Loops

/loops — list active + paused + recent loop activity

Thin wrapper around claude-loop list. Binary owns file reads + JSON shaping. Agent does the CronList API call.

Steps

1. Active jobs — call CronList, render the output.

2. Paused + recent history — invoke the binary:

   claude-loop list
   

   Stdout is JSON with paused (array of paused-job records) + history_tail (last 20 lines of loop-history.jsonl).

3. Render compactly:

   Active (N):
     <id> · <cadence_human> · <prompt first 60 chars>...
   
   Paused (M):
     · cron=<expr> · paused at <ISO>: <prompt first 60 chars>...
     (run /loop-resume to restore)
   
   Recent history (latest first):
     <ISO>  <event>  <id>  <prompt first 40 chars>...
   

   If active + paused + history are ALL empty: "No loops active, paused, or in history yet. Use /loop to schedule one."

Optional argument: /loops history [N]

For just the history tail:

claude-loop history -n 50

Default N = 20.

Optional argument: /loops clear-history

Not wired into the binary (destructive ops kept out of the auto-callable path). Suggest rm ~/.claude/loop-history.jsonl if the user really wants to truncate.

Don't

• Don't modify state files. This skill is strictly read-only.
• Don't call CronCreate / CronDelete here — those belong to /loop-resume / /loop-pause.
