Two loops and a human
Six weeks of running coding agents on real projects, and what the design looks like now Status, stated up front. The slow loop in this piece has run unattended since mid-September: daily digest, weekly sweep, monthly dreaming, each ending in a pull request a human approves. The fast loop has run too, on one project, for about ten days in September, and taught most of what follows. It is not…
The article discusses a system that uses two loops with a human gate in between for managing coding agents on multiple projects. The slow loop runs unattended in a hub repository, handling decisions, rules, and memory for each project. It generates daily digests, weekly sweeps, and monthly dreamings, each ending in a pull request that a human approves.
The fast loop, on the other hand, runs inside each project, consisting of define, plan, build, review, and ship phases, also ending in a pull request. The human oversees the gate, ensuring that only approved changes are implemented. The system aims to minimize human intervention while ensuring that the agents operate within defined boundaries and make informed decisions based on the provided memory and rules.
