Loop Library (vendored skill)
This folder is a verbatim copy of the loop-library skill from
Forward-Future/loop-library
(skills/loop-library/). SKILL.md, agents/openai.yaml,
references/discover.md, and references/audit.md are unchanged from upstream
(byte-for-byte). Licensed under the MIT License © Forward Future.
What this skill is
An installable guide that helps an AI agent discover, find, audit, repair, adapt, or design repeatable agent loops through conversation. A loop is a bounded feedback system — what to do, how to check it, what to try next, and when to stop — not permission for endless autonomy.
Invoke it by describing a task, e.g.:
/loop-library Find a published loop for keeping our documentation current.
/loop-library Analyze this repo for repeated work and turn the best candidate into a loop.
/loop-library Audit this loop and repair only material problems: [paste loop]
About the published loops
The individual published loops (the 26+ practitioner recipes) are not stored in this folder, and they are not in the upstream Git tree either. Per the upstream README they are "intentionally not committed to GitHub" — they live in the live, database-backed catalog and are fetched at runtime:
- Catalog (Markdown): https://signals.forwardfuture.ai/loop-library/catalog.md
- Catalog (JSON): https://signals.forwardfuture.ai/loop-library/catalog.json
The skill reads this live catalog as the single source of truth when it recommends a published loop. If the live catalog is unreachable, the skill reports that published-loop discovery is temporarily unavailable rather than substituting stale or memorized content — this is by design, so the catalog is never forked out of date.
Updating
Re-vendor from upstream when the skill changes:
npx skills add Forward-Future/loop-library --skill loop-library --agent claude-code -g -y
