Produced by Google, an 8-minute step-by-step guide to building a minimal Agent loop — possibly the fastest way to grasp what a loop is.
In my own writing and practical usage, when it comes to true understanding, it’s not complicated. Just like understanding Skill, what’s really needed is managing documents and document content, rather than managing prompts.
But writing a good Skill is still not easy.
Likewise, using a loop well is not as simple as understanding it.
The most important thing is to start using it first.
Practice is the sole criterion for truth.

@yibie: Every programmer should hand-write an agent. It only takes about 50 lines of code, it's fun, and it will surprise you.

@cnzhihao: "Shorter prompts actually yield better results." I'd call this the most meaningful sentence in the Loop Engineering phase. I've also fallen into the trap when building Agents for clients: a bunch of Skills and a thousand-word AGENTS.md. In fact, GPT-5.6's approach of clearly stating the results, constraints, success criteria, and where autonomy stops — without repeatedly asking me for my logic — might be the right way to go.
The author shares that short prompts work better when building Agents, emphasizing the need to clarify results, constraints, and autonomy, which reduces token consumption and rework costs.
