loop-forge
Turn a one-line description of a repetitive task into a reusable, self-guarding slash command. loop-forge diagnoses the task into one of 5 loop shapes (Batch / Pipeline / Refine / Watch / Explore), interviews for the blanks, and auto-injects two safety devices the user didn't know they needed — an independent verifier (maker ≠ checker) and a hardstop (a budget/count/cooldown ceiling) — then previews the result and stamps it as a `/command` they can run forever. Use when the user says "/loop", "/loop-forge", "/make-it-loop", "automate this", "make this repeatable", "turn this into a command", "do this for all 100 items", "do X every time Y happens", "generate several and pick the best", or otherwise wants to capture a recurring task as a reusable slash command instead of re-typing the prompt by hand. Works in any language: it interviews the user and writes the stamped command in the user's own language. Non-goal — it does not schedule unattended runs (launchd/cron) or publish externally on its own; it stamps the reusable command and stops there.

# loop-forge — stamp a guarded, reusable loop (`/loop-forge`)
> Picture an engraving shop. A customer who can't engrave walks in and just
> *describes* the seal they keep needing — "I want to do this over and over."
> The artisan ① recognizes which of 5 standard molds (loop shapes) it is, ② asks
> what letters to cut (the blanks), ③ cuts them into a proven mold, ④ automatically
> fits a "misprint detector" (the verifier) and an "out-of-ink stop" (the hardstop),
> ⑤ pulls one test impression to show the customer, and ⑥ once they approve, hands
> back a reusable `/command` they can stamp again any time — the same in Claude Code
> and in any other agent via a paste-able prompt.
## What this tool actually does
Someone who doesn't code can't author a reusable `/command` that makes an AI repeat
