Resumen

Universal discipline for any LM-driven loop — agent retries, plan-act-observe, multi-agent handoffs, optimiser passes, test-fix cycles. Encodes the one rule every framework documents quietly and every team relearns expensively: the LM in the loop is NEVER a reliable terminator. Termination must be provided by an explicit counter + exit predicate + stagnation signal + escalation path that live OUTSIDE the LM's control. This is a tool- level, framework-agnostic skill. It maps onto LangGraph (recursion_limit + state counter + interrupt), CrewAI (max_iter + max_rpm + human_input), Claude / OpenAI SDKs (max_iterations + tool_use_budget), DSPy (declared evaluation budget), Aider (REPL + explicit retry cap), and AutoGen (max_consecutive_auto_reply). Search keywords: infinite loop, recursion limit, recursion_limit, GraphRecursionError, max iterations, max_iter, agent stuck, agent won't stop, runaway agent, ReAct loop not terminating, agent repeating itself.

1. 何时激活 (Activation Rules)

Activate this skill when any of the following is true:

The task involves a workflow that contains a cycle — tool-call → reflect → retry, plan → act → observe → re-plan, draft → critique → revise, test → fix → re-test.
The user is hitting a framework's "loop too deep" error: GRAPH_RECURSION_LIMIT (LangGraph), MaxIterationsExceeded (LangChain AgentExecutor), "agent exceeded max_iter" (CrewAI), max_turns reached (OpenAI Agents SDK), stop_reason="max_tokens" mid-tool-use (Anthropic).
The user proposes "let's just raise the limit" / "set max_iter to 100" / recursion_limit=200 — this is the canonical anti-pattern this skill exists to prevent.
The user is building a multi-agent system with delegation, handoff, or supervisor patterns — these are exposure-multipliers for unbounded loops (see [gh/crewai-330]).
The user is building an optimiser / evaluator loop (DSPy, AutoEval, RLHF, self-refining agent) where "stop when good enough" is the termination criterion — this is never sufficient on its own.
The user wants a test-fix loop, self-healing code agent, or iterative refinement workflow — every code-agent in production (Cursor, Aider, Devin, Claude Code) ships with an explicit step budget.

Do not activate for: single LLM calls, one-shot RAG queries, stateless tool pipelines, or flows where the cycle is provably bounded by data (e.g., "iterate once per row in this fixed list").

2. 核心心智模型 (Core Mental Model)

Every loop body must produce a state change that proves progress — and the proof must be checkable without calling another LM.

Read that twice. It contains four claims:

The body must change state. A no-op iteration (same input → same output) is the definition of a stuck loop. If your body might return the same value twice, the loop is already broken; the safety net just hasn't fired yet.
The change must be progress, not just diff. A retry that says "I tried again, same error" is a change but not progress. The witness has to be monotone: counter strictly increasing, error list strictly shrinking, confidence strictly rising, or a new fact added to the plan.
The proof must be checkable. Pure Python. A dict.get("retries") < N, not await llm.ainvoke("are we done?"). If you ask the LM to evaluate termination, you've recreated the problem one level up — now that loop needs bounding.
The LM is not allowed to vote. It can suggest finality (stop_reason="end_turn", final_answer tool, etc.) but the framework must verify against the predicate before terminating. Otherwise an LM that always says "let me try once more" runs forever.

Why the framework's default safety net is not enough

Every framework ships a default cap:

LangGraph: recursion_limit=25 [lc-docs/errors]
CrewAI: Agent.max_iter=20, Crew.max_rpm [crewai-docs/agents]
LangChain AgentExecutor: max_iterations=15 (deprecated default)
OpenAI Agents: Run.max_turns
Anthropic Messages: max_tokens per call (per-call, not per-loop)

These are billing safety nets, not control flow. The LangGraph docs say so explicitly:

"If you are not expecting your graph to go through many iterations, you likely have a cycle. Check your logic for infinite loops." — [lc-docs/errors] https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/errors/GRAPH_RECURSION_LIMIT

And the cheatsheet adds:

"Hitting the limit typically indicates an underlying design flaw. The recursion limit is a safety net for runaway code, not a primary control flow mechanism." — [cheatsheet/gotchas]

When you raise the limit to "fix" the error, you've moved the bug further away, not removed it. The text-to-SQL agent in [gh/6731] would have hit recursion_limit=100 after burning 5× the Databricks quota.

