name: loop-agent description: Execute workflow agents iteratively for refinement and progressive improvement until quality criteria are met. Use when tasks require repetitive refinement, multi-iteration improvements, progressive optimization, or feedback loops until convergence.

Loop Agent Skill

Execute workflow agents iteratively for refinement and progressive improvement until quality criteria are met.

Quick Reference

• Modes - Loop termination modes (fixed, criteria, convergence, hybrid)
• Patterns - Common loop patterns (refinement, test-fix, optimization)
• Configuration - Loop setup and templates
• Examples - Complete loop examples

When to Use

• Code needs iterative refinement until quality standards met
• Tests need repeated fix-validate cycles
• Performance requires progressive optimization
• Quality improvements need multiple passes
• Feedback loops necessary for convergence

NOT Appropriate For

• Single-pass tasks (use specialized agent)
• Purely parallel work (use parallel-execution)
• Simple linear workflows (use sequential)
• One-time analysis
