At a glance

Automated issue loop with checkpoint/resume: fetch open GitHub issues → dependency-aware topological sort → implement each issue end-to-end → review with /review-it → ship with /ship-it → repeat.

  • Works in 3 steps: Fetch Issues & Build Dependency Graph → Resume or Initialize → Process Single Issue
  • Development work in your project
  • SKILL.md covers Overview, 前置检查, 状态文件 and Step 1: Fetch Issues & Build…, plus 4 more sections
  • Calls git, gh and go

What it does

Loop It is an agent skill from smallnest/goal-workflow. Automated issue loop with checkpoint/resume: fetch open GitHub issues → dependency-aware topological sort → implement each issue end-to-end → review with /review-it → ship with /ship-it → repeat. Persists state to .loop-state.json for crash recovery. Triggers on: loop-it, loop issues, auto implement, 批量实现, 循环实现, 实现所有issue, 恢复循环, resume loop.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k 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 Development. It works with GitHub and Git. The repository describes itself as: AI-driven development workflow with /prd, /goal, /review-it and /ship-it skills. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Development work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/loop-it”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(gh:*), Bash(git:*), Bash(cat:*)

Workflow steps

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

  1. Fetch Issues & Build Dependency Graph
  2. Resume or Initialize
  3. Process Single Issue

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b06ab3c. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(gh:*)
    • Bash(git:*)
    • Bash(cat:*)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • git
    • gh
    • go

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use git and gh, 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 It loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 88 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,120 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~88
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k

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-it — 带检查点恢复的自动化 Issue 实现循环

Fetch all open GitHub issues, resolve dependency order, implement each through the full pipeline (内联实现 → /review-it → /ship-it), persist progress to state file, and resume from checkpoint on crash.

⚠️ 关键前提:实现步骤由 agent 内联自主完成,不依赖任何外部 /goal 命令。 本环境中不存在可调用的 goal 命令或 skill。因此「实现 issue」这一步必须由 agent 内联完成:直接读取该 issue 的标题与正文(含其引用的 PRD/SPEC 与验收条件),自主完成"理解需求 → 写/改代码 → 跑测试与 lint → 满足全部验收条件"的闭环,持续工作直到该 issue 的验收条件全部满足且测试/构建通过。不要尝试用 Skill 工具调用 goal(会报 goal is a UI command, not a skill),也不要因为找不到 /goal 而中止循环。/review-it、/ship-it 仍是真实 skill,经 Skill 工具调用。loop-it 循环中不调用 /note-it。

状态值

pending | in_progress | skipped | shipped | failed | blocked

写入规则
  • 每次状态转换后立即写入(pending → in_progress、in_progress → shipped/failed/skipped 等)
  • 写入使用 cat > .loop-state.json << 'LOOPSTATE'\n{json}\nLOOPSTATE
  • 如果状态文件已存在但内容损坏(非法 JSON),打印警告,提供从头开始或中止的选项。绝不自动覆盖损坏文件
  • 循环完成后保留状态文件(作为记录),用户可手动删除

Step 1: Fetch Issues & Build Dependency Graph

Fetch all open issues:

bash
gh issue list --state open --json number,title,labels,body --limit 100
Parse Dependencies

Read each issue body, look for patterns:

  • Dependencies: #3, #5 or Depends on: #3
  • depends on #3 or requires #3 (in body text)

Build a dependency graph. Sort using topological order:

  1. Issues with no dependencies first (sorted by number ascending)
  2. Issues whose dependencies are all shipped/closed next
  3. Blocked issues (depend on other open issues) last
  4. Circular dependencies → print warning ⚠️ 循环依赖检测到: #A ↔ #B,按编号顺序处理,break cycle by number order

If no dependency patterns found in any issue body, fall back to number-ascending sort.

Print ordered list:

📋 Found N open issues (topological sort):
  #1: Add priority field (无依赖)
  #3: Display indicator (依赖 #1)
  #5: Add selector (依赖 #1)
  #7: Filter view (依赖 #1, #3)

If no open issues → print ✅ No open issues found. Nothing to do. and exit.


