name: continuous-agent-loop description: Patterns for continuous autonomous agent loops with quality gates, evals, and recovery controls. metadata: origin: ECC
Continuous Agent Loop
This is the v1.8+ canonical loop skill name. It supersedes autonomous-loops while keeping compatibility for one release.
Loop Selection Flow
Start
|
+-- Need strict CI/PR control? -- yes --> continuous-pr
|
+-- Need RFC decomposition? -- yes --> rfc-dag
|
+-- Need exploratory parallel generation? -- yes --> infinite
|
+-- default --> sequential
Combined Pattern
Recommended production stack:
- RFC decomposition (
ralphinho-rfc-pipeline) - quality gates (
plankton-code-quality+/quality-gate) - eval loop (
eval-harness) - session persistence (
nanoclaw-repl)
Failure Modes
- loop churn without measurable progress
- repeated retries with same root cause
- merge queue stalls
- cost drift from unbounded escalation
Recovery
- freeze loop
- run
/harness-audit - reduce scope to failing unit
- replay with explicit acceptance criteria
