loop-design-check

loop-design-check is an Execution & autonomous loops skill for AI agents, published by affaan-m in the ECC repository on GitHub. Skillspace rates loop-design-check D (64/100) and it passed the safety scan; a judge model has also reviewed it, and it has been tested head-to-head on real tasks.

Design a goal-oriented agent loop, and review it for the ways loops go wrong — spinning and burning tokens, Goodhart-gaming the verifier, or running a wrong answer to completion. Two actions: (1) WRITE a loop — gate whether to build it, define a machine-decidable goal, pick the loop type, pick a skeleton; (2) REVIEW a loop — run it past five failure modes plus decidability, boundaries, fallback, judge independence, and keep-judgment-with-the-human red lines. Use when designing an autonomous agent loop, or when you already have one and worry it will spin, cheat, or run a wrong answer to the end. Complements the mechanism-layer loop skills (autonomous-loops, continuous-agent-loop) by covering the judgment layer they don't. 中文触发:写 loop、设计 loop、做一个 loop、检查 loop 对不对、loop 体检、loop 会不会跑飞、可判定目标、五个崩法、plan build judge。English triggers: design an agent loop, write a loop, check a loop, loop review, prevent a runaway loop, goal-oriented loop, decidable goal, plan/build/judge.

The execution-vs-judgment framing (machine grinds toward a goal, only a human may decide the goal is right) is a rare, genuinely important distinction, backed by a concrete decidable-goal checklist and a loop-type decision table.
