# Awesome Loop Engineering

> Practical resources and reusable patterns for Loop Engineering: the practice of designing recurring AI-agent and coding-agent systems that discover work, delegate to agents, verify results, persist state, and run again on a cadence or until a verifiable goal is reached.

## Core

- [README](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering/blob/main/README.md): the full resource guide with the Loop Contract, design checklist, and maturity model
- [Working definition](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering/blob/main/DEFINITION.md): short definition, positioning, and minimal loop test
- [Taxonomy](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering/blob/main/TAXONOMY.md): classification by trigger, intake, verification, state model, and topology
- [Anti-patterns](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering/blob/main/ANTI-PATTERNS.md): common loop failure modes

## Patterns

- [Pattern library](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering/blob/main/patterns/README.md): operational loop patterns with triggers, gates, budgets, and escalation
- [Pattern matrix](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering/blob/main/patterns/MATRIX.md): every pattern compared by trigger, gate, state, and budget, indexed by symptom
- [Loop contracts](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering/blob/main/examples/README.md): schema-checked contract JSON for every pattern, plus runnable reference loops
- [Runtime selection guide](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering/blob/main/meta/RUNTIME_SELECTION.md): choosing where a loop runs by persistence, file access, isolation, and permissions

## Data

- [Resource sheet (CSV)](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering/blob/main/data/resources.csv): all entries with section, type, and summary columns
- [Resource sheet (JSONL)](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering/blob/main/data/resources.jsonl): the same rows as line-delimited JSON
- [Hugging Face dataset](https://huggingface.co/datasets/cy0307/awesome-loop-engineering): mirrored dataset with a data viewer over all entries
- [Source check](https://github.com/ChaoYue0307/awesome-loop-engineering/blob/main/data/resource_source_audit.csv): per-entry link status, HTTP response, and repository metadata
