build-loop
From the author
Drive a build to actually-works, near-finish-line craft by looping build → see → exercise → check → critique → rebuild over the agent's existing tools (bash build/test, headless screenshot + vision, Playwright, axe/Lighthouse) until acceptance criteria pass or an explicit stop-condition fires — no infinite thrash. ALWAYS invoke when the user says any of "tighten this build", "iterate until it passes", "self-verify the UI", "make it actually work, not just compile", "loop until the core flows pass", or "drive this to near-finish-line". Also invoke proactively after a scaffold or feature lands and before handing a draft to a human. Composition-first over existing tools, not a new program; it states its own honest bounds — objective craft only, taste self-graded, ~80% ceiling, market validation out of scope. Do NOT use to decide WHAT to build (that's ideate) or whether a design/strategy is sound (deep-dive).

- loop-engineeringtelagod/code-abyssThe engineering loop - select, advance, distill, deliver - for running a work session on a project. Invoke when STARTING a session or picking the next thing to work on; sizing a unit of work or matching it to your model tier; running long/autonomously and deciding pace or when to stop; deciding where a learning should live (lesson vs memory vs project-level skill); or wrapping up a unit/session (commit, report, handoff note).Engineering★ 242
- autopilotnelsonwerd/idea-to-ship-skillsRun the idea-to-ship pipeline AUTONOMOUSLY, in character as a grounded founder-persona — composing ideate → deep-dive → prompt-pack → build-loop to take a real, grounded niche to a near-finish-line-AIMED first-draft product plus an honest ledger of what only a human or the market can finish. ALWAYS invoke when the user says any of "run autopilot", "build this idea→ship autonomously", "spin up a grounded founder and build it", "fly the whole pipeline end to end", or "autonomous first-draft from a concept". It composes the existing skills, never reimplementing them, and states its honest bounds — a near-finish-line first draft, NOT a finished or market-validated product (~80% craft ceiling; grounding firewall; its go/kill calls are a signal). Do NOT use to drive each phase by hand (use the skills directly), when there's no real grounding (you'd be inventing demand), or when you need market validation (the human handoff).Other★ 90
- gauntletoprogramadorreal/optimus-claudeRuns a Gauntlet Loop: turns an ambitious goal into a builder/critic prompt judged against a concrete quality bar, confirms with the user, then leads the run until the output beats the bar or the user stops it — or exports a paste-ready /goal prompt for a fresh session. Use for long-horizon goals with an inspectable reference. Long-running; spawns many subagents, edits project files, and commits and pushes finished pieces to a feature branch.Writing★ 74
- build-checkarcasilesgroup/ai-engineeringRun the project's objective quality gates — typecheck, lint, tests, and a production build, whatever this project actually uses — then diagnose any failure down to the file and root cause. Use before committing, opening a PR, or declaring work done, and whenever asked whether the code compiles, typechecks, lints, tests, or builds.Testing★ 61
- vibe-quality-loopash1794/vibe-engineeringRuns the Implement→Review→Test→Fix cycle until the work is actually clean, with evidence. Use after any non-trivial implementation and before claiming it is done.Testing★ 165
- audit-and-fixnelsonwerd/idea-to-ship-skillsAudit an existing codebase, then autonomously implement the fixes it judges worth making against your next goal — composing deep-dive → triage → prompt-pack → build-loop to turn "here's what's wrong" into verified, receipted local commits + an honest ledger. ALWAYS invoke when the user says any of "audit this repo and fix what you find", "audit and edit", "deep dive then fix the bugs", "implement the audit's recommendations", "plan and execute these fixes", or "autopilot this repo but skip the ideation". It composes those skills, never reimplementing them. Honest bounds: a receipt records what ran, it never proves correctness; the deep-dive→triage→pack half is proven, the build-loop seam is not; local commits only, never push/merge/tag/publish. Do NOT use to audit with no intent to change (deep-dive), for a change you already know you want (prompt-pack + build-loop), for a new idea with no codebase (autopilot), or for feature work — it fixes what the audit found, nothing more.Writing★ 90
