task by hand | The same opening prompt across sessions |
| Stand in | Does something the agent could have done | Logging in, clicking a button, copying files, running a command |

- **Ledger**: `private/ledger.md`, the evidence, status and metric for every loop.
- **Proposal**: `private/proposals/P-NNN.md`, a draft change to a git-tracked file or to the user's habits.
- **Artifact**: the file a loop finally lands in, such as a rule, a script or a skill.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add minimax-ai/mcode-stack/lifting-loops@sha256:722147f5463ad9eb

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.e7307b0, 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.
