 The Auto Loop creates a continuous feedback cycle for completing complex tasks:
 
-1. You work on the task until you go idle
-2. The plugin detects the idle state and checks for completion
-3. If not complete, it extracts your progress and prompts you to continue
-4. This repeats until you output the completion promise or max iterations reached

+2. You work on the task until you go idle
+3. The plugin detects the idle state and checks for completion
+4. If not complete, it extracts your progress and prompts you to continue
+5. This repeats until you output the completion signal or max iterations reached
 
 Your previous work remains accessible through files, git history, and the state file's progress sections.
 
 ## Starting the Loop
 
-When you invoke this skill, create the state file in the project directory:
+**Always use the `auto-loop` tool** to start the loop. Do NOT create the state file manually. The tool handles state file creation, session tracking, and initialization.

----
-active: true
-iteration: 0
