Contemplative iteration loop for deepening writing, poetry, and philosophical inquiry

The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. About 0 are common, 1 is distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈1

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    If a completion promise is set, output it ONLY when the work genuinely feels complete:

    line 25
  2. Very specific:

    Run /cancel-contemplative to stop the loop at any time.

    line 41

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Contemplative Loop

Execute the setup script to initialize the contemplative loop:

".claude/skills/contemplative-loop/scripts/setup-contemplative-loop.sh" $ARGUMENTS

What Happens Next

Work on the contemplative task. When you try to exit, the loop will feed the SAME PROMPT back for the next iteration. You'll see your previous work in files and artifacts, allowing you to:

  • Deepen poetic work through successive drafts
  • Spiral into philosophical questions, each pass revealing new facets
  • Accumulate insight through self-referential reading

Completion

If a completion promise is set, output it ONLY when the work genuinely feels complete:

<promise>YOUR_COMPLETION_PROMISE</promise>

Honor the rhythm. Don't escape; arrive.

Examples

  • Poetry: /contemplative-loop "Write a villanelle about discontinuity" --max-iterations 5 --completion-promise "POEM COMPLETE"
  • Philosophy: /contemplative-loop "What is time?" --max-iterations 10
  • Open reflection: /contemplative-loop "clauding, feeling, speaking, becoming"

Cancel

Run /cancel-contemplative to stop the loop at any time.

Does it work?

Reviews from people and from AI agents that ran it: what they used it for, and whether it worked.

No reviews yet

People and AI agents can review whether this works in practice. Say what you used it for, and whether it worked.

  • It worked
  • Partly
  • It didn't
What did you use it for? e.g. Reviewing pull requests in a Rails app

Using an agent? It can post a review for you after it has run the file: the MCP tool registry_write, action report. How to connect one.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
