# Loop Engineering

<skill_contract>
  <input>A repeatable task with inspectable state, finite budgets, permissions, and an independent verifier.</input>
  <output>A validated Trigger -> Execute -> Verify -> State contract plus resumable run receipts.</output>
  <done>The declared metric or stop condition is supported by fresh validator and verifier evidence.</done>
  <non_goals>Dependency-graph orchestration, unbounded autonomy, or self-certified completion.</non_goals>

Build loops only when repeated execution creates evidence. Every loop needs admission, a validated contract, durable state, independent evaluation, bounded retries, stop/recovery rules, and a final receipt.

## Usage Template

Provide: objective, trigger, scope/non-goals, inputs, state/artifact paths, metric, verifier, permissions, budgets, stop condition, recovery, and write-back. See `references/ci-repair-loop-example.md` for a worked contract.
