Loopy

Loopy is Forward Future's loop library plus an installable loopy skill for finding, adapting, crafting, running, and debriefing repeatable AI-agent workflows. It should be Kevin's default route when a prompt says "keep improving" but lacks a check or stop condition.

Routing Summary

Use loopy when the task is to create or run a bounded feedback loop: code improvement, product evaluation, documentation freshness, skill quality, bookmark absorption, content quality, or other recurring agent work. Pair it with Agent Self-Improvement Eval Library when the loop's judge needs to be benchmarked or evolved.

Do not use Loopy as permission for an agent to run forever. A usable loop needs a goal, check, next action, stop condition, and handoff condition. Source: Forward-Future/loopy README, 2026-06-29

What It Adds

Loopy separates the library from the skill:

This maps directly to Kevin's No One-Off Work rule: when a workflow repeats, first run it manually, then turn the pattern into a bounded loop, then codify it as a skill or automation when it proves useful.

Kevin-Stack Use

• Skill creation: use local loopy before skill-creator when the requested skill is a repeated loop rather than a static procedure.
• Agent self-improvement: use Agent Self-Improvement Eval Library for the evaluator, then Loopy for the improvement loop around that evaluator.
• Bookmark artifacts: when a bookmark describes a workflow, promote the thought into a loop skill, playbook, or automation instead of leaving a hub note.
• Product/content no-slop loops: the reviewed marketing-agent diagram is a Loopy-shaped workflow: context gate, freshness gate, two-model review, taste/proof, then a loop back to research. Route the executable content rule through Frontend and Design Skills and Social Content OS. Source: X/@EXM7777 and local artifact review, 2026-07-04

Timeline

• 2026-07-04 | Attached the reviewed agentic marketing no-slop workflow as content-loop evidence: context, freshness, review, taste/proof, and loopback are the minimum bounded-loop shape. Source: X/@EXM7777, 2026-06-28; local artifact review, 2026-07-04
• 2026-07-03 | Refreshed Loopy and Loop Library source status: repo still untagged at HEAD cc7cb17, 2,304 stars, 201 forks, MIT; live catalog now exposes 70 published loops and agent-readable catalog files. Source: GitHub and Loop Library catalog, 2026-07-03
• 2026-06-29 | Promoted from hub artifact to first-class tool page and local loopy skill after Kevin requested using Loopy to craft loop skills. Source: User request, 2026-06-29; raw/x-bookmarks/enriched/2070876072619765805.json
