reader: someone installing or running meow-loop on Pi answers: what meow-loop provides, what it adds to a session and how to install it kind: reference describes: [@meowshed/meow-loop@0.16.0]

@meowshed/meow-loop

Repeats one prompt in fresh claude -p calls, bound to one step of the method, until the step's work is done and the verification stages a person names pass at one tree, the stated number of iterations has run, the next call could pass the stated budget or two iterations in a row change nothing, with its bounds held outside the model, ends a run that changes its own terms, crosses a gate or leaves its step, and lets only a person start a run. It keeps nothing in context on every turn. Distributed as a Pi package.

Install it

pi install npm:@meowshed/meow-loop

The paw executable ships with @meowshed/meow-core alone (REQ-4612): this package's launchers run their subcommands through it, so install the core package beside this one for the binary-backed checks. Without it, every check reports unrun and lets the command through.

pi install npm:@meowshed/meow-core   # carries the binary the launchers run

Installing from this repository's checkout is the development install: it loads the package in place and runs no lifecycle script.

Start a run

A person starts a run by typing /meow-loop:run --iterations 5 --hours 2 in the session. The run repeats the method's chain there, and typing any other prompt ends it cancelled. Each bound has a default, so /meow-loop:run alone runs up to 10 iterations and 4 hours.

Prepare a run for a terminal

The loop skill writes the prompt file a run outside the session reads and prints the meow-loop start command for a terminal outside the session, such as a separate tmux window. Only a person starts a run, in either place.
