A collection of patterns, starter templates, and npm CLI tools for 'loop engineering' — designing automated loops that prompt and orchestrate AI coding agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Grok. It includes tools such as loop-audit, loop-init, and loop-cost that score repo readiness, scaffold agent loops, and track agent costs.

Use cases

  • audit a repo for readiness to run AI coding agent loops
  • scaffold an automated agent loop in my project
  • track and estimate the cost of AI coding agent runs
  • set up scheduled agent runs with worktrees and verification
  • learn patterns for orchestrating Claude Code and Codex without manual prompting
  • add MCP connectors and sub-agent maker/checker splits to my workflow
  • run AI coding agents from GitHub Actions on a schedule

When to choose

  • you use AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex, Grok) and want structured, repeatable automation loops instead of ad-hoc prompting
  • you want ready-made CLI tooling to audit, initialize, and monitor agent loops
  • you want tool-agnostic patterns that work across multiple coding agents and GitHub Actions

When to avoid

  • you need a general-purpose agent framework for building custom LLM applications rather than coding-agent workflows
  • you only prompt agents occasionally and don't need scheduled or automated loops
  • you need a GUI or hosted platform rather than CLI tools and patterns
