ceo-loop SKILL.md skillA
ceo-loop from nxtg-ai/forge-plugin is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

CEO Decision Loop — the ORBIT execution protocol (OBSERVE → REASON → BUILD → INSPECT → TURN) for one iteration of NXTG-Forge autonomous product governance. Preloaded into the nxtg-ceo-loop agent and started by the /nxtg-forge:ceo-loop command; the ceo-loop-stop.sh Stop hook re-invokes it each iteration until the queue empties or limits hit. Use when running or resuming a CEO-LOOP: classify pending decisions by depth, apply the impact×reversibility matrix, write the append-only decision journal…
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
# CEO Decision Loop — ORBIT Protocol
## Overview
The CEO-LOOP ORBIT model turns the CEO agent from a single-pass decision oracle into a **continuous governance engine**. Each invocation of this skill is one ORBIT iteration. The Stop hook (`ceo-loop-stop.sh`) re-invokes this skill after each iteration until the queue is empty or limits are reached.
**Five contributions ORBIT adds to CEO-LOOP:**
1. **Actual loop mechanism** — Stop hook + state file, not pseudocode
2. **Cross-context continuity** — progress file bridges compaction
3. **Iteration tracking + retrograde** — was the last decision correct?
4. **Adaptive depth** — ESLint fix in 30s, architecture in 15 min with Agent Teams
5. **Trust calibration** — accuracy tracked, demotion alert surfaces to human
---
## State Files (all in `$PROJECT_ROOT/.claude/`)
These are written and read by the loop. **Never modify manually during an active loop.**

How to install
mdr add nxtg-ai/forge-plugin/ceo-loop@sha256:a93de35616cd734cThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261007.7682d9b, 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.
