Arka includes a small, reusable engineering-loop planner inspired by the iterative workflow described in loop-engineering. It composes Arka’s existing repository, lint, CI, frontend, and review skills; it does not copy repository-specific code.
Each iteration follows observe → plan → implement → verify → review → learn. The loop is capped at 20 iterations, includes a CI gate, and requires approval before edits by default. Use --apply only when you have reviewed the plan; --json makes it easy for another skill or an MCP client to consume. Natural language works too:
This is separate from arka loop, which repeats a command on a time interval, and arka iterate, which repeats a command a fixed number of times.
