What Is Loopcraft? From Prompt Engineering to Agent Loop System Design

Short summary

Loopcraft is a system design discipline for automating repeated agent execution, not just single interactions. Rather than humans prompting agents step-by-step, loops automate task discovery, execution, verification, and continuation—shifting from 'human → prompt → agent' to autonomous workflows with built-in quality control. The concept synthesizes existing pieces like RAO loops, CI/CD, and verification into a framework for designing scalable, long-running agent systems.

• •Loopcraft shifts focus from optimizing single agent interactions to designing repeated execution loops
• •Key difference from Agent Harness: harness enables one agent run reliably; loopcraft handles triggering, verification, and continuation across runs
• •Practical example: CI failures can be automatically diagnosed, fixed, tested, and PR'd without human intervention at each step
