What is Loop engineering?
Also called: Designing loops, agent loops
Loop engineering means designing a process that starts an AI agent, checks its result and keeps going until a checkable goal is met, instead of prompting every step yourself.
Example
Instead of typing “fix the error” ten times, you define: run the tests, fix the error, test again, five rounds at most.
For pros
A loop has a trigger, a goal, a check (test, checklist, source or person), a stop condition, a budget and memory between rounds. Every round uses compute. Without a round limit and a real check you risk endless loops and reported successes nobody verified. A person should approve steps with consequences.
