Claude
This repository is a Claude Code plugin marketplace. In Claude Code:
/plugin marketplace add humanlayer/skills
/plugin install design-control-loop@skillsIn the Claude apps, zip the design-control-loop folder and upload it under Customize > Skills > + > Upload a skill (code execution must be on).
ChatGPT / Codex
Codex reads skills from .agents/skills/ in a repo or ~/.agents/skills/ for every project:
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/humanlayer/skills.git
cp -r skills/plugins/design-control-loop/skills/design-control-loop .agents/skills/design-control-loop # repo; ~/.agents/skills for all projectsStandalone skills also load in the ChatGPT desktop app.

What this skill does
interview the user to design an agentic control loop (sensor, controller, actuator under disturbances) tailored to their codebase, then build it as locally-runnable components plus a scheduled coding-agent workflow Use this skill when a user wants to drive some property of their codebase toward a target with small, low-risk, reviewable changes on a schedule — an agentic control loop.
