Agent Workflow Loops
This skill defines the operational loops that implementer agents follow when making code changes and writing tests. Each loop has explicit entry criteria, exit criteria, and escalation rules. If you are an agent, follow these loops exactly.
You do not review your own work. All reviews are performed by an independent reviewer. Prefer Claude via the bundled scripts. If Claude is unavailable, use a different model before asking your own model family to review. Same-model shell-outs are the last resort. You never grade your own homework.
