the-loopThe loop for everything!

An opinionated product-development-lifecycle harness, shipped as a Claude Code and Cursor plugin. Once a plan is approved, an agent harness delivers a work item end-to-end with minimal or no human intervention.

What is the-loop?

Quickstart

View on GitHub

One loop, every work item

(brainstorm) → requirements → design → tasks (each iterated until locked and human-reviewed) → implement (+self-check) → self/critic review → evidence → complete → learn.

Claude Code and Cursor, one repo

Skills follow the open Agent Skills standard, so the same SKILL.md powers both harnesses. Install directly from GitHub — no bespoke marketplace.

A CLI companion

A lightweight, extensible Python CLI (the-loop) for webhook-triggered session routing, polling, structured observability, and Gherkin scenario discovery.

Gated, reviewed, documented

Every phase is gated by human review. Every decision leaves a paper trail. Capability docs stay the single source of truth for current behaviour.
