What pacing modes are available for the loop?

The skill supports multiple pacing modes: 'worker' and 'ci' (270s delay), 'plateau' (1200s delay for retries), and 'night' (3600s delay for long-duration background work).

Does this skill integrate with project plans?

Yes, it is designed to read from Plans.md or named plans in your project manifest to identify, execute, and mark tasks as complete.

How can I stop an active autonomous loop?

You can use the command '/harness-loop stop' to request a graceful termination of the current runner, or it will stop automatically if it reaches the max-cycle limit or encounters a blocking issue.

What is the primary purpose of harness-loop?

It automates long-running development tasks by executing them in a continuous, self-governing cycle of planning, working, and reviewing across fresh Claude sessions.

How does it maintain context between wake-up cycles?

It utilizes ScheduleWakeup to trigger re-entry and employs harness-mem resume packs to restore the necessary state and context at the beginning of every cycle.

Harness Autonomous Loop: Claude Code Skill for Dev Automation

The harness-loop skill provides a robust framework for autonomous software development within Claude Code. By leveraging the /loop dynamic mode and ScheduleWakeup, it enables Claude to execute complex, multi-task roadmaps without manual supervision. The skill manages a complete Plan→Work→Review cycle for each task, ensuring high-quality output through automated reviews and context-aware restarts, making it ideal for large-scale refactors, overnight feature development, and long-running maintenance tasks.
