With a Real CI Automation Example
Loop Engineering is suddenly everywhere, and honestly, I wanted to understand it properly instead of just repeating the buzzword. The simplest way I can explain Loop Engineering is this: it replaces me as the person constantly prompting the agent.
Instead of me manually noticing a problem, deciding what it means, writing the next prompt, and pushing the process forward, I design a system that keeps moving on its own until it reaches the outcome I want. That is the whole point of Loop Engineering. I stop acting like the operator and start acting like the system designer.
To make that idea concrete, I built a practical software engineering workflow around CI failures. Whenever a GitHub Actions CI run fails, the system automatically classifies the failure, creates a Jira bug for real issues, sends a Slack notification, and records the outcome so it does not process the same failure twice.
