# CEO Decision Loop — ORBIT Protocol ## Overview The CEO-LOOP ORBIT model turns the CEO agent from a single-pass decision oracle into a **continuous governance engine**. Each invocation of this skill is one ORBIT iteration. The Stop hook (`ceo-loop-stop.sh`) re-invokes this skill after each iteration until the queue is empty or limits are reached. **Five contributions ORBIT adds to CEO-LOOP:** 1. **Actual loop mechanism** — Stop hook + state file, not pseudocode 2. **Cross-context continuity** — progress file bridges compaction 3. **Iteration tracking + retrograde** — was the last decision correct? 4. **Adaptive depth** — ESLint fix in 30s, architecture in 15 min with Agent Teams 5. **Trust calibration** — accuracy tracked, demotion alert surfaces to human --- ## State Files (all in `$PROJECT_ROOT/.claude/`) These are written and read by the loop. **Never modify manually during an active loop.** ### `ceo-loop-state.json` — Hook state ```json { "active": true, "iteration": 7, "max_iterations": 20, "time_limit_minutes": 30, "started_at": "2026-03-08T10:00:00Z", "trust_level": "standard", "depth_escalation_counter": 0, "correct_decisions": 47, "incorrect_decisions": 2 } ``` - `active`: Stop hook checks this. If false, hook is a no-op. - `iteration`: Current iteration number. Hook increments this before re-feed. - `depth_escalation_counter`: How many consecutive trivial-only iterations. At 3, go proactive. - `trust_leve
