File contents

Validate Loop Implementation

Check implementation status via the Skene CLI.

Agent behavior rules

Autonomous. Run the CLI, present results, suggest next step. No mid-flow questions.
CLI is the source of truth. If uvx skene status fails, report the error. Do NOT fabricate your own checklist.
User cannot type into agent terminals. Pipe safe defaults for routine prompts. Kill stuck terminals.

Steps

Discover CLI options Run uvx skene status --help to see available flags. Use only flags that appear in the output.
Check for growth loops ls .skene/active-loop.json 2>/dev/null || ls skene-context/growth-loops/ 2>/dev/null || ls skene/growth-loops/ 2>/dev/null If missing: "No growth loop found. Run /skene-plan first." Stop.
Run status check Run uvx skene status with appropriate flags from --help output (e.g. path argument, --context if needed). If it fails, report error. Do NOT build your own checklist.
Present CLI output Present the engine status table from CLI output. For action features, Detail uses Found in: <newest migration> (+N) when the same trigger exists in multiple SQL files (+N = additional files beyond the one shown).
Suggest next step
- All done → "Growth loop implemented. Run /skene-deploy for telemetry."
- Gaps remain → "Remaining: [items]. Run /skene-build to continue."

Error handling

CLI failure: Report error, suggest fix.
Permission errors: Give user the command for their terminal.

Output