The three-axis termination model

A bounded loop has three independent termination axes; you need at least two firing in series:

                ┌─── (a) success predicate met → exit success
                │
[loop body] ────┼─── (b) counter / budget exhausted → exit escalation
                │
                └─── (c) stagnation detected → exit escalation

If you only have (a), the LM controls termination — it doesn't. If you only have (b), you'll burn the budget on N identical iterations. If you only have (c), one-shot flake will look like success.

Compose all three.

3. SOP 工作流 (Standard Operating Procedure)

A coder agent walks this top-down. Each step has a decision gate — answer "no" and you go back, not forward.

Step 1 · Identify the loop body and the cycle invariant

Before adding any bound, write down on paper:

What is the loop body? (one function / one node / one task)
What input does it read? What output does it write?
What state field MUST be different on iteration N+1 vs iteration N for this to be progress? That field is your progress witness.

Gate: if you can't name the witness, you don't yet understand the loop well enough to bound it. Don't add a counter — go think.

Common witnesses by workflow shape:

Workflow	Witness
Tool-call → error → retry	`last_error` text must change (or counter increments)
Plan → act → observe	`plan_revision: int` strictly increases
Draft → critique → revise	`critique` length shrinks OR `revision_count` increments with non-empty diff
Test → fix → re-test	`failing_tests` set strictly shrinks
Optimiser sweep	`best_metric` strictly improves (with patience)
Multi-agent handoff	`task_status` transitions through a state machine, not "in_progress → in_progress → ..."

Step 2 · Add the iteration counter

Counter discipline:

One counter per loop, not per agent. In multi-agent systems where agents can call each other (CrewAI delegation, LangGraph subgraphs), the counter must live in the shared state, not per-agent max_iter — that is the CrewAI ping-pong bug [gh/crewai-330].
Counter is monotonic — Annotated[int, operator.add] in LangGraph, not a state replace.
Counter is visible — log it; surface it in traces. A counter you can't see in LangSmith / Maxim / Datadog is a counter you'll forget is there.

Pseudocode (framework-agnostic):

def loop_body(state):
    new_state = do_one_iteration(state)
    new_state["retries"] = state.get("retries", 0) + 1
    return new_state

def should_continue(state) -> Literal["continue", "give_up"]:
    if state["retries"] >= MAX_RETRIES:
        return "give_up"
    if success_predicate(state):
        return "end"
    return "continue"

Step 3 · Add the stagnation detector

The counter alone wastes (N-1) iterations on identical work. Add a progress witness comparison:

def should_continue(state):
    if state.get("last_witness") == state.get("witness"):
        return "give_up_stagnant"
    if state["retries"] >= MAX_RETRIES:
        return "give_up_budget"
    if success_predicate(state):
        return "end"
    return "continue"

Stagnation signals worth detecting:

Same last_error two iterations running.
Same tool_calls hash (same tool, same args) two iterations.
plan_revision did not increment.
failing_tests did not shrink (test-fix loop).

When stagnation fires, always escalate — don't retry.

Step 4 · Pick the LM's view of the loop state

The LM must see the loop counter and the last error / last witness. If it doesn't, it will happily repeat. Concretely:

LangGraph: include retries and last_error in the messages passed to the LLM node — or render them into the system prompt at each iteration.
CrewAI: surface the previous task's failure in the next task's context=[...], not in Crew.memory (which is muddier).
Claude / OpenAI SDKs: in the next user/tool-result message, include "Attempt {n} of {N}. Previous error: {err}. If you cannot fix it on this attempt, return final_answer with status=failed."

Without this, the LM thinks it's on iteration 1 forever. The framework's counter is in your code; the behavioural counter must be in the prompt.

Step 5 · Build the escalation branch before you remove the safety net

The framework's safety net exists for a reason — runaway billing. Don't disable it. Instead, build the graceful give-up that catches the counter/stagnation exit:

LangGraph: a give_up node that calls interrupt({"reason": ...}), preserving the full state for a human or outer agent to inspect.
CrewAI: a fallback Task with human_input=True that fires when the main task fails the validation in expected_output.
Claude SDK: a human_escalation tool that the model is forced to call when attempt == N.
OpenAI Agents: handle Run.status == "incomplete" / incomplete_reason == "max_turns" in the caller and surface to user.

Rule of thumb: a loop without a give-up branch is a loop that fails to a stack trace. That's not graceful.

Step 6 · Layer the outer safety bound

Even with counter + witness + escalation, each individual iteration can be expensive (one tool call doing a 200k-token web search). Add:

Token budget: sum input + output tokens across iterations; cap.
Wall-clock timeout: asyncio.wait_for(loop, timeout=T) at the outermost caller.
Rate limit: CrewAI max_rpm, OpenAI tier limits, Anthropic requests_per_minute. Hit these before you hit the model's rate-limit error which adds backoff + more retries.

