Research loops

Recurring research digests and competitor watch, with every claim traced to a source. No coding required.

2 loops graded A or B in this category.

4 more graded C — they stop on their own, but run fewer checks than A or B. Show the 4 C loops →

Source-verified brief loop

Write a one-page brief where every claim has three or more sources and every link is opened and confirmed to support the claim — the loop that catches hallucinated citations a single prompt never can.

/goal write a one-page brief on [TOPIC] where every claim has at least three sources and every link opens to a real page that supports the claim. Open each link to confirm it before you call it done. Replace any source that is dead or does not back up the claim. Done when every source check passes on every claim — maximum 30 iterations.

Hard-question escalation queue

Send every question to a cheap model first; escalate to Fable only on a logged failure.

prompt
→ Claude Code
/loop cadence: on-demand queue. For each incoming question in the queue, a cheap model attempts an answer and self-checks against [CRITERIA]. Append (question, cheap-model verdict, pass/fail) to state-file escalation-log.md. Escalate to Fable ONLY where the cheap model logged a failure; Fable answers just those. Read + own-file writes only. Stop when the queue is empty; log errors and stop. Budget: cheap-first, cap $[X]/run. Hard cap: stop after 1 iteration per run.
