Start a safe, governed autonomous loop from a plain-language goal. Use when the user says /coco-loop, "run an autonomous loop", "keep my build green for N hours", "work on X autonomously for a while", or wants a bounded self-improving loop that proposes fixes and never commits on its own. Turns a vague goal into a readable charter the user confirms, then arms and runs the loop propose-only under the coco-loops governance framework.
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
# coco-loop Turn a plain-language goal into a governed, propose-only loop. You compile the goal into a charter, the person confirms it, and the loop runs under the coco-loops framework: it proposes changes, a separate verifier judges them, and nothing is committed. The loop stops itself when its lifetime cap of active work is spent. The framework enforces an immutable constitution underneath every charter. You cannot write a charter that disables the verifier, commits without approval, edits the constitution, sends content to raw public-cloud endpoints, or runs unattended destructive operations. The `coco-loops charter` command rejects any charter that tries. Do not attempt to work around it. Present the floor to the person as a feature. ## Prerequisites `coco-loops` must be on the PATH. Install it from [coco-research/coco-loops](https://github.com/coco-research/coco-loops): ```bash git clone https://github.com/coco-research/coco-loops pip install -e coco-loops ``` Check with `coco-loops --help`. If it is missing, tell the person how to install it and stop. ## Flow ### 1. Understand the goal …

How to install
mdr add coco-research/coco/coco-loop@sha256:d2ec628799e62f1dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260802.1479e32, 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.
