Do not trigger for\nan ordinary single-agent change, a review-only request, or a non-Codex host.</h2>\n<h1>CODER Loop</h1>\n<p>CODER stands for Codex Optimized Development, Evaluation, and Remediation. The\nloop uses bounded task-family review to give complex implementation clear\nownership, independent evaluation, and evidence-scoped repair.</p>\n<p>It is also the development engine of the Slopware Dev Stack: CVO can control\nit, MSW keeps it necessary, Timebox makes an authorized run converge, and MSL\nmakes the user-facing result clear. Every layer remains optional and\nindependently installable.</p>\n<p>Turn a complex implementation into a small set of coherent ownership lanes,\nthen make every candidate earn acceptance in a fresh context. Keep the parent\nas coordinator and final decision owner. Let workers implement, reviewers\nreview, and only admitted acceptance gaps create repair work.</p>\n<h2>Activate the CODER Loop</h2>\n<p>Read <a href=\"references/companions.md\">references/companions.md</a> once on activation.\nDiscover the active Slopware companion catalog, apply the available composition\nrules, and present the stack once without delaying work.</p>\n<p>When the user asks to learn CODER or see the Slopware Dev Stack, read\n<a href=\"references/workflows/tutorial.md\">references/workflows/tutorial.md</a> and teach\nbefore taking any live action. The teaching-only tutorial does not require\nrepository, project, task, or collaboration capabilities.</p>\n<p>For bare activation without an implementation outcome, explain in one sentence\nthat CODER uses bounded workers, fresh evaluation, and targeted remediation,\nthen offer the tutorial, a real outcome, or the stack overview. Do not ask the\nvague question \"what should we do?\"</p>\n<p>A live loop requires Codex collaboration capabilities that can provide at\nleast one implementation subagent and one fresh review subagent. If either\ncapability is unavailable, state what is missing and stop the live loop without\nclaiming completion. Continue answering questions and teaching the tutorial.</p>\n<h2>Bind the decision</h2>\n<p>Before delegating, establish:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>the requested outcome;</li>\n<li>the complete candidate boundary, including source, tests, generated files,\nconfiguration, and relevant untracked files;</li>\n<li>the retained behavior that must survive;</li>\n<li>the smallest acceptance claims that prove the outcome;</li>\n<li>the current repository state and user changes that must be preserved;</li>\n<li>explicit scope, top-level task creation or fork, external-write, commit, and\npublication authority.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Ask only when a missing owner decision can materially change those facts. Do\nnot turn setup into a form, ledger, acknowledgment, or approval ritual.</p>\n<h2>Decompose into task families</h2>\n<p>Define a task family as one coherent body of implementation with one owner,\none candidate boundary, and one proof surface. Group closely related work when\nsplitting it would create coordination without independent progress. Separate\nwork when ownership, dependencies, files, or proof can remain distinct.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Give each family exactly one implementation owner.</li>\n<li>Prevent overlapping file or behavior ownership. Sequence families whose\ncandidates can invalidate each other.</li>\n<li>Run families concurrently only when they are genuinely independent.</li>\n<li>Preserve related repairs with the original worker when practical.</li>\n<li>Use one family when the task does not justify more. The CODER Loop never\ninvents agent count or parallelism.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Use Codex collaboration</h2>\n<p>Read <a href=\"references/codex.md\">references/codex.md</a> before spawning. Keep the\ncurrent Codex task as the coordinator and use collaboration subagents as the\nstandard mechanism for implementation, repair, integration, and independent\nreview:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>use <code>fork_turns: \"all\"</code> when a role needs the coordinator history and its\ncurrent model and reasoning effort;</li>\n<li>use <code>fork_turns: \"99\"</code> with explicit <code>model</code> and <code>reasoning_effort</code> when a\nrole needs inherited working context and a different execution profile;</li>\n<li>use <code>fork_turns: \"none\"</code> for a fresh independent reviewer, selecting its\nmodel and reasoning effort explicitly when required.