@trevonistrevon/pi-loop

Install

pi install npm:@trevonistrevon/pi-loop

Quick start

Create scheduled, event-driven, or self-paced loops:

/loop 5m check the deploy
/loop event tasks:created process the backlog
/loop finish the release

Or use the tools directly:

LoopCreate trigger="5m" prompt="Check if the build passed" maxFires=12
LoopCreate trigger="tool_execution_start" prompt="Log the tool" triggerType="event" recurring=true
LoopCreate trigger="tasks:created" prompt="Process unfinished tasks" triggerType="event" recurring=true taskBacklog=true maxFires=25
LoopList
LoopDelete id="1"

/loop event tasks:created ... is treated as an explicit task-backlog worker: it adopts existing unfinished tasks, coalesces task-creation bursts, and re-wakes after each agent turn until the backlog drains. Tool callers opt into the same behavior with taskBacklog=true.

Run work in the background and wake the agent when it succeeds, fails, or times out:

MonitorCreate command="python train.py" onDone="Analyze results and report best loss"
MonitorList
MonitorStop monitorId="1"

What it provides

• Cron, event, hybrid, dynamic goal, and opt-in workflow loops
• Idle-safe agent re-wakes with dynamic-loop restart/session-switch recovery
• Background command monitoring with buffered output and onDone wakes
• Optional pi-tasks integration and a native task fallback
• Session-isolated persistence and a compact TUI status line

Commands and tools

Surface	Purpose
/loop	Create or manage scheduled, event, and dynamic goal loops
/tasks	Manage native fallback tasks when pi-tasks is absent
LoopCreate, LoopList, LoopUpdate, LoopDelete	Create and control ordinary loops
WorkflowCreate, WorkflowTransition	Create and advance opt-in task-driven workflows; inspect them with LoopList
MonitorCreate, MonitorList, MonitorStop	Run and inspect background commands
TaskCreate, TaskList, TaskClaim, TaskHeartbeat, TaskUpdate, TaskDelete	Native fallback task management

See the usage guide for trigger types, dynamic loop lifecycle, monitor behavior, task integration, configuration, events, and the public RPC API. The mutation contract defines accepted, idempotent, and rejected task/loop/workflow writes.
