1. Get a clean starter task
git clone https://github.com/chrismaddern/loopmaster.ai.git loopmaster-qs1
cd loopmaster-qs1
rm -rf /tmp/lm-qs1
cp -R examples/quick-starts/starter-task /tmp/lm-qs1
cd /tmp/lm-qs1
bash check.shQS1 · TASK LOOP · 10 MINUTES

Start with one red command, give the agent a three-pass budget, and come back only when the check is green, blocked, or exhausted.
Verified 2026-07-10 · read the logA tiny starter task changed from `status=todo` to `status=done`; the check went from red to green and the diff was recorded.
COPY-PASTE COMMANDS
Start from a clean clone or a report-only run-now firing.
2. Verify the stop yourself after the agent yields
cd /tmp/lm-qs1
bash check.sh
git diff --no-index -- starter-before/status.txt status.txt || trueAGENT PROMPT
Paste this after the first red check.
Make `bash check.sh` exit 0 without deleting or weakening `check.sh`. You have at most 3 passes. After each pass, run the check and stop with one of: done with evidence, blocked with one specific question, or exhausted with the last output.ARTIFACTS

The stop is evidence-based.
