Design loop engineering workflows for coding agents

Design loop engineering workflows for coding agents

Use Loop Engineering to scaffold, audit, and operate repeatable coding-agent loops with explicit state, budget, readiness, and tool-specific patterns.

Prerequisites

Node.js/npm for loop-init, loop-audit, loop-cost, loop-sync, loop-context, loop-worktree, and optional loop-mcp-server; an installed coding agent such as Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok, or Cursor.

Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:

• npx @cobusgreyling/loop-init .
• npx @cobusgreyling/loop-init . --pattern daily-triage --tool grok
• npx @cobusgreyling/loop-cost --pattern daily-triage --level L1
• npx @cobusgreyling/loop-audit . --suggest

Requirements and caveats from upstream:

• cd tools/loop-init && npm ci && npm test && node dist/cli.js /path/to/project --pattern daily-triage --tool grok
• cd tools/loop-audit && npm ci && npm test && node dist/cli.js /path/to/project --suggest

Basic usage or getting-started notes:

• Getting Started (5 minutes)

• | Pattern Picker | Which loop to run first — start here if unsure |

• | Starters | Clone-and-run kits (Grok, Claude Code, Codex, Opencode) |
