# Loops — find, install, run & build recurring agents
The full lifecycle for **agentic loops** — the `LOOP.md` format behind [agenticloops.dev](https://agenticloops.dev).
> An agentic loop is an installable, recurring AI agent defined in one file: a **trigger**, a set of **skills**, and a **prompt**. One file defines it; any harness (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, GitHub Actions, a 5dive runtime) can install and run it on a schedule.
This one skill covers the whole lifecycle — the loop-level analogue of `find-skills` **and** `skill-creator` in one:
1. **Find** an existing loop in the directory
2. **Install / run** it on your harness
3. **Author** a new `LOOP.md` when nothing fits
**Always try 1–2 before 3.** Search the directory and install an existing loop when one fits; only build a new one when nothing does. The authoritative format is spec v0.1 at [github.com/5dive-ai/loops](https://github.com/5dive-ai/loops); when a field is ambiguous, defer to the spec.
The CLI for the whole flow is `npx agenticloops` (`find` · `install` · `run` · `list` · `update`). On a 5dive runtime, the native path is `5dive loop find|show|install`.

## Part A — Find & install an existing loop
Do this first whenever the user wants a recurring agent for a job.
### A1. Understand the job
Identify the **job** (competitive intel, PR triage, security scan, news digest), the **cadence** (hourly, daily, on an event), and whether it's a single-agent job or a pipeline (gather → draft → publish = a
