# 🕹️ Autonomous Agent Patterns > Design patterns for building autonomous coding agents, inspired by [Cline](https://github.com/cline/cline) and [OpenAI Codex](https://github.com/openai/codex). ## When to Use This Skill Use this skill when: - Building autonomous AI agents - Designing tool/function calling APIs - Implementing permission and approval systems - Creating browser automation for agents - Designing human-in-the-loop workflows --- ## 1. Core Agent Architecture ### 1.1 Agent Loop ``` ┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ AGENT LOOP │ │ │ │ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ ┌──────────┐ │ │ │ Think │───▶│ Decide │───▶│ Act │ │ │ │ (Reason) │ │ (Plan) │ │ (Execute)│ │ │ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ └──────────┘ │ │ ▲ │ │ │ │ ┌──────────┐ │ │ │ └─────────│ Observe │◀─────────┘ │ │ │ (Result) │ │ │ └──────────┘ │ └─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ ``` ```python class AgentLoop: def __init__(self, llm, tools, max_iterations=50): self.llm = llm self.tools = {t.name: t for t in tools} ...
