continuous-agent-loop
Patterns for continuous autonomous agent loops with quality gates, evals, and recovery controls. Use when running an agent loop that must self-check, gate on evals, and recover from failures.

Continuous Agent Loop
This is the v1.8+ canonical loop skill name. It supersedes autonomous loops while keeping compatibility for one release.
Loop Selection Flow
Combined Pattern
Recommended production stack:
1. RFC decomposition ( ralphinho rfc pipeline )
2. quality gates ( plankton code quality + /quality gate )
3. eval loop ( eval harness )
4. session persistence ( nanoclaw repl )
Failure Modes
loop churn without measurable progress
repeated retries with same root cause
merge queue stalls
cost drift from unbounded escalation
Recovery
freeze loop
run /harness audit
reduce scope to failing unit
replay with explicit acceptance criteria
