Pull request overview
Adds a new curated topic page for loop-engineering, providing frontmatter metadata (aliases/related/short description) and a concise definition for the topic page on GitHub.
Changes:
- Introduces
topics/loop-engineering/index.mdwith required topic frontmatter. - Adds a single-paragraph definition explaining “loop engineering” and how it relates to adjacent concepts.
💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

| Loop Engineering is the practice of designing recurring AI-agent and coding-agent systems. Instead of prompting an agent turn by turn, you build a loop that discovers work, delegates it to one or more agents, verifies the result against tests or other deterministic gates, persists state outside the model, decides what happens next, and runs again on a cadence, an event, or until a verifiable goal is reached. It sits above prompt, context, and harness engineering: those improve a single run, while loop engineering governs repeated agent work over time, including budgets, retries, escalation to humans, and stopping conditions. |

What this does
Adds a curated topic page for loop-engineering.
Why it is valuable
Loop Engineering is an emerging AI/coding-agent practice: designing recurring systems that discover work, delegate to agents, verify results, persist state, and re-run over time (above prompt, context, and harness engineering). The
loop-engineeringtopic is already applied to ~90 public repositories, but there is no curated description yet, so the topic page currently shows no explanation of the term.This page gives a concise, neutral definition and links related topics (ai-agents, llm, agentic-ai, automation, prompt-engineering).
