// how it works

How it works

  1. Clarify the long-horizon goal

    Define the multi-session outcome you want an agent to keep advancing, plus the boundaries it must not cross.

  2. Install LoopX

    Install the Python package and its workflow skills.

  3. Connect your project

    Run LoopX in your agent host session; it connects the project, plans the work as Todos and sets up the heartbeat.

  4. Let it run and check status

    Start with /loopx or $loopx in your host, then use loopx status to see the goal, pending decisions and the next Todo.

Why people love it

Durable state kernel

Goals and progress persist across sessions, so long-horizon work survives restarts and context resets.

Heartbeat continuation

A heartbeat keeps connected work moving and improving over time with bounded continuation, instead of stopping after one turn.

Works inside your agent host

Start from Claude Code (/loopx), Codex ($loopx) or the DeepSeek Harness plugin; LoopX reuses your existing project state.

Todos and status visibility

Work is planned as Todos; loopx status shows the goal, any decision waiting for you and the next step, and loopx doctor diagnoses installs.

Governed turns and budgets

LoopX can generate bounded turn decisions from validated receipts, quota state and a provider-neutral budget.

Recurring work presets

Safe presets cover recurring jobs such as daily triage, changelog drafts and PR watching, with readiness scoring for repeated runs.

// run it

Run it yourself

  1. Clone the repository

    Clone LoopX if you want the source; most users install the package in the next step.

    git clone https://github.com/loopx-project/loopx.git
    cd loopx
  2. Install LoopX and its skills

    Install the package from PyPI and install the workflow skills.

    python3 -m pip install --upgrade loopx && loopx workflow-skills --install
  3. Start it in your agent host

    Restart your agent host, open a session on your project, and hand LoopX a complex task.

    # In Claude Code: /loopx <complex task>
    # In Codex: $loopx <complex task>
    loopx status

Questions, answered

Who maintains LoopX?

LoopX is maintained by the loopx-project organization, with documentation on its project site.

Is LoopX free?

Yes — it is open source under the Apache-2.0 license. You still pay for whatever agent host and models you run it with.

Does it need a paid API key?

LoopX itself is a control plane, not a model; it works through your existing agent host (Claude Code, Codex, DeepSeek Harness), which supplies the model access.

How does it compare to just using Claude Code or Codex alone?

The hosts execute turns; LoopX adds the durable goal state, heartbeat continuation, todos and governance that keep long-horizon work coherent across sessions.

How do I get started?

pip install loopx, install the workflow skills, restart your agent host, and run /loopx with a complex task in your project session.
