# Loop Specification — Engineering Autonomous Loops Adapts the loop engineering methodology from **arXiv:2607.00038** ("Stop Hand-Holding Your Coding Agent: Engineering the Loops that Replace Step-by-Step Prompting") for SAP development pipelines (ABAP, CPI, BTP, SAP GUI). Instead of prompting the agent at every step, design a bounded, reusable **Loop Specification** that allows the agent to pursue a goal autonomously while ensuring correctness and preventing runaway execution. ## The Loop Specification Anatomy Every loop specification must compile five core pieces and a persistent memory structure: ``` ┌────────────────────────┐ │ TRIGGER │ └───────────┬────────────┘ ▼ ┌────────────────────────┐ │ GOAL & MEMORY │◄────────┐ └───────────┬────────────┘ │ ▼ │ ┌────────────────────────┐ │ │ EXECUTION (SKILLS) │ │ └───────────┬────────────┘ │ ▼ │ ┌────────────────────────┐ │ Iteration │ VERIFICATION │ │ └───────────┬────────────┘ │ ├──────────────────────┘ ▼ ┌──────
