Built-In Loops

Loop Factory includes original built-in loops for common agent work. They are inspired by catalog-style loop patterns, but written for this repo's spec queue, review gate, and backprop workflow.

List loops:

loop-factory loops list
loop-factory loops list --agent claude --category Testing

Inspect one:

loop-factory loops show active-spec-verify

Render prompt:

loop-factory loops prompt spec-grill-gate --agent claude
loop-factory loops prompt ci-branch-green --agent codex --interval 5m

Run with local agent CLI:

loop-factory loops prompt review-cleanup-pass --agent codex --execute

docs-after-code	Maintenance	manual	Sync docs after code edits.
failing-test-triage	Testing	manual	Classify flaky vs real failures before fixes.
build-until-green	Testing	manual	Fix build failures with bounded iterations.

Loop Shape

Every built-in loop has:

• goal
• max iterations
• check command
• exit condition
• first step
• guardrails against product decision drift

Generated prompts are artifacts under factory/prompts/ and are ignored by Git.
