ww-w-ai Loop Skill
Run a prompt or command on a recurring interval. Useful for monitoring, polling, or periodic checks.
Usage
/loop 5m pdca status
/loop 10m analyze user-auth
/loop 1h git log --oneline -5
/loop check build status
Interval Format
| Format | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
Nm |
Every N minutes | 5m = every 5 minutes |
Nh |
Every N hours | 1h = every 1 hour |
Ns |
Every N seconds | 30s = every 30 seconds |
| (none) | Default 10 minutes | /loop check status |
If no interval is specified, the default interval is 10 minutes.
Safety Limits
- Maximum iterations: 100 (hard safety limit, non-configurable)
- Minimum interval: 10 seconds (prevents accidental tight loops)
- Timeout: Each individual command execution has a 5-minute timeout
Stop Conditions
The loop stops automatically when any of the following occur:
- Maximum iteration count (100) is reached
- The user explicitly requests stop
- The command returns a fatal error 3 times consecutively
- A stop condition expression evaluates to true (if provided)
Stop Condition Expressions
You can specify an optional stop condition using --until:
/loop 5m --until "matchRate >= 90" analyze user-auth
/loop 1h --until "status == deployed" check deployment
Output
Each iteration outputs:
- Iteration number and timestamp
- Command output
- Time until next iteration
At completion, a summary report is displayed:
- Total iterations executed
- Total elapsed time
- Last command output
- Reason for stopping
