loop-me Skill for Claude Code: Grill Yourself Into Workflow Specs

Makes Claude interview you about the repeated parts of your work and write each one up as a workflow spec in your current folder.

Updated: Nov 2026; last repo commit

loop-me runs a stateful /grilling session whose only output is workflow specs. A "loop" is a recurring pattern in your life or work, and a workflow is the written spec of one loop. Claude asks a round of questions at a time with a suggested answer for each, and creates, edits and deletes spec files as you settle things. A spec is done when an implementer could build it without asking a question.

Specs live in workflows/*.md. Notes about your tools, channels and terms live in NOTES.md, and Claude interviews you about your world first if that file is thin. It uses the grilling skill, so install both together. You call it yourself, since the skill sets disable-model-invocation. It is in the repo's in-progress folder.

Good for

People who want to hand repeated work to an agent but have not written it down
Builders who need implementation-ready specs for automations
Fans of the grill-me interview style who want it aimed at their routines

Paste it into Claude Code. It shows the change and asks before running it.

Requires Node.js.

The in-progress README says these beta skills are left out of the plugin, so install them by name. loop-me tells Claude to run a /grilling session, so name grilling too. The README form is --skill=<name>.

Questions

How do I install loop-me?

Use the install box at the top of this page. It installs loop-me together with grilling, because loop-me tells Claude to run a /grilling session. The repo README says in-progress skills are not in the plugin.

Does loop-me need the grilling skill?

Yes. SKILL.md says to run a stateful /grilling session with the grilling discipline, so install grilling with it. The README calls grilling the interview skill behind grill-me and others.

What does loop-me produce?

Markdown spec files under workflows/ and notes in NOTES.md in the folder where you run it. It writes specs, not code.

How is it different from grill-me?

grill-me interviews you about a plan or idea. loop-me uses the same grilling style but only produces workflow specs for repeated tasks, and keeps state in your folder across sessions.

Is loop-me safe?

It edits, creates and deletes files in your current folder, so run it in a folder you are happy to change. It bundles no scripts.
