The skill's own text admits its cross-plugin '/claude-code:*' loads won't resolve standalone, but understates the bigger problem: the standard single-folder install (cp -r .../agent-loop) also drops all nine 'mandatory' same-plugin skills it Skill-loads by name (/core:tdd, /core:restraint, /core:bees, /core:git, /core:mise, /core:nushell, /core:security, /core:twelve-factor, /core:anti-fabrication) — none of which exist after that copy.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 4/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 8/10
  • Docs & honesty 4/5

What Agent Loop does

Defines a 4-phase, 6-tier multi-agent workflow (codename Forge) for taking an epic or issue through decomposition, paired-team implementation, CI validation, and PR submission with per-tier model assignment. Triggers on epic/issue work phrasing ('work epic <id>', 'forge <id>') and, per its own description, on casual feature requests generally. Depends on nine sibling '/core:*' skills and an optional '/claude-code:*' plugin that are not included when only this skill folder is installed.

How to install Agent Loop

git clone https://github.com/vinnie357/claude-skills
cd claude-skills
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -r plugins/core/skills/agent-loop ~/.claude/skills/agent-loop

Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ (per-project). Restart Claude Code after installing.

Commands — how to trigger Agent Loop

  • /agent-loop Multi-agent epic-to-PR workflow: 4-phase execution, tiered models, TDD gates

It also activates on plain-language prompts like these:

  • Work this epic through decomposition to a finished pull request
  • Break this issue into a paired implementation and CI plan
  • Hand this feature off to a tiered team of coding agents
