Ask anything

Permanent Q&A hub for Loop Engineering — patterns, tools, safety, npm CLIs, Foundry/outerloop stack.

No question is too basic. Prefer this thread over opening a silent issue when you’re blocked for <15 minutes.

Before you ask (30 seconds)

1. Quickstart (5 min)
2. Pattern picker
3. Run: npx @cobusgreyling/loop-audit . --suggest

Maintainer note: ask here first for setup, scoring, safety, or tool mapping.

Quick triage checklist I use when answering:

1. Did npx @cobusgreyling/loop-init . complete?
2. What does npx @cobusgreyling/loop-audit . --suggest print?
3. Which agent tool (Grok / Claude / Codex / Cursor / Opencode)?
