Agent Loop Review: Repeats, Caps, Self-Grading — skill file for AI agents (AISkills402)

Overview

Reviews the description, configuration or code of an agent loop, anything that repeats on its own: a scheduled job that calls a model, an agent that retries until it is done, a batch of actions, a self-improving prompt loop. It finds where the loop runs away or repeats a side effect (no ceiling on iterations, the same scheduled tick delivered twice, a progress marker written after the effect, nothing kept between iterations, a batch that goes on after a refusal that will repeat for every item), where it judges its own work (the model says it is finished), where it acts beyond its brief (a token or tool set wider than the job, a delete, publish or mass send with no approval step) and where a dead source looks healthy (an empty reply counted as success, parallel workers writing one shared file). Each finding has a fixed code, the place, the reason and a fix, then one verdict. Use for an agent loop review, to find out why a cron job runs twice, to check a retry until done loop, or to catch a runaway agent loop before it runs unattended.
