Run the cycle so learning compounds and code accumulation does not masquerade as progress.
Goal
re0-loop keeps a project moving through repeated turns:
FRAME -> BUILD -> DRIVE -> RE0-MEMO -> HATE -> RE0-WORK -> BUILD AGAINThe unit of progress is not hours, files, panels, or features. It is the count of quality-cleared templates, reusable platform modules, and anti-patterns eliminated in later cycles.
Workflow
- Frame the thesis and quality gates.
- Build one complete vertical slice.
- Drive it through the real surface: browser for web apps, HTTP for API contracts, computer-use for desktop apps, and CLI only for data-shaped artifacts.
- Run
re0-memoto extract lessons, anti-patterns, and next-cycle gates. - Decide whether the next pass iterates in place or uses
re0-work; when that call or the next move is unclear,nbareads the cycle state and returns the single next action. - Kill the next plan before build: use the project's adversarial review skill or a human-invoked attack when that skill is user-only.
- Version only templates or modules that clear their gates.
Rules
- Tests are supporting evidence, not the gate; every turn needs a real-surface proof sized to the artifact.
- Do not widen before the core loop clears.
- Do not confuse generated variety with structural variety. If many outputs converge to the same shape, the cycle failed the variety gate.
- Preserve negative corpus so later cycles can prove the same anti-pattern is gone.
- Let code die. A restart that preserves the right lessons is progress.
- Stop a lap when no outside truth enters; add evidence before another internal pass.
Verification
Before finishing a lap:
- The real surface was driven and evidence was captured.
- The re0-memo names at least one lesson, anti-pattern, or gate that affects the next pass.
- The keep/iterate/re0-work decision is explicit.
- Any version label belongs only to a quality-cleared template or module.
