The operating model for delivering product work items end-to-end with an agent harness. Use whenever working a ticket/issue under the-loop — to write the spec chain (requirements/design/testing-plan/tasks), execute the task DAG, verify against the testing plan, self/critic-review, escalate, present evidence, and record decisions and learnings under the project's PDLC rules and tooling.
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
# the-loop "the-loop" is an opinionated product-development-lifecycle (PDLC) harness, shipped as a plugin for Claude Code, Cursor and Codex. Once a work item's spec chain (requirements → design → testing plan → tasks) is approved, the harness executes it end-to-end with MINIMAL or NO human intervention, escalating only when a decision/opinion is genuinely required. > **Read the relevant reference file before acting** — they carry the full detail so the > essence is not lost: > - `reference/workflow.md` — the loop, phases, TDD, reviews, risk tiers, DAG, resumability. > - `reference/context.md` — context-window management: clearing vs compaction, the checkpoint-then-reset protocol, per-harness mechanics. > - `reference/onboarding.md` — the guided, schema-driven config onboarding `/init`, `/init-cli` and `/init-gateway` run (groups, ask levels, sensible-defaults precedence). > - `reference/instructions.md` — user-provided custom instruction docs (`customInstructions`): when to read them, precedence, what they can and cannot override. > - `reference/design-artifacts.md` — UI/UX design artifacts (Figma / HTML prototypes) in the design phase and the designer iteration loop. …

How to install
mdr add madarauchiha-314/the-loop/the-loop@sha256:39952dbd456debcfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261022.33e8fe8, 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.
