The community PRs from this thread are now packaged, published, and tagged:

Release: https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/releases/tag/v1.5.0

npm (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 .

Package	Version	What changed
@cobusgreyling/loop-audit	1.5.0	Constraints scoring (+6 readiness points when file + skill exist)
@cobusgreyling/loop-init	1.2.3	Scaffolds loop-constraints.md + skill; bundling race fix (#80)
@cobusgreyling/loop-sync	1.0.0	First npm release — drift detection (#47)

loop-mcp-server ships in-repo (v1) with path guards (#72); npm publish is next.

Copy for X / LinkedIn / Substack:

Two primitives for AI coding agents:

• Loop = recurring discovery (/loop, schedule)
• Goal = run until verifiably done (/goal)

Loop Engineering v1.5.0: https://github.com/cobusgreyling/loop-engineering/releases/tag/v1.5.0
Goal Engineering v1.1.0: https://github.com/cobusgreyling/goal-engineering/releases/tag/v1.1.0

Morning triage → pick top item → /goal until verifier passes.
