Is this a background daemon process?

No. The /loop command handles exactly one task per invocation and returns control to the user, adhering to safety protocols while enabling high-velocity development.

How does the /loop command work?

The /loop command scans your local .agents/TASKS/ directory for the highest priority 'To Do' task, claims it by updating the metadata with a timestamp, and proceeds to implement the feature based on the linked PRD.

Can I use this with multiple AI editors simultaneously?

Yes, the skill uses a file-based locking mechanism (claims) that allows Claude CLI, Cursor, and Codex to work on different tasks in parallel without technical conflicts.

What happens if an agent is rate-limited?

When rate-limited, the agent saves its current progress to the task notes, releases the claim, and prompts you to switch to a different platform to continue the work where it left off.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates autonomous development tasks across multiple AI platforms with built-in QA gates and task management.

The AI Development Loop skill transforms your development workflow into an autonomous agent-driven engine by managing a task queue located within your repository. It allows AI agents to independently claim, implement, and move tasks through a structured lifecycle—from backlog to implementation and testing—while maintaining human-in-the-loop control through manual QA gates. By supporting parallel execution across Claude CLI, Cursor, and Codex, it maximizes productivity and effectively manages API rate limits, ensuring continuous progress on your feature backlog without manual hand-holding.
