Installation

the-loop is installable directly from GitHub via each harness's marketplace construct — no bespoke marketplace publishing. One repo, one set of skills/commands/templates, two plugin manifests (.claude-plugin/ and .cursor-plugin/).

Claude Code

/plugin marketplace add MadaraUchiha-314/the-loop
/plugin install the-loop@the-loop

Cursor

Cursor (≥ 2.5) resolves the plugin from this repo's .cursor-plugin/ manifests. Install it either way:

• From the marketplace — in the slash menu run /add-plugin, or open Settings → Plugins → Add, and point it at the repository URL:

  https://github.com/MadaraUchiha-314/the-loop

• Locally (for development) — check the repo out under Cursor's local plugins dir:

  git clone https://github.com/MadaraUchiha-314/the-loop \
    ~/.cursor/plugins/local/the-loop

Skills follow the Agent Skills open standard, so the same SKILL.md powers both harnesses; commands appear in Cursor's slash menu (by filename, e.g. /init); the Claude Code SessionStart hook is replaced by the always-applied rule rules/the-loop.mdc.

CLI companion (optional)

Besides the plugin, the-loop ships a lightweight, extensible Python CLI for quality-of-life commands the plugin uses (webhook routing, polling, observability). See the CLI reference for install instructions and the full command set.

Run /the-loop:init in your target repo, then follow the quickstart.
