SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Autonomous agents tend to run away: they judge their own progress, retry forever, and ship unverified work. This Skill turns an outcome into a bounded, evidence-driven loop where every done signal is an executed check and every one-way door requires human approval. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Goal Contract First: Separates the real outcome from requested tactics, constraints, and non-goals, then gets one approval before any code is written. - Bounded Loop Enforcement: The loop_state.py script enforces caps in code (max slice attempts, total iterations, stuck detection) and issues CONTINUE or STOP directives the agent must obey. - Grounded Verification Only: Slices are marked done only by executed checks (real test runs, validators, audits), with evidence receipts required before the goal can be achieved. - Use Case: A user says "add a CSV export button and take it to done." The Skill frames the contract, decomposes it into slices, builds and verifies each against real tests, runs an independent final review, and proposes shipping only after explicit approval. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to run /goal followed by the outcome you want reached end to end, such as driving a feature from request to verified completion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run an autonomous goal loop with an AI coding agent?▼

Invoke /goal with the outcome you want reached. The skill frames a goal contract, gets one approval, decomposes the work into slices, then loops build-verify-decide until the Definition of Done is proven by executed checks.

How do I stop an AI agent from running away on a long task?▼

Use a bounded loop where caps live in code, not prose. The loop_state.py script enforces max slice attempts, a total iteration ceiling, and a stuck detector, and its STOP directives cannot be overridden by the agent.

What counts as a valid done signal for an autonomous agent?▼

Only an executed check counts: a real test run that is green, clean validators, an audit returning APPROVE, or a verified browser render. The model's own judgment that code looks correct is explicitly rejected as a done signal.

Does the goal loop ship or deploy changes automatically?▼

No. Shipping stays a separate human-approved step, and the loop always stops before one-way doors like deploys, destructive changes, or schema migrations. It presents verified evidence and waits for explicit approval.

What happens when a slice keeps failing in the goal loop?▼

After the slice hits its attempt cap, loop_state.py returns STOP_SLICE. The skill re-plans that one slice once with lessons from the failure; if it fails again, the loop stops and escalates with the real output instead of retrying forever.

When should I not use an autonomous goal loop?▼

Skip it when the request is a single step or the path is fully known, since a direct action or fixed prompt chain is cheaper. The loop is the most expensive option and is reserved for work needing feedback-driven decisions.
