Continuous Agent Loop

Name: ecc-continuous-agent-loop
Author: itsAR-VR

This is the v1.8+ canonical loop skill name. It supersedes autonomous-loops while keeping compatibility for one release.

Loop Selection Flow

Start
  |
  +-- Need strict CI/PR control? -- yes --> continuous-pr
  |
  +-- Need RFC decomposition? -- yes --> rfc-dag
  |
  +-- Need exploratory parallel generation? -- yes --> infinite
  |
  +-- default --> sequential

Combined Pattern

Recommended production stack:

RFC decomposition (ralphinho-rfc-pipeline)
quality gates (plankton-code-quality + /quality-gate)
eval loop (eval-harness)
session persistence (nanoclaw-repl)

Failure Modes

loop churn without measurable progress
repeated retries with same root cause
merge queue stalls
cost drift from unbounded escalation

Recovery

freeze loop
run /harness-audit
reduce scope to failing unit
replay with explicit acceptance criteria
