Bound an iterative fix-and-retry cycle before it starts and stop it when it stops making progress: audit the loop contract, declare the iteration cap and stop conditions, tick every iteration with its evidence, read the host transcript for repeating error signatures and overlapping hunks, check whether blaming the model is supported, and close the loop as finished or cut off. Use when the same failing test is being retried, edits keep landing on the same lines, or an agent has looped past its…

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

# Godmode Loop Warden

## Outcome

Every retry cycle runs under a declared cap with named stop conditions, each
iteration leaves a tick with its evidence, a stalled cycle is stopped at the
cap rather than at exhaustion, and the close says finished or cut off with
the evidence that decides which.

## Use

- The same failing test or build error is being retried with small edits.
- Edits keep landing on the same lines or hunks with nothing new asserted.
- An agent has run more iterations than the task warranted and cannot see it.
- A loop is about to start and its stop contract has not been written down.

## Do Not Use

- Root-causing the failure the loop is retrying - that is `godmode-investigation`.
- Open operator asks that repeat across sessions - that is `godmode-triage`.
- Re-pitching an answer the operator did not follow - that is `godmode-repair`.

## Deterministic Execution Flow

1. **Audit readiness before cycle one.** `godmode loop --preflight` - the loop file's stop contract, budget, verdict path and escalation thresholds; a missing piece is named before any iteration runs.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add aiimagined/godmode/godmode-loop-warden@sha256:61b6a5e5091d3b65

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260929.a5c6db2, 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.
