Loop Engineering: The Feedback Cycle That Turns AI Agents Into Reliable Workers
A great harness isn't enough. The real engine behind every reliable AI agent is the loop - observe, decide, act, verify. Here's how to engineer loops that actually ship work, the five patterns to choose from, the failure modes to avoid, and how it all connects back to harness engineering. Now updated with peer-reviewed research from PACT 2025 showing 3.54x performance gains from agentic loops in compiler optimization.
