The universal pattern
Every loop is the same five lines. Fill in the brackets:
GOAL: [what you want, in one sentence] SOURCE: [where to look — a website, your files, your inbox] LOOP: Keep working in a loop until ALL of these are true: - [complete? — every item / city / section covered] - [correct? — only real data, nothing invented] - [trustworthy? — include the source / link / screenshot as proof] SHOW ME: [the format you want] so I can check it before I use it.
The skill is the “until” list. The more precisely you describe done and trustworthy, the better the result. Vague finish line → vague work. Sharp finish line → work you can hand to your boss. You write the line; the AI runs to it; you sign off.
Copy, paste, point at your own work
The starter loops
Each one is plain English. Paste it into Claude Cowork or ChatGPT agent mode, swap the brackets, and let it run.
🚗 Loop #1 — Competitor-Offer Tracker the one from the video
Copy & paste
Find the current [Brand] [Model] offers on [official site, e.g. bmwusa.com] for [cities]. Keep working in a loop until: every city has an offer; each one includes its disclaimer; and each lists monthly payment, trim, due-at-signing, and MSRP — with a screenshot as proof. Then show me a clean table, one row per city, so I can verify before I share it.Swap the brackets for any competitor, product, or market you track.
🗒️ Loop #2 — Weekly Update
Copy & paste
Turn my rough notes below into my weekly update for [audience]. Keep working until: all five sections are present (Headline · Shipped · Numbers · Risks · Next week); every number is one I actually gave you (never invent one — if one's missing, mark it [NUMBER?]); zero buzzwords; under 200 words. Then show me the draft. Notes: [paste]🔎 Loop #3 — Research Brief
Copy & paste
Brief me on [topic/company/competitor] for [purpose]. Keep working until: you've covered [the 4–5 questions I need answered]; every claim has a source link; you've flagged anything you couldn't verify. Then show me a one-page brief, sources at the bottom, so I can check it.📥 Loop #4 — Inbox → Action Items
Copy & paste
Read this thread/inbox and pull out what I actually need to do. Keep working until: every action has an owner and a due date; nothing important is missed; each links back to the message it came from. Then show me the action list + draft replies for the ones that need me. [paste]No code required
Where to run them
Claude Cowork
Best for loops that go out and do things — browse, gather, check. Paste the prompt; let it run.
ChatGPT agent mode
Same idea, different door. AgentKit works too.
n8n / Zapier AI agents
When you want a loop that runs on a schedule, on its own. A later step — we'll get there.
Start simple
Begin in Cowork or agent mode. Once a loop earns its keep, give it a trigger so it runs without you.
The one rule
You draw the finish line.
The AI does the running. You draw the finish line, and you sign off. That's the part that's yours — and it's the part that doesn't get automated.
