The Agentic Loop: Three loops in a trench coat (bobbytables.io)

Aren't the loops the wrong way round in the diagram. The tightest loop is the inference loop, then the tool loop and then human loop?

there are more than 3: https://www.latent.space/p/loopcraft

You can always find more loops if you want to write the next version of this post. Anything that runs software is a loop of instruction execution.

Anyone have suggestions on implementing loops with a basic $20/mo subscription to claude or gemini? Any blog posts recommended?

I like how you found the pattern of 3 loops. I am working on a similar blog where I had human loop outside the inference loop :) human -> llm-> tool

lack of syntax highlighting makes the article harder to read

those are rookie numbers, my agent harness goes way more than 3 loops deep, and the depth dynamically ebbs and flows throughout the development process. like most brags, i'm being defensive over a personal tool that i know has ballooned way too big, but building a token-fueled katamari ball that rolls itself uphill has been a fun way to imagine Sisyphus happy.

a harness is a chain connecting two other chains, the LLM and the human are themselves made up of loops within loops within loops.
