Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.

# AI-Loop Skill ## Overview The `ai-loop` skill structures a bounded development cycle for agentic workflows. By dividing the process into distinct planning (Spec), implementation (Build), and validation (Review) phases, it helps an agent build and correct scoped code changes while keeping requirements, risk gates, and stop conditions explicit. ## When to Use This Skill - Use when you need a feature built from scratch or heavily modified, and you want the agent to handle the lifecycle (specification, implementation, and verification) inside one clearly bounded workflow. - Use when working with isolated components, modules, or features that have well-defined scopes and constraints. - Use when the user asks for a complete development pass but the work still has clear success criteria, a reasonable verification path, and no unresolved safety or product decisions. ## How It Works This skill executes a controlled development loop composed of three phases: Spec, Build, and Review. When invoked, the agent moves through those phases until the scoped requirements pass verification, a stop condition is reached, or human approval is needed. Before starting, define: - The maximum number of bui

What does the ai-loop skill do?
Runs a bounded spec-build-review development loop with explicit scope, stop conditions, and human approval gates for risky or ambiguous work.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill ai-loop --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills, a repository with 44,414 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
