## AI overview

An article about designing agent loops using plan, act, and verify cycles. It covers convergence criteria, retry policies, budget-bounded execution, and stopping conditions, with TypeScript-shaped implementation patterns.

## Source excerpt

The architecture side of loop engineering: plan/act/verify cycles, convergence criteria, retry policies, budget-bounded loops, and the loop-until-dry pattern. Concrete TypeScript-shaped patterns for building agent loops that stop when they should.
