At a glance

Patterns for continuous autonomous agent loops with quality gates, evals, and recovery controls.

  • Works in 4 steps: RFC decomposition (ralphinho-rfc-pipeline) → quality gates (plankton-code-quality +… → eval loop (eval-harness) → …
  • Tasks that involve Autonomous loops
  • SKILL.md covers Loop Selection Flow, Combined Pattern, Failure Modes and Recovery
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md

What it does

Continuous Agent Loop is an agent skill from majiayu000/claude-skill-registry. Patterns for continuous autonomous agent loops with quality gates, evals, and recovery controls.

Its SKILL.md is about 270 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `metadata.json`).

It sits in Agent Workflows, covering Autonomous loops, Quality gates and LLM evaluation. The repository describes itself as: Searchable Claude Code skills catalog with source-linked guides and generated registry artifacts. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Autonomous loops
  • Tasks that involve Quality gates
  • Tasks that involve LLM evaluation

Example prompts

  • “Use the continuous-agent-loop skill to pattern for continuous autonomous agent loops with quality gates, evals, and recovery controls”
  • “/continuous-agent-loop”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. RFC decomposition (ralphinho-rfc-pipeline)
  2. quality gates (plankton-code-quality + /quality-gate)
  3. eval loop (eval-harness)
  4. session persistence (nanoclaw-repl)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2d14a69. 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

Continuous Agent Loop loads about 268 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 30 tokens; SKILL.md has 81 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~30
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~268

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.

Patterns for continuous autonomous agent loops with quality gates, evals, and recovery controls.

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

text
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:

  1. RFC decomposition (ralphinho-rfc-pipeline)
  2. quality gates (plankton-code-quality + /quality-gate)
  3. eval loop (eval-harness)
  4. 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
