continuous-agent-loop is an ECC agent-orchestration skill that runs self-correcting autonomous coding loops with quality gates, evals, and recovery controls for developers who need reliable long-running agent sessions.
About
continuous-agent-loop is an ECC v1.8+ standard loop skill that replaces autonomous-loops while preserving compatibility for one release cycle. The skill routes work through a decision flow—continuous-pr for strict CI/PR control, rfc-dag for RFC decomposition, infinite for parallel exploration, or sequential as the default—and documents a production stack pairing RFC decomposition, plankton-code-quality gates, eval-harness evaluation, and nanoclaw-repl session persistence. Developers reach for continuous-agent-loop when agent runs churn without measurable progress, repeat the same root-cause retries, stall merge queues, or drift costs through unbounded escalation. The skill encodes failure modes and recovery patterns so agent loops terminate with evidence instead of infinite retries.
- Decision tree selects among continuous-pr, rfc-dag, infinite, and sequential loop types
- Recommended production stack combines RFC decomposition, quality gates, eval harness, and session persistence
- Prevents loop churn, repeated root-cause retries, merge queue stalls, and cost drift
- Recovery commands include freeze loop, harness audit, scope reduction, and replay with acceptance criteria
- v1.8+ canonical pattern superseding autonomous-loops with backward compatibility

How do you run reliable autonomous agent loops with quality gates?
Run reliable, self-correcting autonomous agent loops with built-in quality gates, evals, and recovery controls.
Who is it for?
Developers running multi-iteration Claude Code or Cursor agent sessions that need CI-aware PR control, RFC decomposition, or parallel exploration with measurable stop conditions.
Skip if: Developers who only need a single one-shot code edit without loop orchestration, eval harnesses, or autonomous retry management.
When should I use this skill?
An agent session needs a long-running autonomous loop with quality gates, eval loops, or recovery after repeated failures.
What you get
Selected loop strategy, quality-gate checkpoints, eval-harness results, and session-persistent agent run logs.
- Loop strategy selection
- Quality-gate checkpoint plan
- Eval and recovery runbook
By the numbers
- Defines 4 loop strategies: sequential, continuous-pr, rfc-dag, and infinite
- Standard loop skill name in ECC v1.8+ replacing autonomous-loops for one release

How it compares
Pick continuous-agent-loop over a single-shot coding skill when agent runs need eval loops, PR-aware control, or RFC-driven decomposition instead of one-pass generation.
FAQ
Which loop strategy should continuous-agent-loop pick?
continuous-agent-loop routes to continuous-pr for strict CI/PR control, rfc-dag for RFC decomposition, infinite for parallel exploration, or sequential as the default when no special constraint applies.
What production stack does continuous-agent-loop recommend?
continuous-agent-loop recommends ralphinho-rfc-pipeline for RFC decomposition, plankton-code-quality with /quality-gate, eval-harness for evaluation loops, and nanoclaw-repl for session persistence.
