Chain validate-issue → (conditional) update issue → work-on-issue-loop into one autonomous run, so an issue goes from "reported" to "PR through N rounds of review" without a human in the loop between steps. This is validate-issue's normal interactive handoff (→ Reply "work on issue") made unattended: the loop reads its own verdict and decides what to do next, instead of waiting for the user to type a reply.
Validate Issue Loop is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the automation sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/validate-issue-loop/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
When to invoke it: Use when the user asks to validate a GitHub issue and then autonomously drive it to a reviewed PR in one shot — "validate and work on this issue", "validate-issue-loop", "fully automate issue #N". Runs validate-issue, auto-applies its update-issue edits when the verdict calls for it, then hands off to work-on-issue-loop — stopping instead when validation flags the issue as too large, architecturally infeasible, or already addressed by an existing PR.
The Validate Issue Loop Claude Code skill is built for Claude Code users and developers across all disciplines looking for general-purpose AI assistance. It's part of ClaudSkills (also referred to as Claude Skills or Claude Code Skills) — the open community-curated registry of 174,000+ SKILL.md files for Anthropic's Claude Code agent and the wider Claude ecosystem (Claude API, Claude Agent SDK).
