Some checks failed
CI — Test & Build / Test & Build (push) Has been cancelled
- Implemented a status bar item for LexAI with dynamic status updates (ready, processing, notReady). - Created a suggestion panel for displaying and interacting with AI-generated suggestions. - Added functionality for accepting, regenerating, and discarding suggestions within the suggestion zone. - Introduced configuration options for writing style, prompt patterns, personas, and formats. - Integrated progress indicators for long-running tasks and improved user feedback. - Established TypeScript configuration for the vscode package.

name: dev-loop

description: Run a bounded autonomous development loop (Steinberger-style) over one or more repositories or task queues — triage, pick the highest-value bounded task, land it only behind full gates, and stop cleanly. Use for continuous maintenance sessions or scheduled background dev runs, not one-off edits.
|

Operate a controlled maintenance loop that makes steady, verified progress without human babysitting — and without ever landing unverified or unauthorized work. The lead owns routing and acceptance; this skill is the loop discipline. Adapt the cadence to the runtime: a live session iterates continuously; an unattended run (a Cloud Agent automation, `cursor-agent` in headless/CI mode, or a cron job) executes one pass per trigger.
|

|
|
## Loop
|
|
|
|
While maintenance is active, on each cycle:
|
|
|
|
1. **Triage.** List candidate work across the repositories/queues in scope (open tasks in `docs/TASKS.md`, failing checks, TODOs, dependency alerts, review comments). Read each repository's latest state before acting.
|
|
2. **One thread per repository.** Reuse a single working context/branch per repository; do not fragment a repo across parallel threads. Do not interrupt coherent active work already in progress — pick it up where it is or leave it alone.
|
|
3. **Pick one bounded task.** Choose the highest value-per-effort item that fits within granted permissions and a single cycle. Write or update its contract in `docs/TASKS.md`. If it needs a decision you can't make, mark it decision-ready and move on.
|
|
4. **Execute within permission.** Delegate implementation to `builder` (or do the minimal change) on the named files only. Never expand scope, and never take destructive or external actions without explicit authorization.
|
|
5. **Landing gates — all required before anything lands:**
|
|
- tests written/updated and passing,
|
|
- live proof the change does what it claims (run it, not just read it),
|
|
- independent review (`verifier`; add `security-auditor`/`critic` for sensitive changes),
|
|
- green CI.
|
|
If any gate is red, do not land — fix or revert, then re-run the gates.
|
|
6. **Escalate, don't guess.** Stop and surface anything touching product direction, access/permissions, security, cost, or irreversible action. Leave it decision-ready with the options laid out.
|
|
7. **Record.** For every meaningful change, update `docs/HANDOFF.md` (state, changed paths, checks) and move finished contracts out of Active in `docs/TASKS.md`. Trigger `continuous-improvement` on a verified failure.
|
|
|
|
## Stop condition
|
|
|
|
End the run when every in-scope item is one of: **landed**, **decision-ready** (blocked on the user), **blocked** (external dependency), or **no work left**. Do not invent work to stay busy — an idle, clean stop is a success. Report a one-screen summary: landed, awaiting-decision, blocked, and next cadence.
|
|
|
|
## Scheduling
|
|
|
|
To run this unattended, drive one pass per trigger from a Cloud Agent automation or `cursor-agent` in headless mode against this repository. Keep the per-run budget explicit (max tasks/turns) so a scheduled run can't sprawl.
