loop-me
SkillDev toolsThe loop-me skill runs a question and answer session where your agent interviews you about the routines you repeat, one round of questions at a time, and suggests an answer for each question. It uses that conversation to find loops worth automating and writes workflow specs into workflows/*.md until they are complete enough to build without further questions.

Details
Instructions available. Your AI can read the instructions. Execution depends on the setup they require.
Account requirements not reviewed. Check the skill instructions before use; ahel provides instructions and does not run this skill.
No other account needed.
Have a workspace with a workflows directory and a NOTES.md file for notes about your world.
What your AI can do with it
- Interview you about recurring routines one round of questions at a time
- Suggest a recommended answer for each question it asks
- Identify loops worth automating, including ones you have not noticed
- Write and refine workflow specs in workflows/*.md
- Record your tools, channels, and terminology in NOTES.md
- Keep grilling until an implementer agent could build the workflow without asking anything
Getting started
- Have a workspace with a workflows directory and a NOTES.md file for notes about your world.
- Add the loop-me skill to your agent so it can run the grilling session.
- Start the session with a workflow you want to design, or with nothing so the agent goes and finds one.
- Answer each round of questions, using or adjusting the suggested answer, until the spec is done.
What this skill tells your AI
The instructions your AI receives, as published by mattpocock/skills in skills/in-progress/loop-me/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.
Run a stateful /grilling session whose only output is workflow specs. Use the grilling discipline (relentless, a round of questions at a time, a recommended answer attached to each) aimed at the vocabulary and goal below. Create, edit, and delete specs as the grilling resolves things.
The loop lens
A loop is a recurring pattern in the user's life: their career, their week, their morning, a single repeated activity. Picturing a life as loops within loops reveals how predictable its activities really are, which is what makes them worth delegating. Use the lens to find loops worth specifying, and propose ones the user hasn't noticed.
A workflow is the spec of one loop, made real. You run a workflow on a loop: the loop is its running instantiation. Workflows live in workflows/*.md and are the source of truth.
Vocabulary
A shared language, reached for only when a workflow calls for it: never a checklist. Mandate nothing structural: a workflow needs no AI, no checkpoint, and no schedule unless the grilling shows it does.
- Trigger: what fires each run, an event (a new email, a new issue) or a schedule (every morning). Event-triggering is usually the more efficient.
- Checkpoint: a human-in-the-loop point where the user is asked to verify or decide. Some workflows have none and run autonomously; some use no AI at all.
- Push right: defer the checkpoint as far as it will go. Do maximal work before involving the human, so they are asked once, late, with everything prepared.
- Brief: what a checkpoint presents, a tight, decision-ready summary (what was produced, why, and a link down to the asset itself), never the raw output. The user reads a brief, not a draft. Speed of review is imperative.
Definition of done
A workflow spec is done when an implementer agent could build it without asking a single question. Grill until then; nothing is done while a question remains.
The workspace
workflows/*.md: one spec per workflow.NOTES.md: raw notes on the user's world, the tools they use, the channels they process, and their own terminology for both. When it is empty or thin, interview them about their world before specifying anything. Sharpen fuzzy terms into canonical ones as they surface, and record them here.

Questions
- How do I install the Grill Me Skill?
- The skill is added to your agent as a skill, and it runs a grilling session in your workspace. Setup means having a workflows directory and a NOTES.md file, then starting the session with a workflow to design or nothing to find one.
- What is Loops AI?
- This skill does not cover that. It works on loops as recurring patterns in your life, such as your week or a repeated activity, and turns the ones worth delegating into workflow specs.
