# Navigator Loop Skill Execute tasks iteratively until completion with structured signals, stagnation detection, and dual-condition exit gates. ## Why This Exists Traditional AI coding requires manual "keep going" prompts. Navigator Loop provides: - **Structured completion signals** (NAVIGATOR_STATUS block) - **Dual-condition exit gate** (heuristics + explicit signal) - **Stagnation detection** (circuit breaker for stuck loops) - **Progress visibility** (phases: INIT → RESEARCH → IMPL → VERIFY → COMPLETE) Based on Ralph's autonomous loop innovations, adapted for Navigator's context-efficient architecture. ## When to Invoke **Auto-invoke when**: - User says "run until done", "keep going until complete" - User says "iterate until finished", "autonomous mode" - User says "loop mode", "don't stop until done" - Task document has `loop_mode: true` **DO NOT invoke if**: - Single-step task (no iteration needed) - User says "just do this once" - Already in loop mode (prevent nested loops) - User explicitly disabled loop mode ## Configuration Loop mode settings in `.agent/.nav-config.json`: ```json { "loop_mode": { "enabled": false, "max_iterations": 5, "stagnation_threshold": 3, "exit_requires_explicit_signal": true, "show_status_block": true, "iteration_approval": "none", "periodic_interval": 3, "never_pause_on_stagnation": false, "stagnation_diversify_strategy": "combine" } } ``` **Core options**: - `enabled`: Default state for new ...
