# Support

This repository is maintained as a public field guide and curated resource list for Loop Engineering.

## Best Channels

- **Resource suggestions**: use the resource suggestion issue template.
- **Loop patterns**: use the loop pattern suggestion issue template or the pinned community pattern issue.
- **Corrections**: open a pull request when the fix is clear, or open an issue if it needs discussion.
- **Translations**: use the translation proposal issue template and follow `TRANSLATIONS.md`.
- **Security concerns**: follow `SECURITY.md`.

## What Maintainers Can Help With

- deciding whether a resource fits the narrow AI/coding-agent meaning of Loop Engineering;
- improving annotations, categories, and source quality;
- reviewing loop pattern contracts for trigger, intake, verification, state, budget, escalation, and exit;
- fixing broken links or replacing unstable sources.

## What Is Out Of Scope

- product support for third-party agent tools;
- private consulting on proprietary loops;
- generic prompt engineering questions with no loop, state, verification, or recurring system angle;
- unrelated software event loops, growth loops, control theory loops, or generic automation.
