What it does
Loop is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Start an autonomous experiment loop with user-selected interval (10min, 1h, daily, weekly, monthly). Uses CronCreate for scheduling. Use when the user runs /ar:loop or asks to run an autoresearch experiment continuously on a schedule.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Autonomous loops. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user runs /ar:loop
- Asks to run an autoresearch experiment continuously on a schedule
Example prompts
- “/loop”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
git
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
Loop loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 60 tokens; SKILL.md has 207 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
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.

- loop
- description
- Start an autonomous experiment loop with user-selected interval (10min, 1h, daily, weekly, monthly). Uses CronCreate for scheduling. Use when the user runs /ar:loop or asks to run an autoresearch experiment continuously on a schedule.
- command
- /ar:loop
/ar:loop — Autonomous Experiment Loop
Start a recurring experiment loop that runs at a user-selected interval.
Usage
/ar:loop engineering/api-speed # Start loop (prompts for interval)
/ar:loop engineering/api-speed 10m # Every 10 minutes
/ar:loop engineering/api-speed 1h # Every hour
/ar:loop engineering/api-speed daily # Daily at ~9am
/ar:loop engineering/api-speed weekly # Weekly on Monday ~9am
/ar:loop engineering/api-speed monthly # Monthly on 1st ~9am
/ar:loop stop engineering/api-speed # Stop an active loopWhat It Does
Step 1: Resolve experiment
If no experiment specified, list experiments and let user pick.
Step 2: Select interval
If interval not provided as argument, present options:
Select loop interval:
1. Every 10 minutes (rapid — stay and watch)
2. Every hour (background — check back later)
3. Daily at ~9am (overnight experiments)
4. Weekly on Monday (long-running experiments)
5. Monthly on 1st (slow experiments)Map to cron expressions:
| Interval | Cron Expression | Shorthand |
|---|---|---|
| 10 minutes | */10 * * * * | 10m |
| 1 hour | 7 * * * * | 1h |
| Daily | 57 8 * * * | daily |
| Weekly | 57 8 * * 1 | weekly |
| Monthly | 57 8 1 * * | monthly |
Step 3: Create the recurring job
Use CronCreate with this prompt (fill in the experiment details):
You are running autoresearch experiment "{domain}/{name}".
1. Read .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/config.cfg for: target, evaluate_cmd, metric, metric_direction
2. Read .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/program.md for strategy and constraints
3. Read .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/results.tsv for experiment history
4. Run: git checkout autoresearch/{domain}/{name}
Then do exactly ONE iteration:
- Review results.tsv: what worked, what failed, what hasn't been tried
- Edit the target file with ONE change (strategy escalation based on run count)
- Commit: git add {target} && git commit -m "experiment: {description}"
- Evaluate: python {skill_path}/scripts/run_experiment.py --experiment {domain}/{name} --single
- Read the output (KEEP/DISCARD/CRASH)
Rules:
- ONE change per experiment
- NEVER modify the evaluator
- If 5 consecutive crashes in results.tsv, delete this cron job (CronDelete) and alert
- After every 10 experiments, update Strategy section of program.md
Current best metric: {read from results.tsv or "no baseline yet"}
Total experiments so far: {count from results.tsv}Step 4: Store loop metadata
Write to .autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/loop.json:
{
"cron_id": "{id from CronCreate}",
"interval": "{user selection}",
"started": "{ISO timestamp}",
"experiment": "{domain}/{name}"
}Step 5: Confirm to user
Loop started for {domain}/{name}
Interval: {interval description}
Cron ID: {id}
Auto-expires: 3 days (CronCreate limit)
To check progress: /ar:ar-status
To stop the loop: /ar:loop stop {domain}/{name}
Note: Recurring jobs auto-expire after 3 days.
Run /ar:loop again to restart after expiry.Stopping a Loop
When user runs /ar:loop stop {experiment}:
- Read
.autoresearch/{domain}/{name}/loop.jsonto get the cron ID - Call
CronDeletewith that ID - Delete
loop.json - Confirm: "Loop stopped for {experiment}. {n} experiments completed."
Important Limitations
- 3-day auto-expiry: CronCreate jobs expire after 3 days. For longer experiments, the user must re-run
/ar:loopto restart. Results persist — the new loop picks up where the old one left off. - One loop per experiment: Don't start multiple loops for the same experiment.
- Concurrent experiments: Multiple experiments can loop simultaneously ONLY if they're on different git branches (which they are by default — each experiment gets
autoresearch/{domain}/{name}).

Can I use Loop in Cursor, Gemini CLI or GitHub Copilot?
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add alirezarezvani/claude-skills --skill loop -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/loop, .gemini/skills/loop, .github/skills/loop and .opencode/skills/loop in your project.
What does Loop need to run?
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Loop needs the command-line tools its instructions call (git). Our summary lists: Python 3.
Does Loop access the network?
