## AI overview

This tutorial explains agent loops for product managers, distinguishing routines, workflows, and goal-driven loops. It emphasizes defining acceptance criteria, success metrics, and sign-off conditions so an agent knows when to stop, and discusses Claude Code, Codex, /loop, and /goal.

## Source excerpt

PMs already define done: acceptance criteria, metrics, signoff. That's what makes loops useful. Includes PRD hardening, feedback clustering, competitor watch, and ship checks.
