Loop engineering
A practice of building where an agent keeps rerunning and checking its own work, with set rules for when it stops and when it asks a person to step in.
Often confused with
- Agent loop The cycle an agent repeats: decide the next step, take it with a tool, look at the result, and go again until the job is done or something stops it.

- Agent harness The structure around a model that turns it into one working agent: its interface, agent loop, own context and memory, permissions, and list of allowed tools.
- Orchestration The coordination and triggering of agents or steps: deciding what runs when, passing results between them, and handling failures.
- Software factory A software development pipeline where people supply the instructions and checks, and agents do most of the building, testing and fixing.
