agentsop-bounded-loop
From the author
Universal discipline for any LM-driven loop — agent retries, plan-act-observe, multi-agent handoffs, optimiser passes, test-fix cycles. Encodes the one rule every framework documents quietly and every team relearns expensively: the LM in the loop is NEVER a reliable terminator. Termination must be provided by an explicit counter + exit predicate + stagnation signal + escalation path that live OUTSIDE the LM's control. This is a tool- level, framework-agnostic skill. It maps onto LangGraph (recursion_limit + state counter + interrupt), CrewAI (max_iter + max_rpm + human_input), Claude / OpenAI SDKs (max_iterations + tool_use_budget), DSPy (declared evaluation budget), Aider (REPL + explicit retry cap), and AutoGen (max_consecutive_auto_reply). Search keywords: infinite loop, recursion limit, recursion_limit, GraphRecursionError, max iterations, max_iter, agent stuck, agent won't stop, runaway agent, ReAct loop not terminating, agent repeating itself.

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- agentsop-test-fix-loopagentsope/SkillAlchemyDecision protocol for wiring a verify-then-fix loop around a code-editing LLM agent. The agent edits → runs lint/test → reads the output → fixes → re-runs, bounded by an iteration cap and an escalation rule. Activates whenever a coder agent has a verifiable success criterion (exit code, type-checker output, failing assertion) and the user wants the agent to converge to "green" on its own. Framework-agnostic — wraps Aider's `--auto-lint`/`--auto-test`, an OpenHands SWE-Bench loop, a manual LangGraph cycle, or Claude Code's bash tool just the same.Testing★ 445
- loop-libraryalirezarezvani/claude-skillsDiscover, find, compare, audit, repair, adapt, and design repeatable AI-agent loops with explicit triggers, actions, verification, stopping conditions, guardrails, and handoffs. Use when a user asks to analyze a codebase for potential loops, mine coding-thread history for work done more than once, turn repeated engineering work into a loop, find or recommend a published loop, create a recurring agent workflow or automation cadence, turn an outcome into a bounded copy-ready loop, or review an existing loop for weak checks, unsafe authority, unbounded repetition, stale state, or unclear stopping behavior.Design★ 28.6K
- agentsop-regression-gateagentsope/SkillAlchemyBuild a held-out eval set, run it on every prompt/model change, and block regressions in CI. An LM change is a code change — gate it with a test suite (eval set + metric + threshold). Cross-framework SOP not surfaced by any single base skill.Testing★ 445
- agentsop-llm-tool-idempotencyagentsope/SkillAlchemyDecision protocol for making side-effectful agent tools idempotent — so when an LLM tool call is retried (timeout, framework resume, user re-run, model duplicate emit), the second call is a no-op instead of a double-send. The load-bearing premise: the LM cannot promise it'll call exactly once; the tool must promise the second call is safe. Framework-agnostic — applies to LangGraph node bodies that re-run on resume, MCP tools, OpenAI tool-calling retries, CrewAI delegated tool invocations, and direct HTTP wrappers. Search keywords: duplicate email sent, charged twice, exactly-once, idempotency key, tool called twice, retry side effect, double-send, at-least-once delivery.Productivity★ 445
- agentsop-streaming-outputagentsope/SkillAlchemyEnhancement-overlay decision protocol for STREAMING the output of long-running LLM / agent runs from the *backend*, not just wiring a typing animation in the UI. Activates when a coder agent must stream final tokens to a chat client, surface intermediate agent steps (which tool, which node, partial reasoning), emit custom tool-progress events, choose a transport (SSE vs WebSocket), or decide what to do when the client disconnects mid-stream. The langchain / langgraph skills mention stream modes but stop at "you can stream"; this skill encodes *what to stream, over what transport, and how to fail safely*.Design★ 445