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Always send the complete bounded role contract. Inherited context does not\nreplace role, scope, candidate, evidence, or authority instructions.</p>\n<p>Use a top-level Codex task only after the user explicitly authorizes its\ncreation or fork and the role genuinely needs separate task lifecycle or\naddressability, project or worktree placement unavailable to the collaboration\nroute, or an exact source-task history that the bounded subagent route cannot\nsupply. The explicit fork and first-continuation procedure in the Codex\nreference is a fallback for those cases, not the normal model-routing\nmechanism. Without that authority, stay inside collaboration subagents or\nreport the exact lifecycle need that remains unmet.</p>\n<p>Choose the minimum capable model and reasoning effort from the settings exposed\nby the Codex route actually being used. Use a project or user model policy when\none exists. Otherwise prefer the inherited model and change it only when task\nevidence shows that another capability or cost profile is needed. Never\nhard-code a vendor lineup into the loop.</p>\n<p>Classify a task only when the host exposes a meaningful model choice:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Mechanical:</strong> an exact reproducer, bounded required change, no unresolved\ncontract, design, ownership, or proof choice, and deterministic evidence.</li>\n<li><strong>Reasoning-required:</strong> uncertainty remains in cause, semantics,\narchitecture, implementation direction, ownership, or proof design.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Assign the minimum capable worker. A small diff alone does not make a task\nmechanical. After review, classify a repair from the admitted gap rather than\nreusing the original task label by habit.</p>\n<h2>Run the implementation and review loop</h2>\n<p>For each task family:</p>\n<ol>\n<li>Send the bounded contract from\n<a href=\"references/role-contracts.md\">references/role-contracts.md</a> to its worker.</li>\n<li>Let the worker implement and verify the family. Collect the exact candidate,\ndiff, and belonging evidence, not merely a success summary.</li>\n<li>Freeze that candidate long enough to review it. Start a fresh reviewer that\ndid not implement it and has not received the implementer's reasoning or\nconclusions.</li>\n<li>Give the reviewer the decision, complete candidate boundary, retained\nbehavior, acceptance claims, raw artifacts, and verification evidence.</li>\n<li>Apply <a href=\"references/review-kernel.md\">references/review-kernel.md</a>. Admit only\nobservations whose deletion would leave an acceptance claim unmet or\nunsupported.</li>\n<li>Return each admitted blocking gap to the family owner for the smallest\nsufficient repair. Do not turn optional improvements into repair work. If\nthe repair needs inherited working context with different model or\nreasoning settings, use the same <code>fork_turns: \"99\"</code> collaboration route.</li>\n<li>Start another fresh review of the changed candidate. Reconsider only the\nacceptance claims the repair could affect.</li>\n<li>Repeat while an acceptance-blocking gap remains. Stop and withhold\nacceptance when a live gap cannot be closed inside the user's scope or\nauthority.</li>\n</ol>\n<p>Do not assign the reviewer to repair its own findings. A reviewer can explain\nevidence and contract impact, but the worker owns changes and the coordinator\nowns acceptance.</p>\n<h2>Preserve evidence across repairs</h2>\n<p>Treat review evidence as belonging to the candidate it observed. When the\ncandidate changes, invalidate only evidence for claims the change could affect.\nDo not rerun unrelated review, discard still-belonging proof, or assume that a\nchanged test suite proves retained product behavior.</p>\n<p>Use the contract to decide what remains live:</p>\n<ul>\n<li>A newly added file makes any earlier review that omitted it incomplete.</li>\n<li>A narrow source repair does not erase unrelated proof.</li>\n<li>A changed test can settle only the behavior it actually observes.</li>\n<li>A removed behavior does not remain an acceptance claim unless the approved\ncontract retains it.</li>\n</ul>\n<h2>Integrate and accept</h2>\n<p>Keep worker and reviewer reports as evidence, never as acceptance. Have the\ncoordinator inspect the integrated candidate and identify any cross-family\nconflict. Route every required source, test, or configuration change to a\nbounded integration owner and review that candidate through the same loop.