Our agent loops have been shipping production features for weeks. Here's the tool.

Everyone's saying the same thing right now: stop prompting your coding agent, start designing the loop that prompts it for you, and let it do the work. We agree. We've just been doing it long enough that it isn't a prediction anymore — autonomous loops have been running our R&D on four production repos for weeks. Here's a concrete one. On NyxID, our open-source gateway, a loop took a load-balancing feature from a GitHub issue to a merged PR last week: about 1,400 lines of Rust, and the merge metadata records human_touch_count = 0, meaning no human edited the diff. A person still scoped the issue and clicked merge — but the code came out of the loop and survived review without anyone rewriting it. (PR #975) That's the part everyone's excited about, and it's real. It's also not the hard part, and not the reason we trust the thing enough to leave it running. The hard part is trust, not autonomy The failure mode of an autonomous loop isn't that it does nothing. It's t
