Run a spec-driven agent loop where coding tasks live as markdown specs that move through inbox → active → archive, get implemented by Claude Code or Codex, and pass a review gate before they count as done. Use when the user mentions "loop factory", a "spec-driven loop", an "agent factory", wants repeatable/reviewable agent work, or when a repo has a factory/specs/inbox or factory/specs/active directory. Also covers installing and scaffolding the loop-factory CLI into a project.

## Install

```sh
git clone https://github.com/JuliusBrussee/skills /tmp/skills && ln -s /tmp/skills/skills/loop-factory ~/.claude/skills/loop-factory
```

## From README

Loop Factory Loop Factory turns "ask an agent to build something" into a visible assembly line. Each task is a markdown spec. The folder the spec lives in is its state. Agents implement and verify; they never decide what to build. The one rule that governs everything: automate implementation and verification, not product decisions. If a spec is missing a decision, record the open question — do not invent product direction. Invoke this skill on demand by typing /loop-factory (one manual pass), or let a cron fire it unattended — see Autonomous mode. When to use this skill Setting up Loop Factory in a repo (installing the CLI, running init). Picking a spec out of the inbox and dispatching it to Claude Code or Codex. Implementing a spec against its acceptance criteria. Reviewing finished work and archiving accepted specs. Backpropagating implementation learnings into the living specs/docs. (first time in a repo) The loop-factory CLI is the state engine.
