loopify

# /loopify — Set up an agent loop Wizard for going from *"this task should run periodically"* to a working loop with the right pacing, idempotency, and bail-out. Reference: `ScheduleWakeup` (dynamic pacing), `CronCreate` (fixed schedule), and the built-in `/loop` (dynamic self-paced re-entry). ## Step 0 — Confirm what you're looping Ask if not obvious from context: *"What task should this loop do each iteration?"* Then get the essentials: | Question | Why it matters | |---|---| | **How often?** | Determines cron vs dynamic vs one-shot | | **When to stop?** | Bail-out condition — loops must have one | | **What's the loop body doing?** | Determines idempotency requirements | | **Where does output go?** | File / notification / commit / nothing | | **What's the failure mode if it runs twice?** | Idempotency validation | ## Step 1 — Pick the pattern Three primary patterns. Route by the answer to "how often": ### Pattern A — Cron (fixed schedule) **Use when**: task runs at predictable intervals — daily at 8am, weekly on Fridays, hourly on the hour. Tool: `CronCreate` — schedules a recurring task with a cron expression. ``` CronCreate({ schedule: "0 8 * * *", // daily at 8am local prompt: "<loop body prompt>", timezone: "America/Los_Angeles" }) ``` Common cron patterns: - `0 8 * * *` — daily at 8am - `0 9 * * 1` — Mondays at 9am - `0 9 * * 5` — Fridays at 9am - `0 */2 * * *` — every 2 hours - `*/15 * * * *` — every 15 minutes **Trade-offs:** - ✅ Predicta...
