Use /loop Mode for Autonomous Debugging and Testing cycles

Automate repetitive fix-and-test cycles using autonomous loop mode.

Activate the /loop command to allow the AI agent to work autonomously through debugging and testing cycles until your success criteria are met.

The Scenario

You have a set of failing unit tests and want the AI to iteratively fix the code and re-run the tests until everything passes without your manual intervention.

Before & after

The old way

Manually checking for errors, fixing them, and re-running tests in a cycle takes 15–20 minutes of repetitive manual effort.

With AI

Run the /loop command to let the agent autonomously handle the iterative process, completing the task in 2–4 minutes.

The Prompt

/loop until all unit tests in [DIRECTORY_PATH] pass and [SPECIFIC_REQUIREMENT] is met.

The /loop autonomous mode enables the agent to act independently, checking its own work and fixing issues until a predefined goal is met.
