How to Improve Your /goal by Designing a Loop Before Launching It

A poorly designed loop quickly wastes tokens and produces garbage. Therefore, it's important to spend time designing a loop harness.

Instead of just writing /goal and hoping it works, first run it through the LOOPER skill, which:

• critiques your loop and provides best practices from the library
• assembles a verification rubric so the loop understands what 'done' means
• allows you to connect an LLM as a judge, including Codex and models other than Claude
• sets token limits and budgets—either strict or flexible—to keep the process on track
• exports everything as a portable artifact that can be reused and edited
• provides a visual diagram of the loop

This design layer helps create a loop that produces quality output and then passes it to Claude Code or other models. 🐸🐸
