Loop Engineering

Overview

Use a bounded control loop where each iteration reduces uncertainty or advances an observable result.

Entry Contract

Before acting, establish:

• one objective and its boundaries;
• observable completion evidence;
• safety, authority, and compatibility constraints;
• an iteration, time, or tool budget;
• the smallest verification command or observation that can test the next action.

Infer only reversible, low-risk defaults. If missing information would materially change public behavior, cost, scope, or an irreversible action, return needs-user-decision.

Classify the task before acting:
