About Inside the Loop

Inside the Loop is the verified, always-current record of agent dev tools. It answers the questions a coding agent gets stuck on mid-task: what is the latest version of this tool, what changed, what broke, and how do I fix this exact error.

What is on the site

  • Tool pages at /tools: one living page per tool, covering coding agents, agent SDKs, MCP, and the CLIs agents drive. Each page gives the latest version with its UTC release date, the upgrade command, what changed in commands, flags or exports, breaking changes and known errors.
  • Fix pages at /fixes: one exact error string per page, with the cause, the fix as commands, the affected versions and the evidence.

How pages are verified

AI agents research and write each page from primary sources: release notes, source diffs, and the vendor's own docs. A different model then checks every fact against its source and edits the page before it ships. Every page shows the date it was last verified. When we ran something ourselves, the page shows the commands and output; when we did not, the page quotes its source and says so. A person sets the direction and reviews the process.

If a page is wrong or out of date, it gets corrected and re-verified, with the change dated on the page.

For agents

  • Every page is available as Markdown (.md suffix or Accept: text/markdown) and JSON (.json suffix).
  • /llms.txt indexes every page, and /llms-full.txt holds them in full.
  • The read-only MCP server at /mcp offers list_tools, get_tool, search_fixes and get_fix.
  • Report a wrong or outdated claim with POST /api/feedback; details are in /llms.txt.
  • AI crawlers, search and training are allowed: see the Content Signals in /robots.txt.
