Loop Close
Closes a slice or a session - adversarial audit of the diff, ledger entry, selective commit, honest report, and the handoff for the next session. Use before considering anything finished.
Loop Plan
The planning session. Turns a goal into an ordered list of thin complete slices, decides which role and model runs each following session, and writes it all to the plan file. Use at the start of an epic, before any code.
Loop
The build loop - locate yourself, investigate the real code, build one slice completely, verify it for real, fix and re-verify, then close and hand off. Use for any session that is implementing something from the plan.
Loop Council
Sends an open design question to several independent voices in parallel and returns a decision with its evidence. Use before building anything that touches money, permissions, auth, or schema, or whenever the honest answer is "I am not sure".
Loop Doctor
Checks that the loop is actually installed and working in this project - files present, role profiles valid, connections alive, effort level real. Use after setup, after an upgrade, or when something behaves as if the method is not loaded.
Loop Verify
Runs this project's verification contract and decides honestly whether something is verified, a gap, or a lie. Use before calling anything done, and whenever a report says "should work".
Loop Setup
Session 0. Sets up the loop in this project - detects the stack, checks which connections actually work (git, database, browser, payments sandbox), asks the few decisions only the owner can make, and writes the .loop/ files. Run this once per project, before any planning or building.
