What Navigator Loop does

Navigator Loop runs tasks iteratively until completion using structured status blocks, stagnation detection, and exit signals. Use it when a user asks to keep going until the work is done or to run in autonomous loop mode.

Navigator Loop is cataloged under Automation on DirSkills. Navigator Loop comes from a repository tagged ai-assistant, ai-tools, anthropic, claude and claude-code.

Excerpt

Navigator Loop Skill

Execute tasks iteratively until completion with structured signals, stagnation detection, and dual-condition exit gates.

Why This Exists

Traditional AI coding requires manual "keep going" prompts. Navigator Loop provides:

Structured completion signals (NAVIGATOR_STATUS block)
Dual-condition exit gate (heuristics + explicit signal)
Stagnation detection (circuit breaker for stuck loops)
Progress visibility (phases: INIT → RESEARCH → IMPL → VERIFY → COMPLETE)

Based on Ralph's autonomous loop innovations, adapted for Navigator's context-efficient architecture.
