Loop Start Command

Start a managed autonomous loop pattern with safety defaults.

Usage

/loop-start [pattern] [--mode safe|fast]

• pattern: sequential, continuous-pr, rfc-dag, infinite
• --mode:
  • safe (default): strict quality gates and checkpoints
  • fast: reduced gates for speed

Flow

1. Confirm repository state and branch strategy.
2. Select loop pattern and model tier strategy.
3. Enable required hooks/profile for the chosen mode.
4. Create loop plan and write runbook under .claude/plans/.
5. Print commands to start and monitor the loop.

Required Safety Checks

• Verify tests pass before first loop iteration.
• Ensure ECC_HOOK_PROFILE is not disabled globally.
• Ensure loop has explicit stop condition.

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS:

• <pattern> optional (sequential|continuous-pr|rfc-dag|infinite)
• --mode safe|fast optional
