About loop-engineering

For developers using Grok, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and other AI coding agents. A loop is a recursive goal: you define a purpose and the AI iterates (often with sub-agents, verification, and external state) until the goal is complete or the loop decides to hand off to you. → Interactive showcase + pattern picker → Loop Engineering essay (Substack) Canonical essay by Addy Osmani
