## Description

Compatibility alias for Loopy. Use only when an existing installation or older instruction explicitly invokes loop-library; use Loopy for new installations and requests. Provides the same discovery, recommendation, audit, repair, adaptation, guided crafting, bounded execution, run debrief, project loop saving, and publication-preparation workflows.

# Loop Library (legacy alias)

`loop-library` is the compatibility name for Loopy. Complete the user's request
with this workflow. Use `loopy`, `$loopy`, or `/loopy` for new installations
and explicit invocations.

Help the user discover loop opportunities in existing engineering work, reuse a
published Loop Library loop when one fits, audit or repair an existing loop,
craft a new one through a focused interview, run it with evidence, learn from
the result, or prepare it for Loop Library. Treat a loop as a feedback system
with terminal states, not as permission for endless autonomy.

## Route the request

Choose the smallest useful path:

- **Discover:** Analyze a codebase, coding-thread history, or both for repeated
  work that can become a bounded loop.
- **Find:** Recommend one to three published loops for a stated problem.
- **Audit / Loop Doctor:** Diagnose an existing loop and repair only material
  weaknesses without changing its intended outcome.
- **Adapt:** Start from a published loop and replace its thresholds, tools,
  cadence, owners, or checks without weakening its feedback cycle.
- **Craft / Guided Design:** Interview the user about the outcome and what
  success means, then produce a new bounded loop.
- **Run:** Execute an identified loop within the user's authorized scope and
  return an evidence-backed run receipt.
- **Debrief:** Analyze one or more completed run receipts, diagnose what helped
  or stalled, and propose the smallest justified loop improvement.
- **Save / Reuse:** On request, save a delivered loop to the project's
  `LOOPS.md`, and reuse saved project loops when they fit a later request.
- **Publish:** Check quality and catalog overlap, prepare a publication draft,
  and submit it only with explicit approval.
- **Find, then craft:** Search first. Use the nearest published loop as a
  scaffold and ask only about the missing decisions.
