# /loop-from-task — turn a TaskList item into a self-terminating loop ## Why this exists Composing the existing primitives: - `TaskList` is the durable cross-fire state per CLAUDE.md - `/loop` schedules cron-driven fires - The natural pattern "keep working on task X until it's done" needs glue between them — that's this skill A loop created via `/loop-from-task` carries a self-terminating prompt: each fire checks the task's status, continues work if `in_progress` or `pending`, and `/loop-stop`s itself once `completed`. ## Argument parsing ``` /loop-from-task <task-id> <interval> /loop-from-task <task-id> <interval> notes: "<additional context>" ``` - `<task-id>` — TaskList ID (e.g. `3`). Required. - `<interval>` — same syntax as /loop (`5m`, `1h`, `30s`, `2d`). - `notes:` — optional additional context appended to the generated prompt (e.g. "stop at 5pm", "PR is blocked on review"). If either positional arg is missing: show `TaskList`, ask which to loop on and at what cadence. ## Steps 1. **Verify the task exists.** Call `TaskList`. If `<task-id>` isn't present, error out with the current list. 2. **Verify the task isn't already completed.** If `status == completed`, tell user "task #N is already done — nothing to loop on" and stop. 3. **Verify no existing loop already wraps this task.** Check `CronList` + `~/.claude/.paused-loops.json` for any prompt containing `loop-from-task: task-<id>` (we tag the generated prompt). If found, tell user, don't
