Loops — find, install, run & build recurring agents

The full lifecycle for agentic loops — the LOOP.md format behind agenticloops.dev.

An agentic loop is an installable, recurring AI agent defined in one file: a trigger, a set of skills, and a prompt. One file defines it; any harness (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Actions, a 5dive runtime) can install and run it on a schedule.

This one skill covers the whole lifecycle — the loop-level analogue of find-skills and skill-creator in one:

1. Find an existing loop in the directory
2. Install / run it on your harness
3. Author a new LOOP.md when nothing fits

Always try 1–2 before 3. Search the directory and install an existing loop when one fits; only build a new one when nothing does. The authoritative format is spec v0.1 at github.com/5dive-ai/loops; when a field is ambiguous, defer to the spec.

The CLI for the whole flow is npx agenticloops (find · install · run · list · update). On a 5dive runtime, the native path is 5dive loop find|show|install.
