What are loops, and how do you build one?

A "loop" is the repeated process where some event or input kicks off an action. For example: 1. CI fails -> you fix it 2. CI fails again -> you fix it 3. CI passes -> merge

That loop resolved in three iterations. Others may run much longer, but every loop begins the same way: with a trigger. Therefore, building effective loops starts with designing good triggers

In Fleet, we don't make you define loops directly. You create one (often without realizing it) whenever you connect a recurring trigger to an agent. A trigger can be an event, like a daily 9am alert, or an input, like an email

When a trigger fires, your agent gets the full input as context (the email, Slack thread, or whatever kicked it off). For scheduled triggers, you provide the context yourself: what the agent should do, and which skills it should use

Made a quick video to show these features off. You can start building loops in Fleet today http://fleet.langchain.com

Here鈥檚 your monthly reminder that you shouldn鈥檛 be prompting coding agents anymore.

You should be designing loops that prompt your agents.

loops are great because its just ai running in the background

"triggers" are the way we kick those off in fleet

@hwchase17 so ci failures are just ambient background music now?

@hwchase17 cron jobs walked so agent loops could run wild

@hwchase17 the loop is the easy part, triggers are where it gets real, knowing when to fire skills AND when not to is the whole game in my experience

@hwchase17 so triggers are just scheduled chaos with extra steps

still better than manually yelling at CI every morning

@hwchase17 triggers sound clean but actually naming them is always the painful part
