# thu-nmrc/openloop

中文名称：thu-nmrc/openloop

## Description

OpenLoop is an agent-agnostic loop engineering framework for play-test-fix-verify-improve cycles with logs, heartbeats, baselines, guardrails, and auditable stop conditions.

OpenLoop 是 agent-agnostic 的 loop engineering 框架，用于 play-test-fix-verify-improve 闭环，包含日志、heartbeat、baseline、guardrail 和可审计停止条件。

## Why It Was Selected

This repository was selected because its README clearly maps loop engineering to concrete monitoring and verification primitives: heartbeat state, progress logs, per-round artifacts, deterministic verification, baselines, timeouts, circuit breakers, and blocked states.

GitHub API snapshot: non-fork repository, Python, 55 stars, updated 2026-06-12 UTC.

## README SEO Report

### Detailed Overview

OpenLoop is a Python toolkit and prompt pack for monitored feedback loops around any software agent. It turns vague tasks such as "keep trying, find bugs, fix them, and do not stop until the project works" into a concrete workspace with state, logs, verification gates, baseline checks, circuit breakers, and reproducible reports.

The project is especially useful for loop engineering because it is agent-agnostic: every command can be a shell command, including tests, browser checks, load tests, benchmarks, package checks, local agents, cloud agents, or custom repair scripts.

### Installation

The README shows local Python installation:

```bash
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e .
```

### Usage

OpenLoop creates a workspace and runs a monitored loop:

```bash
openloop init .openloop/demo --project-root examples/demo_project \
  --mission "Keep the demo project working and above baseline"

openloop doctor .openloop/demo
openloop run .openloop/demo --max-rounds 1
openloop status .openloop/demo
```

### Capabilities

- Play, scan, fix, verify, improve loop protocol.
- `heartbeat.json`, `progress.md`, logs, artifacts, and knowledge files.
- Deterministic verification and optional baseline checks.
- Timeout, stall detection, OOM detection, and circuit breaker limits.
- Agent instruction pack and prompt templates.

## 3W FAQ

### What is this skill?

OpenLoop is a monitored loop engineering framework for software-agent workflows.

### Who is this skill for?

This skill is for teams that need agent-agnostic verification loops in development, testing, meta-tools, and AI machine learning workflows.

### When should you use it?

Use it when an agent loop needs heartbeats, logs, baseline checks, deterministic verification, or safe blocked states instead of infinite retries.

## 中文 3W FAQ

### What：这个 skill 是什么？

OpenLoop 是一个监控优先的 loop engineering 框架，把 play、scan、fix、verify、baseline 和 stop condition 做成可审计闭环。

### Who：适合谁使用？

适合处理 development、testing、meta-tools、AI machine learning 工作流的团队、开发者或 AI Agent。

### When：什么时候使用？

当 agent 工作流需要 heartbeat、日志、baseline、确定性验证和防止无限重试的 blocked 状态时使用。
