Summary
A blog post arguing that working with coding agents is shifting from directly prompting them turn by turn to designing “loops” — small automated systems built from five recurring pieces (scheduled automations, isolated worktrees, project-knowledge skills, MCP-based connectors, and a maker/checker split between sub-agents) plus durable external memory — that prompt and check the agent on your behalf, building on public remarks by Peter Steinberger and Boris Cherny and comparing how OpenAI’s Codex app and Anthropic’s Claude Code each implement the same five primitives.