\nThen confirm the required proof and decide:</p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>accept</strong> when every live acceptance claim has belonging evidence; or</li>\n<li><strong>withhold</strong> when at least one live claim remains unsettled.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>Do not add an arbitrary review-round limit. Stop at the acceptance fixed point,\nan explicit user stop, or a genuine blocker. Report the accepted result and\nproof, or the exact open claim and authority needed to continue.</p>\n<p>When an authorized Timebox wraps the loop, its hard stop ends work but never\nchanges the acceptance test. Withhold acceptance for every unsettled claim and\nreport the strongest proven candidate.</p>\n<h2>Review the completed loop</h2>\n<p>After acceptance or a genuine terminal block, read\n<a href=\"references/postmortem.md\">references/postmortem.md</a>. Treat the postmortem as\nrouting calibration, not another candidate review or acceptance gate.</p>\n<p>Assess whether each task family's classification and model assignment proved\nsufficient, whether review or remediation changed that judgment, and whether\nscope, evidence, authority, or an authoritative time constraint explains the\nresult better than model capability. Use the completed loop evidence and any\ncomparable records already authorized by the project.</p>\n<p>Recommend at most one controlled mapping change, and only when repeated\ncomparable records show complete evidence, stable scope, and no\nreasoning-required remediation. One successful assignment never lowers a\nfuture default. Any recommendation applies only to the next comparable task\nand preserves the same independent-review standard.</p>\n<p>Do not create a mandatory <code>CODER_LEDGER.md</code> or other record merely to prove the\nloop ran. If no comparable history exists, treat the completed loop as one\nobservation and make no mapping change.</p>\n<h2>Preserve authority</h2>\n<p>Delegation never expands authority. Keep pushes, branch publication, pull or\nmerge requests, comments, approvals, merges, deployments, destructive actions,\nand other external writes prohibited unless the user explicitly authorizes the\nspecific action. Preserve implementation, staging, commit, and publication as\nseparate boundaries.</p>\n<p>Archive every temporary top-level fallback task that the CODER Loop created or\nforked after its role is terminal and the coordinator has captured its result\nand evidence. Never archive the coordinator, a pre-existing user task, a task\nstill handling repair, or a task waiting for user input.</p>\n<p>Do not create a mandatory ledger, timer, hook, advisor pass, model roster, or\nstatus ceremony. Apply another skill or project policy alongside the CODER\nLoop only when the user or an authoritative project rule invokes it. A required\nadvisor can challenge the coordinator's judgment, but never replaces\nindependent review or the coordinator's final acceptance decision.</p>\n<h2>Compose the Slopware Dev Stack</h2>\n<p>Use <a href=\"references/companions.md\">references/companions.md</a> as the single contract\nfor discovery, activation state, boundary ownership, installation, and stack\npresentation.</p>\n<ul>\n<li>Apply MSW to work admission when it is available.</li>\n<li>Activate Timebox only from explicit requester authority or applicable project\npolicy. Keep one fixed clock owned by the CODER coordinator.</li>\n<li>Apply MSL once at the final user-facing boundary after raw evidence settles\nacceptance.</li>\n<li>Under CVO, keep the CODER Loop inside an owning work task. CVO routes committed\nintent and speaks material state; it never becomes the CODER coordinator,\nworker, reviewer, or clock owner.</li>\n</ul>\n<p>When the user asks what the system supports, present the CODER development\nengine and optional stack layers as one coherent product family: install one\nlayer or compose the stack. Every skill works alone, and all are free forever.</p>\n","files":[{"path":"agents/openai.yaml","sizeBytes":310,"isText":true},{"path":"references/codex.md","sizeBytes":5269,"isText":true},{"path":"references/companions.md","sizeBytes":8109,"isText":true},{"path":"references/postmortem.md","sizeBytes":2698,"isText":true},{"path":"references/review-kernel.md","sizeBytes":2637,"isText":true},{"path":"references/role-contracts.md","sizeBytes":3603,"isText":true},{"path":"references/workflows/tutorial.md","sizeBytes":5588,"isText":true},{"path":"SKILL.md","sizeBytes":12728,"isText":true}],"reviewScore":null,"reviewSummary":null,"trust":{"provenance":"trusted-source-unreviewed","notice":"Community-authored content, reproduced verbatim and not vetted as instructions.
