What agent-plan-act-reflect does

The skill was deprecated in 0.6.0 and removed in 0.7.0. A user-present cycle of editing code, running a check, fixing the result, and repeating needs no skill. Keep the acceptance check runnable and report its actual result.

For an unattended multi-cycle workflow under an agent-collab policy, use harness-loop.md. Run agent-collab policy evaluate after each cycle and before each agent spawn. Comparing two consequential alternatives belongs to agent-debate, not a loop. If an old plan still points to this skill, its instructions are out of date.

What it helps with

  • spot an outdated skill reference in a plan or prompt
  • tell a user-present check cycle from an unattended loop
  • move a policy-driven loop to harness-loop.md
  • route a comparison of alternatives to agent-debate

Example prompts for the agent

  • A plan names agent-plan-act-reflect. Explain which guidance is outdated and what should replace it.
  • Does agent-plan-act-reflect apply to editing code, running a check, and fixing the result?

It is a deprecated stub. A normal cycle of edits and checks needs no skill; an unattended loop governed by an agent-collab policy uses harness-loop.md.

What replaces agent-plan-act-reflect for unattended loops?

Use harness-loop.md for an unattended multi-cycle workflow under a configured agent-collab policy. Run agent-collab policy evaluate after each cycle and before every agent spawn.

name: agent-plan-act-reflect
description: Use when a plan, prompt, or doc still names agent-plan-act-reflect. Deprecated in 0.6.0; ordinary iterate-until-it-passes work needs no skill, and an unattended policy-driven loop follows agent-context-budget's harness loop reference. This stub is removed in 0.7.0.

# agent-plan-act-reflect (deprecated)

Deprecated in 0.6.0 and removed in 0.7.0.

- Iterating with the user present (edit, run the check, fix, repeat) needs no
  skill. Keep the acceptance check runnable and report its real result.
- An unattended multi-cycle loop under a configured `agent-collab` policy
  follows [harness-loop.md](../agent-context-budget/references/harness-loop.md),
  the former body of this skill. It still runs `agent-collab policy evaluate`
  after every cycle and before every spawn.
- Comparing two consequential alternatives is
  [agent-debate](../agent-debate/SKILL.md), not a loop.

See [migration 0.6](../../docs/migration-0.6.md).