These are not redundant with the counter — they're orthogonal axes. A 3-iteration loop where one iteration runs for 4 hours still wedges your system.

Step 7 · Test the bound

Write a regression test that injects a permanent failure and asserts:

The loop exits within N iterations (counter works).
The loop exits before N if the same error recurs (stagnation works).
The final state is captured in the escalation branch (escalation works).
The trace shows the counter visible (observability works).

This is the same shape as [gh/6731]'s recommended fix: "Add a regression test that injects a permanent SQL error and asserts the graph terminates within 3 iterations." Steal that pattern.

4. 操作模型 (Operation Models)

Each operation is a primitive a coder agent can invoke. Format: Trigger → Action → Output → Evidence.

Trigger: Any cyclic LM workflow exists — even one cycle.
Action: Add a typed integer field to the workflow's persistent state with

## 1. 何时激活 (Activation Rules)

Activate this skill when **any** of the following is true:

- The task involves a workflow that contains a **cycle** — tool-call → reflect
  → retry, plan → act → observe → re-plan, draft → critique → revise,
  test → fix → re-test.
- The user is hitting a framework's "loop too deep" error:
  `GRAPH_RECURSION_LIMIT` (LangGraph), `MaxIterationsExceeded` (LangChain
  `AgentExecutor`), "agent exceeded max_iter" (CrewAI), `max_turns reached`
  (OpenAI Agents SDK), `stop_reason="max_tokens"` mid-tool-use (Anthropic).
- The user proposes "let's just raise the limit" / "set max_iter to 100" /
  `recursion_limit=200` — this is the canonical anti-pattern this skill
  exists to prevent.
- The user is building a **multi-agent** system with delegation, handoff,
  or supervisor patterns — these are exposure-multipliers for unbounded
  loops (see `[gh/crewai-330]`).
- The user is building an **optimiser / evaluator loop** (DSPy, AutoEval,
  RLHF, self-refining agent) where "stop when good enough" is the
  termination criterion — this is *never* sufficient on its own.
- The user wants a **test-fix loop**, **self-healing code agent**, or
  **iterative refinement** workflow — every code-agent in production
  (Cursor, Aider, Devin, Claude Code) ships with an explicit step budget.

Do **not** activate for: single LLM calls, one-shot RAG queries, stateless
tool pipelines, or flows where the cycle is provably bounded by data (e.g.,
"iterate once per row in this fixed list").

   shrinking, confidence strictly rising, or a new fact added to the plan.

3. **The proof must be checkable.** Pure Python. A `dict.get("retries") < N`,
   not `await llm.ainvoke("are we done?")`. If you ask the LM to evaluate
   termination, you've recreated the problem one level up — now *that* loop

   that always says "let me try once more" runs forever.

Every framework ships a default cap:

- LangGraph: `recursion_limit=25` `[lc-docs/errors]`
- CrewAI: `Agent.max_iter=20`, `Crew.max_rpm` `[crewai-docs/agents]`
- LangChain `AgentExecutor`: `max_iterations=15` (deprecated default)

- Anthropic Messages: `max_tokens` per call (per-call, not per-loop)

These are **billing safety nets**, not control flow. The LangGraph docs
say so explicitly:

> "If you are not expecting your graph to go through many iterations, you
> likely have a cycle. Check your logic for infinite loops."
> — `[lc-docs/errors]` `https://docs.langchain.com/oss/python/langgraph/errors/GRAPH_RECURSION_LIMIT`

And the cheatsheet adds:

When you raise the limit to "fix" the error, you've **moved the bug
further away**, not removed it. The text-to-SQL agent in `[gh/6731]`
would have hit `recursion_limit=100` after burning 5× the Databricks

