What Coco Loop does

Coco Loop turns a plain-language goal into a governed, propose-only autonomous loop. Use it when you want a bounded session that proposes fixes, runs under a constitution, and never commits on its own.

Coco Loop is cataloged under AI Engineering on DirSkills. Coco Loop comes from a repository tagged agent-skills, agents-md, ai, ai-agents and claude-code.

Documentation

README

Excerpt

coco-loop

Turn a plain-language goal into a governed, propose-only loop. You compile the goal into a charter, the person confirms it, and the loop runs under the coco-loops framework: it proposes changes, a separate verifier judges them, and nothing is committed. The loop stops itself when its lifetime cap of active work is spent.

The framework enforces an immutable constitution underneath every charter. You cannot write a charter that disables the verifier, commits without approval, edits the constitution, sends content to raw public-cloud endpoints, or runs unattended destructive operations. The coco-loops charter command rejects any charter that tries. Do not attempt to work around it. Present the floor to the person as a feature.
