Boris Cherny loop methodology + agent-loop skill
A fact-checked knowledge base of Claude Code creator Boris Cherny's loop methodology, packaged as a runnable agent-loop skill you can drop straight into Claude Code.
Implementation note
When to use: you want to learn or standardize on loop practice from the source — Boris Cherny created Claude Code, and this packages his loop methodology in runnable form rather than as scattered posts. How it works: a fact-checked knowledge base of Cherny's methodology for running Claude Code in loops, shipped with a runnable agent-loop skill in skill/agent-loop/ that you can drop straight into Claude Code and invoke. The knowledge-base half explains the reasoning; the skill half executes the pattern, so the methodology and its implementation stay in sync. Safety: fact-checked is the notable attribute — loop advice attributed to Cherny circulates widely with varying accuracy, and this repo's stated purpose is verifying claims before packaging them. Still treat the skill like any third-party skill: read what it does before running it, and apply your own turn caps and branch discipline around it.

More planning loops
Implement feature X autonomously
Ralph runs until it outputs DONE, implementing the feature end-to-end over up to 20 iterations.
Ship GOALS.md phases 1-13
Implement each GOALS.md phase with tests and validation, committing and pushing after stable milestones until unblocked.
Execute roadmap phases to completion
Work through each phase in your roadmap, verify each one, run the final audit, and stop when all phases pass.
