Loop Engineering Reading List: Agents Enter the Era of Long Runs
Roger_M_Taylor · x · 2026-07-07
A reading list focused on "Loop engineering." The core thesis is that by 2026, the key focus for agents will no longer be smarter prompts, but rather longer continuous runs.
This reflects a shift in agent engineering from single-turn prompt optimization toward long-horizon, persistent task orchestration, with the list curating relevant readings on the topic.
