Write Good Loops
Use when a user wants to build an agent LOOP in Boardwalk, a workflow that iterates until a goal is reached rather than running once. Covers find/fix/verify loops, poll-until-healthy, drain-a-queue, and run-on-a-schedule maintainers. Teaches the core loop shape (plain control flow over agent()), the layered exits every loop needs (a verifier, a hard iteration cap, a budget plus usage.get() self-governing, no-progress detection), choosing the topology (one long run with while+sleep vs a recurring cron trigger of many short runs vs workflows.schedule for runtime-computed cadences), splitting the maker from the checker for verification, carrying durable state across runs, and never paying for idle wait. Pairs with boardwalk-use-cli for scaffolding, validating (boardwalk check), and running the loop.

From the source SKILL.md
Use this skill whenever the user wants an agent to keep going until a job is done instead of running a single prompt: find every bug in a diff, drain a queue, watch a service until it's healthy, or maintain a repo every night. A loop is how you hand the whole find → act → check → repeat cycle to the workflow, so the user defines the goal once instead of re-prompting each step.
What this skill does
Write Good Loops is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the general-misc sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/write-good-loops/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.