Step 2: Resume or Initialize

If .loop-state.json exists (from 前置检查 Check 6)
  1. Read the file
  2. Print progress summary:
📊 从检查点恢复 (上次更新: {updated_at})
   ✅ Shipped:  #1, #3
   ⏭️  Skipped:   #2 (question)
   ❌ Failed:    #4 (build_failure — 3 attempts)
   📋 Remaining: #5, #7
  1. For each failed issue: ask user — retry or skip?
  2. For in_progress issues: check if branch exists, changes exist → decide resume from current state or restart
  3. Skip all shipped/skipped issues
  4. Continue from first pending/retryable issue
If no state file
  1. Initialize new state file with all fetched issues as pending
  2. Start from first issue in topological order

Step 3: Process Single Issue

For each issue, print a banner:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
🔄 Processing Issue #{number}: {title}
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
3a. Branch Prep

Prepare a clean git environment for this issue:

bash
# 确认在 main 上
git checkout main
git pull

# 创建功能分支
git checkout -b feat/issue-{N}-{short-desc}

Branch naming: feat/issue-N-short-desc or fix/issue-N-short-desc(与 /ship-it 保持一致)

3b. Skip or Implement

Read the issue title and body. Decide if it needs code implementation:

Skip if the issue is:

  • A question / discussion / clarification
  • Documentation-only (typos, wording)
  • Already implemented (check codebase)
  • A duplicate of another issue
  • Clearly labeled wontfix, question, discussion, or invalid
  • Not actionable (no clear acceptance criteria and cannot infer any)

Skip (blocked) if the issue has unresolved dependencies:

  • Check the dependency graph from Step 1
  • If any dependency issue is not shipped (still pending, failed, blocked, or not in state file) → skip as blocked
  • The dependency issue itself may have failed or been skipped — in either case, this issue cannot proceed safely

When skipping:

⏭️  Skipping Issue #{number}: {title}
   Reason: {why}

When blocked:

🔒 Blocking Issue #{number}: {title}
   Reason: dependency #{dep_number} not shipped ({status})

Update state: pending → skipped or pending → blocked, write checkpoint, run 3g Branch Cleanup, proceed to next issue.

3c. Implement (内联自主实现)

Update state: pending → in_progress, phase: "implement", write checkpoint.

由 agent 内联完成实现(本环境无 goal 命令/skill 可调用,必须自己干):

  1. 读取该 issue 的标题与正文,提取需求与全部验收条件(Acceptance Criteria);若正文引用了 PRD/SPEC 文件(如 tasks/prd-*.md),一并读取作为上下文
  2. 阅读相关现有代码,遵循项目既有风格、命名与依赖约定
  3. 实现/修改代码以满足全部验收条件
  4. 跑项目的构建、测试与 lint(如 go build ./...、go vet ./...、go test ./...)
  5. 持续工作直到该 issue 的验收条件全部满足且测试/构建/lint 通过

不要尝试用 Skill 工具调用 goal(会报 goal is a UI command, not a skill),也不要因找不到 /goal 而中止——实现就是你自己内联完成的工作。

On success:

✅ Issue #{number} implementation complete

Write checkpoint with phase: "implement_done".

On failure — classify error (see 错误分类与恢复), apply recovery strategy, retry up to max attempts. If all retries exhausted:

⚠️  Issue #{number} failed: {error_class} after {N} attempts
   Manual intervention required.

Update state: in_progress → failed, write checkpoint, run 3g Branch Cleanup, proceed to next issue.

3d. Review with /review-it

Write checkpoint with phase: "review".

/review-it

If review finds actionable issues:

🔍 Review found N issue(s) for #{number}. Fixing...

Fix each accepted finding, re-run /review-it. Repeat until clean or max 2 review rounds.

If review is clean:

✅ Review clean for Issue #{number}

Write checkpoint with phase: "review_done".

Show full SKILL.md (457 more words)Show less
3e. Ship with /ship-it
/ship-it

This commits, pushes, creates PR, merges, and closes the issue.

