I Had Already Built Three Agentic Loops Without Naming Them

This article explores practical structural patterns for multi-layered agentic control loops in AI-driven software development. Building on core loop principles, the author identifies three operational layers that structure coding agent workflows: an outer execution plan loop, intermediate validation cycles, and inner implementation steps. The outer execution loop systematically updates its plan as the agent discovers repository details, running until acceptance criteria and validation tests pass completely. For developers integrating AI agents into disciplined workflows, understanding these nested feedback loops offers a structured framework for orchestrating automated implementations while preserving spec adherence.
