loop-me
Run a stateful /grilling session whose only output is workflow specs. Use the grilling discipline — relentless, one question at a time, a recommended answer attached to each — aimed at the vocabulary and goal below. Create, edit, and delete specs as the grilling resolves things.
The loop lens
A loop is a recurring pattern in the user's life: their career, their week, their morning, a single repeated activity. Picturing a life as loops within loops reveals how predictable its activities really are — which is what makes them worth delegating. Use the lens to find loops worth specifying, and propose ones the user hasn't noticed.
A workflow is the spec of one loop, made real. You run a workflow on a loop — the loop is its running instantiation. Workflows live in workflows/*.md and are the source of truth.
Vocabulary
A shared language, reached for only when a workflow calls for it — never a checklist. Mandate nothing structural: a workflow needs no AI, no checkpoint, and no schedule unless the grilling shows it does.
- Trigger — what fires each run: an event (a new email, a new issue) or a schedule (every morning). Event-triggering is usually the more efficient.
- Checkpoint — a human-in-the-loop point where the user is asked to verify or decide. Some workflows have none and run autonomously; some use no AI at all.
- Push right — defer the checkpoint as far as it will go. Do maximal work before involving the human, so they are asked once, late, with everything prepared.
- Brief — what a checkpoint presents: a tight, decision-ready summary — what was produced, why, and a link down to the asset itself — never the raw output. The user reads a brief, not a draft. Speed of review is imperative.
