## AI overview

This guide explains how to build autonomous agent loops in which agents read project state, perform work, update that state, and repeat on a schedule or in response to events. It presents GitHub Issues as a control plane and describes manager and worker loops built with Claude Code and Codex, including risk classification, ticket management, and safeguards against destructive actions.
