METHODOLOGIE

Loop Engineering

The design and tuning of the iterative cycle an autonomous coding agent runs — plan, act, observe, correct — including how results are fed back, when the loop terminates, and how errors are recovered. The loop, rather than any single prompt, is treated as the core unit to engineer.

Origin

A practitioner term treating an agent's act-observe-correct loop, rather than a single prompt, as the object to engineer.
