// Agentic Loop — keep working until the goal is met, with a guaranteed ceiling // // The "loop" pattern from agentic AI: instead of one shot, run a step over // and over until the goal is reached, letting it decide when to stop — but // always bounded by a hard iteration cap (the guardrail) so it can never run // away, or run up an unbounded bill. // // flow.Loop is just a flow step, so it composes with the normal checkpointed // step engine. This example needs no LLM key: the body is a plain func that // "improves a draft" each pass, and a code-defined Until stops it once the // draft is good enough — capped by FlowLoopMax. In a real flow the body would // be micro.FlowDispatch("coder") (an agent) or micro.FlowLLM(...), and the // stop check micro.FlowUntilLLM("Is the work complete?") — the supervised // "Ralph" loop, where the model decides it's done but the cap still bounds it. package main import ( "context" "fmt" "go-micro.dev/v6" ) // Draft is the payload carried across iterations via State.Set / State.Scan. type Draft struct { Text string `json:"text"` Quality int `json:"quality"` // 0..100, improved each pass } // improve is one loop pass: it refines the draft a bit.
