What it does

New Loop is an agent skill from AI-Builder-Club/skills. Spin up a new loop (domain) in a file-based knowledge base — bootstrap the substrate if it's missing, gather the loop's charter, scaffold domains/<loop/README.md, then do ONE real test run and record it in the loop's Timeline and LOG.md. Use when the user says "set up a new loop", "create a domain", "start a new beat/workstream", or names a recurring job they want the agent to own.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 5 other files, including reference files (for example `references/ARCHITECTURE.md`, `references/CLAUDE.template.md` and `references/KNOWLEDGE_SETUP.md`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Technical documentation and Knowledge bases. The repository describes itself as: Codebase harness + loop engineer.

When your agent uses it

  • The user says set up a new loop
  • Create a domain
  • Start a new beat/workstream
  • Names a recurring job they want the agent to own

Example prompts

  • “s missing, gather the loop”
  • “s Timeline and LOG.md. Use when the user says”
  • “create a domain”
  • “/new-loop”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Bootstrap the substrate (one-time; skip if already set up)
  2. Scaffold the loop README
  3. Do ONE real test run
  4. Report back

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 917780c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

New Loop loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~6.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 99 tokens; SKILL.md has 638 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~99
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~6.5k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 638 words (~1,235 tokens).

“A loop (a domain) is a recurring thread of work the agent owns: a charter, a cadence, and the artifacts it produces. This skill creates one, proves it works with a single real run, and leaves behind a domains//README.md that…”
