Budget Negotiator enables an L3 autonomous loop to request a token budget increase when near its cap and high-priority work remains. It calculates ROI from run logs and escalates a tagged request for human approval.

CI Triage classifies failing CI checks into clear regressions, infra flakes, security-test failures, and non-deterministic failures, then updates ci-sweeper-state.md with suggested next actions and attempt counts. Use it when you need to decide whether to auto-fix, retry, or escalate each CI failure.

CI Triage parses CI failures, identifies the failing job and step, and classifies each failure as flake, regression, env, or config to guide next actions. Use it before attempting any fix to decide whether to minimal-fix, watch, or escalate.

Changelog Scan scans merged PRs and commits since a given reference, extracting titles, labels, types, and signals. It produces structured input for release notes drafting.

Changelog Scan reviews recent merges, PRs, and commits to extract release note content, returning structured per-item blocks and a scan summary. It surfaces breaking and security changes explicitly and ignores dependency and bot noise unless security-related.

Changelog Scan analyzes recent merges and commits since the last release to extract user-facing changes, breaking changes, and security signals. Use it to generate structured changelog entries for release notes.

Changelog Scan scans recent merges to main and noteworthy direct commits since a given window, extracting titles, labels, types, linked issues, and signals for breaking changes or security. It produces structured input for a release notes drafter, used in changelog-drafter loops.

Dependency Triage scans package manifests and lockfiles for outdated and vulnerable dependencies, classifies them by severity and update type, and updates a prioritized state file. Use it to decide which dependency updates to auto-fix, patch, or escalate.

Dependency Triage scans package manifests and lockfiles for outdated packages and known CVEs, grouping updates by risk (patch, minor, major). Use it in dependency sweeper loops to decide which updates are safe to apply automatically and which need human escalation.

Draft Release Notes turns changelog-scan output into a polished, categorized release notes draft and flags breaking and security changes at the top. Use it when you need a human-reviewable draft after scanning changes.

Draft Release Notes generates categorized release notes drafts from scan data, using a standard Features/Fixes/Breaking/Security template, and includes a review disclaimer for human approval before publishing.

Draft Release Notes turns a structured list of changes from changelog-scan into a clean, categorized, user-facing release notes draft. Use it after a changelog scan to prepare a release notes file for human review without publishing.

Install Loop Engineering scaffolds a report-only loop in a project using the unified CLI npx @cobusgreyling/loop. Use it to set up daily triage, PR babysitter, CI sweeper, or dependency sweeper loops, with doctor and cost checks before high-cadence runs.

Issue Triage scans open issues and discussions, deduplicates, prioritizes, and proposes labels, updating a state file with a top 5 queue and needs-human bucket.

Loop Budget Guard checks token budget and run-log spend before and after each loop iteration and enforces early exit when over budget or when there is no actionable work.

Loop Constraints reads loop-constraints.md at the start of every run and enforces all rules before triage or actions. Use it to apply binding guardrails such as denylist paths, push/merge checks, and test requirements.

Loop Triage reviews recent CI failures, commits, issues, and conversations, then produces a concise, prioritized findings report for an AI loop to act on. Use it to separate high-priority work from noise and persist state between runs.

Loop Triage reviews recent CI failures, commits, issues, and conversations, then produces a concise, prioritized findings report for an agent loop to act on. Use it to keep a coding agent's state file up to date with high-priority items, watch items, and noise.

Loop Verifier provides independent verification of loop-produced changes by running tests and checking diff scope. Use it after an implementer sub-agent to reject changes unless evidence is strong.

Loop Verifier reviews release note drafts against the changelog scan data to flag hallucinations, missing breaking or security items, and tone problems. Use it after draft-release-notes to independently check accuracy before human review.

Minimal Fix produces the smallest possible code change that fixes a specific, well-scoped issue such as a CI failure, reviewer comment, or typo. Use it when the fix target is explicit and avoid refactoring unrelated code.

PR Review Triage tracks open pull requests, CI status, review staleness, merge conflicts, and unanswered review comments to produce a prioritized watchlist. Use it to surface blockers and decide the next action for each PR.

Post-Merge Scan reviews recent merges to main for tech debt, TODOs, debug code, and small cleanup opportunities, then produces a prioritized fix list. Use it after merges to keep the codebase clean without manual inspection.
