Loop Me
Set up periodic check-ins so the AI monitors progress and reports back on long-running or async tasks.
When to use
- You started a long-running process and want status updates
- You asked the user to do something and want to check back
- You are waiting for an external event or response
How it works
- Define what you are waiting for (the check condition)
- Set the check interval (how often to check)
- Define the termination condition (when to stop checking)
- Specify the feedback channel (how to report results)
Note: This skill is designed for Claude Code's loop-me feature. In Hermes Agent, use background processes with process() polling or cron-based monitoring instead.
Common Pitfalls
- Forgetting to set up the check-in mechanism: Without an explicit mechanism (cron, reminder, callback), the loop does not function. Define how the AI will check back.
- Loops that are too frequent: Checking in every minute creates noise. Match the interval to the expected progress rate.
- No clear termination condition: The loop needs a defined end state. Without it, the AI keeps checking in indefinitely.
Verification Checklist
- Check-in mechanism defined
- Interval appropriate for expected progress
- Termination condition specified
- Feedback delivery method agreed
