Agent Loops Are the Real Unit of Productivity
solyarisoftware · x · 2026-07-15
This repost highlights that while a good harness handles single runs, agent loops are necessary to elevate results when a single run isn't enough.
The core idea is to break down tasks among sub-agents coordinated by a main loop; if tools are lacking, the agent can write new ones itself. The author also links to a series of articles on sub-agents, dynamic workflows, and agents that build their own tools.
