Zulip loop

Use this skill when you want the session to behave like a continuous autonomous worker that still remains steerable from Zulip.

Treat $ARGUMENTS as the current mission or loop objective.

Required setup

1. Read ZULIPCHAT_SESSION_ID, ZULIPCHAT_SESSION_STREAM, and

ZULIPCHAT_SESSION_TOPIC from the shell.

1. If the session is not bound yet, stop and explain the missing hook setup.

Loop contract

Each cycle should do exactly this:

1. Poll poll_agent_events(session_id=..., limit=20).
2. Incorporate any owner steering or commands before doing more work.
3. Decide whether the lifecycle state changed. If it did, emit one lifecycle message.
4. Do one concrete unit of work toward the mission.
5. If blocked on owner input, call request_user_input(...) and wait.
6. Exit the loop when the mission is complete, the owner pauses or cancels the

session, or the session binding is closed.

/loop integration

If the current Claude Code build exposes the native /loop command, this skill's instructions are the policy for each loop turn. If /loop is not available, follow the same cycle in the current conversation instead of failing.

Replies and reliable delivery

Questions use /reply REQUEST_ID YOUR ANSWER; approvals use /approve REQUEST_ID or /deny REQUEST_ID. Call wait_for_response(request_id=..., timeout_seconds=30) and retain the same request ID after a timeout. Do not post duplicate prompts.

Poll steering with auto_ack=False in the bound session. Handle each event, then acknowledge its ID with ack_event_ids in the same session scope. Replayed events must not repeat completed external actions. A delivered partial result includes its message ID and retry_safe=False; inspect that result before retrying.
