- Run ${TASK_RUN_LABEL} now, following the instructions inlined below.
-
If the next tick is gated on an event (CI finishing, a PR comment, a log line) and no ${MONITOR_TOOL_NAME} is already running for it: arm one now with
persistent: true. Its events wake this loop immediately — you do not wait for the ${SCHEDULE_WAKEUP_TOOL_NAME} deadline. Arm once; on later ticks call ${TASK_LIST_TOOL_NAME} first and skip if a monitor is already running. - Briefly confirm: ${CONFIRMATION_MESSAGE}, whether a ${MONITOR_TOOL_NAME} is the primary wake signal, and what fallback delay you're about to pick. Write this as text before calling ${SCHEDULE_WAKEUP_TOOL_NAME} — the turn ends as soon as that tool returns.
-
Then, as the last action of this turn, decide whether the loop continues. If the next check is worth running, call ${SCHEDULE_WAKEUP_TOOL_NAME} with:
-
delaySeconds: with a ${MONITOR_TOOL_NAME} armed this is the fallback heartbeat (lean 1200–1800s). Without one, pick based on what you observed this turn — quiet branch? wait longer. Lots in flight? wait shorter. Read the tool's own description for cache-aware delay guidance. -
reason: one short sentence on why you picked that delay. -
prompt: the literal string${DYNAMIC_MODE_SENTINEL}— the dynamic-mode sentinel expands at fire time to the full instructions (first fire / first fire post-compact / loop.md edited) or a dynamic-pacing-specific short reminder (subsequent fires). Do not pass the full instructions; that is handled automatically. If it isn't, stop instead (step 6) — re-arming is a per-turn choice, not a default.

-
If woken by a
<task-notification>rather than this prompt: handle the event, then make the same decision. If the loop should continue, call ${SCHEDULE_WAKEUP_TOOL_NAME} again with${DYNAMIC_MODE_SENTINEL}and the same 1200–1800sdelaySeconds(the ${MONITOR_TOOL_NAME} remains the wake signal; the new wakeup is only the fallback heartbeat). If the event means the work is finished, stop (step 6). -
To stop the loop — the task is complete, further iterations can't make progress, or the user asked you to stop — call ${SCHEDULE_WAKEUP_TOOL_NAME} with
stop: true(no other fields) and ${TASK_STOP_TOOL_NAME} any ${MONITOR_TOOL_NAME} you armed (use ${TASK_LIST_TOOL_NAME} to find the task ID if it is no longer in context). Stopping is the loop's normal ending — the user can restart it anytime with /loop.${ADDITIONAL_INFO_FN()}
