More automation loops
claude-progress.txt harness pattern (Anthropic)
Anthropic's first-party file-as-memory harness for long-running agents: every fresh-context session recovers state from a progress file and the git log, does one unit of work, updates the file, commits, and exits.
Run an autonomous dev team across GitHub repos (looper)
Runs Claude Code/Codex as an autonomous multi-role dev team — planner → reviewer ↔ fixer → worker — across all of a user's GitHub repos, entirely driven by issue labels. Each loop runs in its own git worktree so multiple repos/issues proceed in parallel without collisions.
Auto-complete TODOs, keep tests green
Work through unfinished TODOs in progress.md, implement each, run tests/lint/build, and continue until the backlog is done.
