agent-loop SKILL.md skillA

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

Install it, pinned
mdr add jmagly/aiwg/agent-loop@v3.1.0

Pins v3.1.0 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Detect requests for iterative autonomous agent loops and route to the appropriate loop executor.

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

<!-- AIWG-SKILL-CALLOUT -->
> **Skill access pattern (post-kernel-pivot, 2026.5+)**
>
> Skill names referenced in this document are AIWG skills, **not slash commands**. Most are not kernel-listed and cannot be invoked as `/skill-name` by the platform. Reach them via:
>
> ```bash
> aiwg discover "<capability>"
> aiwg show skill <name> --body
> ```
>
> Only kernel-listed skills (`aiwg-doctor`, `aiwg-refresh`, `aiwg-status`, `aiwg-help`, `use`, `steward`) are directly invokable as slash commands. See [skill-discovery rule](../../../addons/aiwg-utils/rules/skill-discovery.md).

# Agent Loop Skill

You detect when users want iterative autonomous task execution and route to an internal, in-session loop by default. External daemon loops are opt-in and require an explicit request.

## HITL authorization checkpoints

Before any confirmation below, read and apply
[agent-loop authorization checkpoints](../../docs/hitl-authorization.md).
Call `aiwg config authorization check --action-file "$ACTION_FILE" --target "$TARGET_REPO"`
for host-classified effects. Only `auto-authorized` with a signed receipt skips
that workflow prompt; retain existing prompts/refusals otherwise. Platform

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jmagly/aiwg/agent-loop@sha256:36a5df75c0657f9e

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.1.0, 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.
