Loops - Claude Code Templates

A loop is a recurring goal: Claude observes, plans, acts and verifies on an interval until a stop condition is true. A loop file describes the goal and lists the components it relies on.

Writes .claude/loops/docs-sweep-loop.md and installs every component in its components list.

Running it

Each loop says how to start it. Most use Claude Code’s /loop command:

/loop 30m "Compare the docs against the current code… Continue until docs and code fully agree."

A loop keeps spending tokens until its stop condition is met or you stop it. Start with a long interval and watch the first passes. Browse all loops at aitmpl.com/loops.
