Loop Engineering Is A Useful Shift

The agent conversation is moving from one-shot prompts toward repeated loops.

That shift is real. A useful agent loop can discover work, execute a task, verify the result, persist state, and schedule the next pass. It turns the human from the person writing every next instruction into the person designing the system that keeps useful work moving.

But the practical question is not whether loops are exciting.

The practical question is what a loop needs before it is safe enough to run against real code, browsers, APIs, files, credentials, or customer workflows.
