# dsh-agent-loop
THE concrete agent plugin: `LoopAgent` and the loop driver. Implements the
`Agent` interface and drives the session/turn/step lifecycle.
This is the only package in the harness that contains concrete loop logic.
Everything else is an abstract service or a plugin against extension seams —
new behavior goes into plugins, not here.
## Service: `AgentLoop` (ctx key: `agentLoop`)
### Public API
- `ctx.agentLoop.create(id: string, options?: AgentOptions): LoopAgent`
Create an agent, start its loop, and register it in `ctx.agents`. Disposed
with the calling fiber.
### Injected services
`agents`, `sessions`, `llm`, `tools`, `systemPrompt` — all five interface
services.
### Configuration (schemastery)
```ts
Config: {
agents: Array<{
id: string // required
model?: string
systemPrompt?: string
}>
}
```
Agents listed in config are auto-created at startup.
### Classes
- `LoopAgent` — the concrete `Agent` implementation. Owns the inbox (`Inbox`),
the per-step `AbortController`, and the loop driver. Everything observable
happens through session events and the `agent/*` event taxonomy.
- `Inbox` — per-agent queued + steering FIFOs (`enqueue`, `steer`, `drainQueued`,
`drainSteering`, `waitForQueued`).
### Loop lifecycle (`loop.ts`)
One invocation of `runLoop()` drives one agent for its whole lifetime:
```
forever:
wait for queued messages (idle)
TURN (error-contained):
drain queued → session('user/message') → 'turn/start'
STEP loop:
drain steering
assembly = systemPrompt.assemble()
request = waterfall agent/request
stream llm.stream(request) → session('assistant/chunk')
message = waterfall agent/step-result
session('assistant/message')
each tool-call: session('tool/call') → tools.execute() → session('tool/result')
drain steering → session('steering/message')
cont = waterfall agent/turn-continuation
if !cont: break
session('turn/end')
await session/flush
re-enqueue leftover steering as queued
idle unless more queued
```
Error containment: a throwing plugin ends the **turn**, never the loop. Dispose
mid-turn emits `agent/status('disposed')` and ends with reason `disposed`.
### What is NOT here
Everything that goes beyond "call the model, run the tools, repeat" belongs to
plugins listening on the event taxonomy:
- Hooks: `agent/request`, `agent/step-result`, `tools/execute`, `agent/turn-continuation`
- Compaction: `agent/request`
- Sandbox, permission, plan mode: `tools/execute`
- Sub-agents: TODO seam on `AgentLoop.create()`
- Persistence: `session/event` + `session/flush`
- UI: `agent/stream-chunk` + `agent/*` events
