# Agentic Loop Designer

**Framework: The Yes/No Loop Canvas**
*Worth $300/hr consultant time. Yours for $29.*

## What This Skill Does

Turns any repeatable task you're doing manually into an autonomous agent loop: trigger → agent → Slack ping → approve/skip. Includes 5 ready-to-deploy loop templates and a decision tree to design your own from scratch.

**Problem it solves:** Founders spend hours on task sequences that could run themselves. Email triage, weekly reports, standup summaries, lead qualification — if you do it the same way more than twice a week, it should be a loop.

## The Yes/No Loop Canvas

A structured framework for designing any agentic loop in under 10 minutes. Built around one insight: **every automatable task is just a series of yes/no decisions**.

### Canvas Structure

```
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│              YES/NO LOOP CANVAS             │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  TRIGGER: What starts this loop?           │
│  ─────────────────────────────────────────  │
│  AGENT ACTION: What does the agent do?     │
│  ─────────────────────────────────────────  │
│  DECISION GATE: Approve / Skip / Escalate? │
│  ─────────────────────────────────────────  │
│  OUTPUT: What gets created or sent?        │
│  ─────────────────────────────────────────  │
│  MEMORY: What should persist for next run? │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
```

### Step 1: Trigger Qualification

**What kicks off this loop?**

```
Is there a natural trigger?
├── Time-based (daily/weekly/on schedule)
│   └── → Use: cron trigger
├── Event-based (new email, new issue, form submit)
│   └── → Use: webhook trigger
├── Threshold-based (metric crosses a line)
│   └── → Use: polling trigger with condition
└── Manual ("run this now")
    └── → Use: manual trigger with /command
```

**Trigger scoring:**
| Trigger Type | Reliability | Setup Effort | Recommended For |
|-------------|-------------|--------------|------...
