🛠️ LoopX: An External State Layer for AI Agents

ByteDance engineer Huang Ruiteng has open-sourced LoopX, a lightweight Python package (Python 3.11+, MIT) for managing goals, quotas, and human oversight in AI agent tasks. Version v0.4.5 (August 12): five security vulnerabilities fixed, task completion validation added.

🌍 LoopX introduces the concept of loop engineering — managed state for long-term tasks, similar to an agent Kanban board. Partners: OpenViking and NoKV.

👤 One-command installation, works on top of Codex, Claude Code, Cursor, and OpenCode. Version v0.4.5 is production-safe.
