What metrics does the smoke test report?

The test reports the specific task selected, the resulting summary line, any files created during the iteration, and the path to the temporary directory used.

What happens if looper.sh is not in my PATH?

The skill can accept a LOOPER_BIN environment variable pointing to a specific path, such as ~/looper/bin/looper.sh, to ensure it can find the executable.

Does this skill modify my existing project files?

No, it creates a separate temporary project with its own PROJECT.md and to-do.json to ensure your main workspace remains untouched during the test.

What is the primary purpose of the Looper Live Test skill?

It is designed to verify that the Looper task runner is functioning correctly by executing a single, controlled iteration in a temporary directory.

Security & Testing

Validates Looper task execution and summary application by running an automated smoke test in a temporary environment.

The Looper Live Test skill provides a reliable way to verify the operational health of the Looper task runner within your environment. By automatically spinning up a temporary project structure, initializing a mockup task list, and executing a single controlled iteration, it allows developers to observe task selection and summary logic in real-time. This is essential for debugging Looper's behavior, verifying binary path configurations, or demonstrating the tool's autonomous capabilities without risking existing project data.
