Loop Engineering

This article discusses the emerging concept of 'loop engineering' in AI-assisted coding. It explains how developers are shifting from manually prompting coding agents to designing recursive systems that autonomously prompt agents, check work, and iterate until goals are complete. The article outlines five key components of a loop: automations, worktrees, skills, plugins, and sub-agents, plus a memory store. It highlights insights from industry figures like Peter Steinberger and Boris Cherny, and notes that this approach is tool-agnostic, working across platforms like Codex and Claude Code. The author expresses cautious optimism about the future of coding with AI agents.
