autonomous-loop
Autonomous development loop patterns for iterative self-improvement. Auto-triggers when implementing features autonomously, fixing bugs in a loop, or running until completion. Based on frankbria/ralph-claude-code.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill autonomous-loop-bigdegenenergy-open-cloud-ops --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Autonomous Development Loop Based on [@ghuntley's Ralph technique](https://github.com/frankbria/ralph-claude-code) for Claude Code. > **For full autonomous mode, use `/ralph`.** This skill provides the underlying patterns. ## Core Principle: Dual-Condition Exit Gate **Never exit prematurely.** Exit requires BOTH conditions: 1. **Completion Indicators ≥ 2** - Heuristic detection from your work 2. **Explicit EXIT_SIGNAL: true** - Your conscious declaration **If only ONE is true → KEEP GOING** This innovation (introduced in ralph-claude-code v0.9.9) prevents false exits when completion language appears during productive work. ## Completion Indicators Count how many apply each loop: | Indicator | Pattern | | ----------------- | ------------------------------------------ | | Tests passing | 100% pass rate | | Fix plan complete | All `- [ ]` → `- [x]` | | "Done" language | "done", "complete", "finished" | | "Nothing to do" | "no changes needed", "already implemented" | | "Ready" language | "ready for review", "ready to merge" | | No errors | Zero execution errors | **Need ≥2 indicators + explicit EXIT_SIGNAL: true to exit** ## Circuit Breaker Pattern Track your own progress and halt wh

What does the autonomous-loop skill do?
Autonomous development loop patterns for iterative self-improvement. Auto-triggers when implementing features autonomously, fixing bugs in a loop, or running until completion. Based on frankbria/ralph-claude-code.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill autonomous-loop-bigdegenenergy-open-cloud-ops --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 majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 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.
