Loop Engineering
Loop engineering is the practice of designing the repeatable control system around an AI coding agent — goal, context, tools, observation, verification, retry policy, and stop rules — instead of optimizing a single prompt.

AI Coding Agent
An AI coding agent is an autonomous or semi-autonomous system that reads a codebase, plans changes, edits files, runs tests, and iterates toward a goal with minimal per-step human prompting.
