Loop Engineering: Building a No-Prompt CI Automation That Files Jira Tickets
Pavan_Belagatti · x · 2026-09-28
The author introduces "Loop Engineering": building autonomous systems that replace you as the prompter, with AI agents and automations iterating in a loop until the desired outcome is achieved.
Using Port, an agentic SDLC platform, the author built a zero-prompt CI use case:
- When a CI build fails, the automation triggers itself with no human input;
- It automatically creates a JIRA ticket and sends a Slack notification to the right channel;
- Fully hands-off, embodying the idea of systems prompting agents on your behalf.
A complete hands-on walkthrough is linked in the post.
