 "title": "Run an agent loop until your tests pass",
 "page_title": "How to run an agent loop until your tests pass with Graph Code",
 "summary": "Create a goal-based loop in Graph Code with a shell predicate, such as make test, so the agent keeps working until the check exits 0.",
 "who": "A developer with a failing build or test suite who wants the agent to keep going without being re-prompted each time.",
 "problem": "Agents often stop early and declare victory, so you check, find failures and prompt them again by hand.",
 "outcome": "A loop that only finishes when your own done check passes, with the live session open to attach to if it goes off track.",
 "steps": [
  "Install Graph Code with `brew install --cask scgopi/graphcode/graphcode` and add your project",
  "Create a loop and choose the Goal-based type",
  "Write the task, for example fix the build",
  "Set the done check to a shell predicate such as make test",
  "Press Test on the done check to run it exactly as the daemon will",
  "Start the loop; attach to its terminal if you want to correct it mid-run"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Create a GraphCode goal-based loop on <agent> for this repo with the prompt <fix the failing tests in module X without changing test files> and the done check <make test>. Tell me how to test the check before starting.",

 "difficulty": "Beginner",
 "time": "15 minutes",
