Copy the kickoff into your agent first. The blueprint below explains how the loop evaluates progress and when it should stop.

Open in Cursor Open in Claude

Use loop copies the kickoff prompt. Share copies the loop link. Open in Cursor / Claude only pre-fill that prompt — they do not install hook files. Download loop saves the loop as ship-pr-until-green.md.

Start the "Ship PR Until Green" loop.

Goal: PR is open with all CI checks passing
Max iterations: 10
Between iterations run: gh pr checks
Exit when: all PR checks are success

Step 1: Implement the change, test locally, push, open PR, and fix CI until green.

Self-pace this loop. After each iteration, run the check command, read the output, and only continue if the exit condition is not met. Stop when the exit condition passes or max iterations is reached. Give a short status update each pass.
