v1.6.0 — Foundry funnel + loop-gate

v1.6.0 — Foundry funnel + loop-gate

Three things that matter:

1. Design → runtime in one flag — loop-init --with-foundry scaffolds your loop and a versioned harness stack (.foundry/stack.yaml). loop-audit 1.7 scores Harness Runtime.
2. loop-gate is live — mechanical path denylist + auto-merge allowlist from gate.yaml (npx @cobusgreyling/loop-gate). Wired into starters and MCP.
3. Longer, safer runs — loop-context stagnation detection + loop-worktree --wait queue; community docs (Devin matrix, architecture diagrams).

Quickstart (copy-paste)

# Scaffold + score (optional Foundry harness)
npx @cobusgreyling/loop-init . --pattern daily-triage --tool grok
# or:
npx @cobusgreyling/loop-init . --pattern daily-triage --tool grok --with-foundry

# Readiness + next steps
npx @cobusgreyling/loop-audit . --suggest

# Gate check (if you use auto-merge / denylist)
npx @cobusgreyling/loop-gate check --action auto-merge --paths path/to/file

v1.5.0 — Community Tools Drop

v1.5.0 — Community Tools Drop

Seven community PRs merged. Three new tools ship. One command to try everything.

Quickstart (copy-paste)

# Scaffold your first loop (any git repo)
npx @cobusgreyling/loop-init . --pattern daily-triage --tool grok

# Check token cost before you schedule
npx @cobusgreyling/loop-cost --pattern daily-triage --level L1 --cadence 1d

# Score readiness + get next steps
npx @cobusgreyling/loop-audit . --suggest

# Detect drift between STATE.md and LOOP.md
npx @cobusgreyling/loop-sync .

What's new

New: loop-sync CLI (npm v1.0.0)

Detect configuration drift between STATE.md, LOOP.md, and skill versions. Run in CI or locally:

npx @cobusgreyling/loop-sync . -v

Contributed via #47 — thanks @community.

New: loop-constraints

Structured guardrails file + enforcement skill. loop-init now scaffolds loop-constraints.md and the loop-constraints skill on every run. loop-audit scores constraints presence (+6 readiness points when file + skill both exist).

Contributed via #71.

New: loop-mcp-server (repo v1)

MCP runtime lookup for patterns, skills, and state. Path traversal guards included.

node tools/mcp-server/dist/index.js

Contributed via #72. npm publish coming soon.

Updated npm packages

Package	Version	Highlights
@cobusgreyling/loop-audit	1.5.0	Constraints scoring + recommendations
@cobusgreyling/loop-init	1.2.3	Constraints scaffold; serialized asset bundling fix (#80)
@cobusgreyling/loop-sync	1.0.0	First npm release

Companion — Goal Engineering

Loops discover ongoing work. Goals finish bounded tasks.

Layer	Repo	Command
Discover (cadence)	loop-engineering	npx @cobusgreyling/loop-init . --pattern daily-triage --tool grok
Finish (run-until-done)	goal-engineering	npx @cobusgreyling/goal init . --pattern fix-bug --tool grok

Stack cookbook: loop → goal → fleet day rhythm

/goal Read STATE.md top priority. Done when verifier PASS. goal-verifier before completed: true.
