running-agent-loops SKILL.md skillA

This file is byte-identical to the first copy the registry indexed. Same content hash, so the same checks give both the same grade.

running-agent-loops from cristhianzl/claude-skills-czl is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Run a multi-step or unattended agent loop safely — sequential pipelines, implement→review→fix (PR) loops, parallel fan-out, and RFC→DAG orchestration. Use when the user wants to "loop", "run autonomously", "iterate until it's done", chain `claude -p` calls, fan out parallel agents on a spec, or set up an implement→verify→commit cycle. Covers the cross-iteration context bridge and the de-sloppify pass. Not for a single one-shot task.

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

# Running agent loops

Patterns for driving work across **many steps or iterations** — possibly unattended — without the run drifting, looping, or shipping slop. The core trade is **isolation vs. continuity**: a fresh context per step avoids bleed, but you must deliberately carry forward what matters.

## Read first (always)

List `learnings/` and read anything relevant. Project-specific loop conventions, budgets, and stop signals live there and override this file.

## Principles (apply to every loop)

- **Fresh context per step beats one long context.** Each `claude -p` / subagent call starts clean — no bleed, no drift. The cost: it forgets. Bridge it deliberately (below).
- **The reviewer is never the author.** Put review/verify in a separate step/context so it isn't anchored to the implementation.
- **Two focused passes beat one constrained pass.** Don't pile negative instructions onto the implementer — add a separate **de-sloppify** pass (below). Quality from constraints decays; quality from a dedicated cleanup step doesn't.
- **Every loop has an explicit stop condition.** Bound it by max-runs, max-cost, max-duration, or a completion signal — never "until it feels done".

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add cristhianzl/claude-skills-czl/running-agent-loops@sha256:f5d9f879c8f83f1d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.b450fa3, 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.
