filefunction / class

Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Copy a ready-made /loop command to have your AI coding tool recheck a pull request or test suite on a schedule.

REASON 2

Use a /goal command so the agent keeps working until tests pass and lint is clean, without step-by-step prompting.

REASON 3

Set up a /schedule command to triage new issues each morning or keep docs updated after every push.

Wtf does this do

Awesome Agent Loops is a curated list of copy-paste commands for Claude Code and Codex, the two AI coding tools. The list focuses entirely on three built-in commands that make these tools keep working without you prompting them step by step: /loop, /goal, and /schedule. The /loop command repeats a prompt on a time interval, like checking a pull request every 20 minutes or running your test suite every 15 minutes and reporting failures. The /goal command runs until a stated condition becomes true, so you can tell the agent to keep going until all tests pass and lint is clean without specifying every step. The /schedule command runs a prompt in the cloud on a recurring schedule, useful for things like triaging new issues each morning or keeping documentation up to date after every code push. Each entry in the list is a real command sourced from posts on Twitter/X, credited to the original poster. They cover common engineering tasks: eliminating flaky tests, fixing a build until it compiles, migrating an old API across an entire codebase, getting a pull request green on CI, reaching a test coverage target, and cleaning up messy AI-generated code. Each prompt includes a brief explanation of when to use it and a link back to the source post. The README also explains a recommended structure for composing these commands together: put /loop on the outside to set a schedule, /goal inside it to define a finish condition, and a skill command at the center to do the actual work. This nesting prevents the loop from stopping early and keeps it focused on a concrete outcome. The list is released under the CC BY 4.0 license.
