You're still typing every turn
The guy who built the tool wrote the loop that types them for him
"I don't prompt Claude anymore
I write loops that prompt Claude"
A loop takes four shapes
turn-based, you close it each round
goal-based - all tests pass, stop after 5 tries
time-based - every 10 min, fix what's red, overnight
proactive - CI breaks, agents fix it and open a PR, no human at all
A judge closes the loop, not you
The prompt was never the unit of work
the loop is
Full breakdown below
Most AI agents don't break because the model is weak.
They break because nobody engineered the system around it.
A reliable agent needs three things:
Time. State. Execution.
Time
Defines how long the agent can keep trying, how much it can spend, and what actually counts as progress.
If the loop is repeating without new evidence, it's not autonomous.
It's stuck with a budget.
State
Defines what the agent knows, where it is in the workflow, and which transitions are allowed.
Bad state doesn't always crash the system.
Sometimes it just makes every next decision slightly worse.
Execution
Defines what the agent can touch.
Tools. Permissions. Runtime. Side effects.
The model can suggest anything.
The system decides what gets permission to become real.
Good models generate actions. Good architecture prevents bad ones from escaping.
