Loops: refine until it's good

A loop is Mastery HQ’s quality machine: it takes a goal, has an agent produce a draft, scores the draft with a judge, feeds the critique back, and repeats — until the work clears your score bar or the pass limit hits. You state the destination; the loop does the iterating.

Start one in one line

In the command bar (typed or spoken):

loop: write punchy hero copy until score 9

The top-most agent picks it up; the loop announces its terms (“refining until 9/10, max 5 passes”). Or start from work that already exists: every agent window has a Loop this button that turns the last exchange into a loop.

The dials

Dial	Default	In the one-liner
Score bar	8 / 10	“…until score 9”
Max passes	5 (cap 12)	“…until 6 rounds”
Lens	standard	add “karpathy” or “roast” for a different judging personality

Watching and managing loops

The Loops Dock shows every live loop with its pass count and latest score; the Loop pane (say open loop) is the full console. Stop anytime from either.

When to use a loop vs. a single task

Single task: mechanical work with an objective done-state (“rename this function everywhere”). Loop: anything with a quality gradient — copy, design language, refactoring style, test coverage narratives — where the third pass is reliably better than the first and you’d rather not be the one asking for it three times.
