What happens if the AI gets stuck in a loop?

Navigator Loop includes stagnation detection. If the state hash remains unchanged for several iterations, it triggers a circuit breaker, pauses the loop, and asks for user clarification.

How do I trigger Loop Mode in Claude Code?

You can activate it naturally by saying phrases like 'run until done', 'keep going until complete', 'loop mode', or 'autonomous mode' when assigning a task.

Can I limit how many times the AI iterates?

Yes, you can configure the 'max_iterations' setting in your .nav-config.json file, typically defaulting to 5 iterations to ensure controlled execution.

Does it automatically commit code changes?

Yes, as part of the autonomous completion protocol, it can track code changes, run tests, and commit progress once the verification phase is successful.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates multi-step coding tasks through iterative research, implementation, and verification cycles until completion.

Navigator Loop provides a robust autonomous framework for Claude Code, enabling it to execute complex development tasks without requiring manual 'keep going' prompts. By implementing a structured lifecycle—from initial research to final verification—the skill manages state progression, detects stagnation to prevent infinite loops, and utilizes a dual-condition exit gate. This ensures that tasks are not only finished but verified against specific heuristics and explicit completion signals, making it ideal for complex refactors and feature builds.
