Claude Code loop check

See when a coding agent keeps retrying the same path.

Paste a coding-agent trace from a Claude Code style workflow. CAUM checks for repeated terminal/edit/test patterns, identity stalls, and structural burn without reading code or prompts.

Best first use: paste a Claude Code or coding-agent event trace, run the local check, then move recurring loops into CAUM Live.

1Paste a structural traceUse event, tool, phase, status, state_id, and optional token/cost counters. No code or prompts needed.
2Run the local preflightCAUM checks exact cycles, pattern cycles, identity stalls, work-yield, and burn signals in the browser.
3Move repeats to LiveIf the same pattern comes back, CAUM Live keeps observe-only workflow memory across sessions.

The problem

Coding agents often do not fail loudly. They search, edit, test, see the same error, and repeat. CAUM Loop Check turns that sequence into a structural preflight before you decide whether to run a full receipt or Live monitor.

Use CAUM to find structural retry pressure in coding-agent work without exposing source code.

Useful event fields

You do not need prompts, source code, documents, customer messages, or private payloads. Structural fields are enough for a first check.

  • terminal/tool action
  • status ok/error
  • test/build phase
  • state_id for error class
  • token/cost counters if available

Example shape

[{"event":"tool_call","tool":"bash","phase":"test","status":"error","state_id":"pytest_same_failure"},
 {"event":"tool_call","tool":"edit","phase":"patch","status":"ok","state_id":"same_patch_area"},
 {"event":"tool_call","tool":"bash","phase":"test","status":"error","state_id":"pytest_same_failure"}]

What the free check returns

  • events analyzed
  • exact cycle coverage
  • structural pattern cycle coverage
  • work-yield proxy
  • burn proxy
  • trace quality

Run the free local check first.

Paste a trace into CAUM Loop Check. If it shows repeated structure, run a full receipt or put the recurring workflow into CAUM Live.

CAUM observes structure only. It does not judge correctness, read private content, block agents, or promise savings.
