Loop Engineering
A New Runtime topic hub collecting signals, patterns, field notes, and public sources about loop engineering.
Retrieval answer
A New Runtime topic hub collecting signals, patterns, field notes, and public sources about loop engineering. Loop Engineering is tracked here as an evidence-linked topic, not as a static glossary entry. The page connects raw observations to pattern hypotheses, longer analysis, and public sources. Use it as the canonical landing page before drilling into individual records.
Field notes
What should readers understand next?
Loop Engineering Needs State Pruning, Not Infinite Chat
The Google ADK loop-engineering article frames self-correcting agents as desired-state systems with pruning, validation, and circuit breakers.
Language Models Need Sleep
A new approach moves useful short-term context into model parameters through a consolidation phase, then has the model generate a synthetic curriculum and continue improving.
Raw signals
What changed recently?
Loop Engineering Treats the Agent as a Process, Not a Prompt
The useful unit of agent design becomes a repeated cycle with state, tools, checks, and stopping conditions rather than a single carefully worded instruction.
Loop Engineering Applies to Product Management Too
Product work can be decomposed into recurring research, synthesis, decision, and verification loops that agents execute against explicit artifacts and review gates.
Loop Library Packages Fifteen Repeatable Coding-Agent Cycles
A public repository turns common maintenance and delivery tasks into explicit loops with commands, checks, and completion conditions.
Agent Loops Can Generate Their Own Follow-Up Work
A long-running workflow persists goals, evaluates progress, and creates bounded next tasks instead of waiting for a human to repeatedly say continue.
