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.

Break this issue into a paired implementation and CI plan -
Hand this feature off to a tiered team of coding agents
Frequently asked questions
- Is the Agent Loop skill free?
- Yes. The skill itself is free from vinnie357/claude-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.
- Does Agent Loop work with Claude Code?
- We tested it with Claude Code 2.x (agent harness) on Jul 14, 2026. Verdict: Works with setup. 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.
- What is the Agent Loop SkillProof Score?
- 8.4/10 — installs cleanly 4/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 8/10, docs & honesty 4/5.
- How do I install Agent Loop?
- Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.
- Can I use Agent Loop with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?
- The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.