On success:

🚀 Issue #{number} shipped successfully!

On failure — classify error (see 错误分类与恢复), apply recovery. If unresolvable:

⚠️  Issue #{number} ship failed: {error}. Manual merge required.

Update state: in_progress → failed, phase: "ship", write checkpoint, run 3g Branch Cleanup, proceed to next issue.

3f. Checkpoint

After successful ship, update state: in_progress → shipped, set completed_at, write checkpoint.

Print progress (see 进度可观测性).

3g. Branch Cleanup

After each issue (shipped, skipped, or failed):

bash
# 切回 main
git checkout main
git pull

# 删除本地功能分支(仅当 shipped 时)
git branch -d feat/issue-{N}-{short-desc}

For failed issues: do NOT delete the branch. Keep it for investigation.

Next Issue

Return to Step 3 for the next issue in topological order.

When all issues processed, print final summary:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 Loop Complete — Summary
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  ✅ Shipped:   N issues  (#1, #3, ...)
  ⏭️  Skipped:   N issues  (#2 — reason, #5 — reason, ...)
  🔒 Blocked:   N issues  (#7 — depends on #4, ...)
  ❌ Failed:    N issues  (#4 — error, ...)
  📋 Total:     N issues
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

错误分类与恢复

当错误发生时,先分类,再按策略恢复。

错误类别检测信号恢复策略最大重试
build_failure编译错误、undefined、类型错误读错误,修代码,重新构建3
test_failure断言失败、test failed读测试输出,修实现,重跑测试3
lint_failurelint 错误、格式问题自动修复 (lint --fix),重跑2
merge_conflictCONFLICT 标记rebase origin/main,解决冲突,push2
ci_failuregh pr checks 失败读 CI 日志,本地修复,push2
auth_failure403、401、认证错误停止,告知用户重新认证0
rate_limitrate limit、secondary abuse等待 60s,重试3
issue_unclearissue 无验收条件且无法推断需求跳过,标记 failed0
network_errortimeout、connection refused等待 30s,重试3
unknown其他情况记录完整错误,跳过0

恢复协议:

  1. 匹配错误类别
  2. 匹配成功 → 应用恢复策略,重试最多 N 次
  3. 重试全部失败 → 标记 failed,写检查点,继续下一个 issue
  4. 无法匹配 → 标记 failed(error_class: unknown),继续
  5. 绝不无限重试。绝不未经确认 force-push。

进度可观测性

每完成一个 issue 后,打印结构化进度:

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
📊 Progress: 3/8 issues (37%)
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
  ✅ Shipped:  #1, #3
  ⏭️  Skipped:   #2 (question), #6 (duplicate)
  🔒 Blocked:   #7 (depends on #4 — failed)
  ❌ Failed:    #4 (build_failure — 3 attempts)
  📋 Remaining: #5, #8
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Logging Rules

Every key step MUST print a log line with emoji prefix:

Safety Guards

  • Never force-push to main/master — always use feature branches
  • Never skip review — always run /review-it before /ship-it
  • Max retries per error class — 参见错误分类与恢复表,不无限重试
  • Max 2 review rounds — don't over-polish
  • Pause on CI failure — log and continue, don't auto-override branch protection
  • Preserve issue labels — only close issues that were actually shipped
  • Never auto-delete failed branches — 保留供调查
  • Checkpoint at every transition — 每次状态变更写检查点,不仅仅在 ship 时
  • State file integrity — 损坏时警告用户,绝不自动覆盖
  • State file in .gitignore — 提醒用户添加 .loop-state.json
  • Strictly sequential — 一次只处理一个 issue(实现会修改工作树,不能并行)
  • Skip dependency-blocked issues — 依赖的 issue 未 shipped 时标记 blocked
  • 实现由 agent 内联完成 — 本环境无 goal 命令/skill 可调用;「实现 issue」必须由 agent 自己读 issue、写代码、跑测试完成。报 goal is a UI command, not a skill 时不要中止,直接内联实现
