Loop/Prompt Library / Running AI agents well
🔁 Fair-test experiments
Improves a prompt or piece of code through saved, fairly compared experiments that can pick up again later.
Use it when: You want to improve something over many sessions and keep the comparisons fair.
🛑 Stops when: A clear winner within one fixed scoring setup, or no progress, or the budget is spent.
Copy this loop
Improve [prompt, code, or setting] toward [goal] within [budget]. Freeze the tests and scoring rules, save the current version as a checkpoint, and record a starting score. Each round, test one idea and keep it only if it clearly wins without breaking anything. If you change the scoring, start a new revision and re-score the baseline. Run at most [10] rounds. Ask before changing live files. Return the best checkpoint, scores, and how to roll back.
Review every change the agent makes before you keep it. Set a budget or round limit — the prompt includes one.

More loops like this
Agent workspace health check
Reads a project's notes and state, without changing anything, and grades whether a new agent could safely pick up the work.
Stop and check before continuing
After an agent finishes a task, it reports what is done and whether the next step is safe, then waits for you.
Clean handoff note
Before a session ends, writes a note so the next person or agent can continue without guessing.
Predict, act, check
Before every meaningful action, the agent writes what it expects to happen, then checks if that is what really happened.
Lessons that stick
Keeps a playbook of lessons from repeated runs, tests one lesson at a time, and only keeps lessons that keep working.
Champion vs challenger
Keeps the current best prompt as champion, and a new version only replaces it if it wins on fresh test cases it never saw.
