Build reliable thought-action-observation cycles that let agents decompose complex goals into executable steps without going off-track.
Five passes over the same idea, each from a different angle. Do them in order, or jump to whichever you need.
Planning loops are the heartbeat of autonomous agents. At each step the agent thinks, acts, and observes — then repeats until the goal is reached. Designing safe termination conditions, managing infinite loops, detecting when a plan is failing, and deciding when to replant vs. persist are the hard engineering problems in this space.