                │
                └─── (c) stagnation detected → exit escalation
```

If you only have (a), the LM controls termination — it doesn't.
If you only have (b), you'll burn the budget on N identical iterations.
If you only have (c), one-shot flake will look like success.

Compose all three.

- What is the loop body? (one function / one node / one task)
- What input does it read? What output does it write?
- What state field MUST be different on iteration N+1 vs iteration N for
  this to be progress? That field is your **progress witness**.

Gate: if you can't name the witness, you don't yet understand the loop
well enough to bound it. Don't add a counter — go think.

Common witnesses by workflow shape:

| Tool-call → error → retry | `last_error` text must change (or counter increments) |
| Plan → act → observe | `plan_revision: int` strictly increases |

| Optimiser sweep | `best_metric` strictly improves (with patience) |
| Multi-agent handoff | `task_status` transitions through a state machine, not "in_progress → in_progress → ..." |

### Step 2 · Add the iteration counter

Counter discipline:

- **One counter per loop**, not per agent. In multi-agent systems where
  agents can call each other (CrewAI delegation, LangGraph subgraphs),
  the counter must live in the **shared** state, not per-agent
  `max_iter` — that is the CrewAI ping-pong bug `[gh/crewai-330]`.
- **Counter is monotonic** — `Annotated[int, operator.add]` in LangGraph,
  not a state replace.
- **Counter is visible** — log it; surface it in traces. A counter you
  can't see in LangSmith / Maxim / Datadog is a counter you'll forget
  is there.

Pseudocode (framework-agnostic):

```python
def loop_body(state):
    new_state = do_one_iteration(state)
    new_state["retries"] = state.get("retries", 0) + 1
    return new_state

def should_continue(state) -> Literal["continue", "give_up"]:
    if state["retries"] >= MAX_RETRIES:
        return "give_up"
    if success_predicate(state):
        return "end"
    return "continue"
```

### Step 3 · Add the stagnation detector

The counter alone wastes (N-1) iterations on identical work. Add a
progress witness comparison:

```python
def should_continue(state):
    if state.get("last_witness") == state.get("witness"):
        return "give_up_stagnant"
    if state["retries"] >= MAX_RETRIES:
        return "give_up_budget"
    if success_predicate(state):
        return "end"
    return "continue"
```

Stagnation signals worth detecting:

- Same `last_error` two iterations running.
- Same `tool_calls` hash (same tool, same args) two iterations.
- `plan_revision` did not increment.
- `failing_tests` did not shrink (test-fix loop).

When stagnation fires, **always escalate** — don't retry.

### Step 4 · Pick the LM's view of the loop state

The LM must see the loop counter and the last error / last witness. If
it doesn't, it will happily repeat. Concretely:

- **LangGraph**: include `retries` and `last_error` in the messages
  passed to the LLM node — or render them into the system prompt at
  each iteration.
- **CrewAI**: surface the previous task's failure in the next task's
  `context=[...]`, not in `Crew.memory` (which is muddier).
- **Claude / OpenAI SDKs**: in the next user/tool-result message,
  include `"Attempt {n} of {N}. Previous error: {err}. If you cannot
  fix it on this attempt, return final_answer with status=failed."`

Without this, the LM thinks it's on iteration 1 forever. The framework's
counter is in your code; the *behavioural* counter must be in the prompt.

### Step 5 · Build the escalation branch *before* you remove the safety net

The framework's safety net exists for a reason — runaway billing. Don't
disable it. Instead, build the **graceful give-up** that catches the
counter/stagnation exit:

- LangGraph: a `give_up` node that calls `interrupt({"reason": ...})`,
  preserving the full state for a human or outer agent to inspect.
- CrewAI: a fallback `Task` with `human_input=True` that fires when the
  main task fails the validation in `expected_output`.
- Claude SDK: a `human_escalation` tool that the model is *forced* to
  call when `attempt == N`.
- OpenAI Agents: handle `Run.status == "incomplete"` /
  `incomplete_reason == "max_turns"` in the caller and surface to user.

Rule of thumb: **a loop without a give-up branch is a loop that fails to
a stack trace**. That's not graceful.

### Step 6 · Layer the outer safety bound

Even with counter + witness + escalation, each individual iteration can
be expensive (one tool call doing a 200k-token web search). Add:

- **Token budget**: sum input + output tokens across iterations; cap.
- **Wall-clock timeout**: `asyncio.wait_for(loop, timeout=T)` at the
  outermost caller.
- **Rate limit**: CrewAI `max_rpm`, OpenAI tier limits, Anthropic
  `requests_per_minute`. Hit these *before* you hit the model's
  rate-limit error which adds backoff + more retries.

These are not redundant with the counter — they're orthogonal axes. A
3-iteration loop where one iteration runs for 4 hours still wedges your
system.

### Step 7 · Test the bound

Write a regression test that *injects a permanent failure* and asserts:

- The loop exits within N iterations (counter works).
- The loop exits *before* N if the same error recurs (stagnation works).
- The final state is captured in the escalation branch (escalation works).
- The trace shows the counter visible (observability works).

This is the same shape as `[gh/6731]`'s recommended fix: "Add a
regression test that injects a permanent SQL error and asserts the graph
terminates within 3 iterations." Steal that pattern.
