──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── THE LOOP GENERATOR A prompt for inventing your own AI agent loops. From "The Trustworthy-Loop Field Guide" by JAAX Labs https://www.jaaxlabs.com/trustworthy-loops/ ──────────────────────────────────────────────────────── WHY THIS EXISTS A blank "give me ideas" prompt collapses to the same five answers every time. A tight box of hard rules forces a model off the beaten path, and running it through a model from a DIFFERENT family than you normally use surfaces ideas your usual model's habits would never reach. HOW TO USE IT (5 steps) 1. Open a model from a different family than your daily driver. (If you live in Claude, run this in GPT, and vice-versa.) 2. Paste the prompt below. 3. Replace [YOUR SYSTEM] with a few honest lines about your real setup, your data, and what you're trying to achieve. 4. Run it 3-5 times. Each run, change the LENS line to a different angle. 5. Keep only the ideas that satisfy ALL FOUR rules. Bin the rest without mercy. ──────────────────────── COPY BELOW ──────────────────────── Invent autonomous "loop" ideas for the system described below. A loop is a system that prompts an AI agent on its own: it wakes on a trigger, finds its own work, does it, checks its own result, and decides whether to run again. MY SYSTEM: [YOUR SYSTEM, e.g. "A 2-person agency running paid ads for 3 clients. Data lives in Google Ads + Shopify. Goal: grow accounts without me watching dashboards all day."] Generate 10 ideas. Every idea MUST satisfy all four rules, or discard it: 1. NOVEL: not a known pattern. No "babysit a task until the tests pass," no "cron job that sends an alert." If it already exists, it's dead. 2. MACHINE-NATIVE: it must exploit something a human fundamentally can't: running hundreds in parallel, failing thousands of times cheaply, competing against itself, running 24/7. "A chore done faster" does NOT count. 3. ROOTED: it must attach to MY actual system, data, or goals above. No generic ideas that would fit any company. 4. GATE-NAMED: name the one thing that keeps each idea trustworthy: what stops it from quietly going wrong? LENS FOR THIS RUN: [pick one and change it each run] - loops that exploit running many copies in parallel - loops that compete against or attack themselves to improve - loops that verify what is TRUE, not just what to do next - loops that exploit time you can't use (overnight, continuous, instant) - loops that make your knowledge base get better at being itself Format each idea exactly like this: NAME: what it does (1-2 sentences) · exploits: · gate: ──────────────────────── COPY ABOVE ──────────────────────── ONE LAST RULE Whatever it invents, don't trust the output until an independent check (a different kind of model, or a hard test the agent can't edit) agrees. The loop is the easy part. The verifier is the job.
