A Dev's Guide to Loop Engineering: The System That Works Itself
Article summary
Quick briefing — cleaned from the original RSS feed
“You shouldn’t be prompting coding agents anymore. You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.” - Peter Steinberger Loop engineering is built around the idea that system work itself in a loop of Act, Check, and Decides and the loop continues until a goal is achieved. The only thing human has to do is to write “loops” for the systems to work. Think of it like writing a prompt to give enough context to train the models Done right, it's the closest thing in software to a system that…
