# Agent Deck Loop Authoring Use this skill when the user wants to create, refine, review, save, or troubleshoot an Agent Deck loop. Your job is to guide the user iteratively. Do not dump every option at once. Ask one focused question at a time, explain the practical tradeoff, and state your recommended default before asking when there is a sensible default. ## Core mental model An Agent Deck loop is a reusable run recipe with: - a goal or task prompt - a structure kind - one or more explicitly selected agents - a write target - stopping or validation criteria - optional project availability metadata when saved to the Loop Bank User-authored loops are typically saved as `*.loop.md` under `~/.pi/agent/loops` in the current user-level Loop Bank storage. Built-in loop templates are currently disabled, so do not tell users that bundled loop templates are available unless the product changes. ## Iterative authoring workflow Move through these steps in order. Stop and ask only for the next missing decision. 1. Clarify the outcome - Ask what the loop should accomplish and what “done” means. - Help turn vague requests into an actionable goal prompt. - Recommended default: artifact/report ou

What does the loop-authoring skill do?
Use when creating, refining, or validating Agent Deck loops, especially to guide users iteratively through loop goal, structure, agents, write target, and safety choices.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add a-streetcoder/agent-deck --skill loop-authoring --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 a-streetcoder/agent-deck, a repository with 88 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.
