Loopgen Rs — Development skill for Claude Code

loopgen

[](LICENSE) [](https://www.rust-lang.org/)

**Agentic loop runner for Claude Code.** `loopgen` turns a one-line goal into an iterative loop that drives headless Claude Code (`claude -p`) until a termination contract trips. It is the "all I do is write loops for Claude" pattern, packaged as a small, dependable CLI: a hard iteration cap, an optional verify gate, and a `BLOCKED` escape hatch so a run never spins forever or terminates silently.

loopgen "get the test suite green" --verify "cargo test" --max 6

Demo


*Recorded from the actual binary with [asciinema](https://asciinema.org) + [agg](https://github.com/asciinema/agg).*

Install

cargo install --path .

This builds the optimized binary and installs `loopgen` into your Cargo bin directory (`~/.cargo/bin` by default). You need the [`claude`](https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code) CLI available on your `PATH` (or pass `--claude-bin `) for real runs.

Or install from [crates.io](https://crates.io/crates/loopgen):

cargo install loopgen

TOML configuration

Save a loop definition as a file for reuse:

# loop.toml
goal = "get the test suite green"
max = 12
verify = "cargo test"

Then run with `loopgen --config loop.toml`. CLI flags override file values when both are set.

Bash export

Export any loop as a standalone, portable bash script:

loopgen "fix the parser" --verify "cargo test" --export-bash > fix-loop.sh
chmod +x fix-loop.sh
./fix-loop.sh

The exported script uses only `claude`, `grep`, and `python3` — no Rust required at runtime.

Usage

loopgen [OPTIONS] 
loopgen --wizard
loopgen --config loop.toml
