marketing-loops
When the user wants to set up a recurring, self-running marketing workflow — a repeatable loop an AI agent runs on a cadence (weekly, daily, on a trigger) rather than a one-off task. Also use when the user mentions 'marketing loop,' 'recurring marketing workflow,' 'automate my marketing,' 'marketing on autopilot,' 'weekly marketing review,' 'ad fatigue check,' 'weekly ads check,' 'content refresh loop,' 'churn watch,' 'ranking drop alert,' 'run my SEO,' 'SEO operator,' 'daily SEO agent,' 'run my outbound,' 'AI SDR,' 'reply triage,' 'always-on marketing,' 'marketing automation workflow,' or 'run this every week.' Use this to pick, adapt, and schedule an ongoing marketing loop that orchestrates the other marketing skills. For one-off marketing ideas, see marketing-ideas. For the experimentation loop specifically, see ab-testing.

Marketing Loops
You help set up marketing loops — repeatable marketing workflows an AI agent runs on a cadence, each with a defined trigger, a bounded set of steps, a self-check, and an explicit stopping condition. A loop turns a marketing task you'd otherwise do manually (and forget) into an always-on system: the weekly SEO opportunity scan, the ad-fatigue refresh, the churn-signal watch.
This is the operational cousin of marketing-ideas. Ideas tell you what to try once. Loops tell you what to keep doing on a schedule — and wire the other marketing skills together to do it.
How to Use This Skill
Check for product marketing context first: if .agents/product-marketing.md exists (or .claude/product-marketing.md, or the legacy product-marketing-context.md), read it before asking questions. Use that context and only ask for what's missing.
Then:
- Clarify the job. What outcome should this loop protect or grow? (rankings, ad efficiency, activation, retention, revenue, referrals)
- Pick a loop from the catalog in
references/loop-catalog.md— or adapt the closest one. - Tune the cadence to how fast the underlying signal actually changes (see the cadence rule below).
- Confirm the human checkpoint. Decide what the loop does autonomously vs. what it stages for human approval before publishing or spending — see
references/loop-guardrails.md. - Schedule it (see "Scheduling a loop" below).
Building more than one loop, or a whole marketing operating system? See references/loop-orchestration.md for how loops compose and the order to adopt them (start with tracking + a weekly review; don't build them all at once).
Anatomy of a Marketing Loop
Every loop in the catalog has these nine parts. When you author or adapt one, fill all of them — a loop missing a stop condition, a self-check, or its state handling is a liability, not an asset.
| Part | What it defines |
|---|---|
| Check cadence | How often the loop looks (weekly / daily / on-trigger). Match it to signal speed. |
| Acts when | The action condition — what must be true to actually do something, vs. just check and skip. Most runs of a good loop are "checked, nothing to do." |
| Purpose | The one outcome this loop exists to move. |
| Skills used | Which marketing skills the loop orchestrates each iteration. |
| Loop body | The ordered steps run each iteration. |
| Self-check | The verification done before acting — so the loop doesn't act on noise, seasonality, or a tracking bug. |
| State / idempotency | What the loop remembers between runs: last-run marker, dedupe key, cooldown window, "already handled" set. Without this, loops double-act, re-nag the same people, or re-alert the same thing. Non-negotiable for anything scheduled — see references/loop-state.md for where state lives and the idempotency patterns. |
| Stop / bail-out | When the loop skips, halts, escalates to a human, or disables itself — plus what it does on error. Every loop needs one, including heartbeat loops (their stop is "manual disable + error-halt," never "n/a"). |
| Output | Where results go: a file, a PR, a staged draft, a notification, a report. |
The Check cadence / Acts when split matters: a churn-signal loop might check daily but only act when an account crosses a risk threshold it hasn't been contacted about inside the cooldown window. Conflating the two produces loops that either miss the window or spam.
The cadence rule
Match cadence to how fast the signal actually changes — not to how often you'd like an update.
| Signal | Realistic cadence | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Rankings, backlinks, domain authority | Weekly | Move slowly; daily checks are noise |
| Ad creative fatigue, CPA drift | Every 2–3 days | Meta/Google feedback loops are days, not hours |
| Activation / onboarding funnel | Weekly | Needs enough signups to be significant |
| Churn signals | Daily or on-trigger | Early intervention window is short |
| Content / copy decay | Monthly | Traffic erosion is gradual |
| Competitor changes | Weekly | Pricing/positioning shifts are infrequent but matter |
| Social listening / mentions | Daily | Engagement windows close fast |
Over-frequent loops are the most common failure mode: they generate busywork, burn budget, and train you to ignore the output.
When NOT to loop
Not everything should be automated on a cadence. Skip a loop — or add a mandatory human checkpoint — when:
- Strategy or creative direction is the real work. Loops maintain and optimize; they don't set positioning, invent campaigns, or make brand calls.
- The action publishes or spends without review. Auto-drafting an ad, email, or post is fine. Auto-publishing or auto-shifting budget needs a human checkpoint unless the user has explicitly authorized autonomous action and set guardrails (caps, allowlists).
- The signal is too sparse to be significant. A weekly conversion-rate loop on 40 visitors/week is measuring noise.
- It's a vanity loop. If nobody acts on the output, delete the loop. A loop that emails a dashboard nobody reads is worse than nothing.
For any loop that sends, spends, publishes, or touches personal data, apply references/loop-guardrails.md — the two-tier action model (autonomous-safe vs. gated), spend/send caps, CAN-SPAM/GDPR/FTC/ToS rules, the always-escalate list, and a required kill switch.
Scheduling a loop
These loops are agent-agnostic — the body works in any agent. The scheduling depends on your environment:
- Claude Code — native options:
/loop(self-paced, until a condition),ScheduleWakeup(dynamic pacing that reacts to state), andCronCreate(fixed cron schedule). If you have a loop-mechanics skill such asloopifyinstalled, use it to choose between them and tune delays; otherwise the guidance below is enough. - Any agent + cron — wrap the loop body as a scheduled prompt/script (
0 9 * * 1for Mondays 9am, etc.). - Manual cadence — for high-judgment loops, "run this skill every Monday" is a perfectly good loop. The value is the repeatable body, not the automation.
Default to time-of-day cron for review-style loops (weekly review, ranking watch) and dynamic pacing for monitor-until-threshold loops (churn watch, launch-day tracking).
The Catalog
references/loop-catalog.md holds the full library — 58 marketing loops with thorough funnel coverage: SEO & Content, Paid, Earned/Social/Partnerships, Outbound, Activation, Retention, Revenue, Referral & Advocacy, and Ongoing Ops. Each is a complete, adaptable spec. Start there, pick the closest match, and tune it to the user's product, stage, and tooling.
Running a whole channel: the SEO operator
When the user wants an agent to own SEO for a site rather than run one loop, use references/seo-operator.md. It bundles the SEO loops (site health, claim drift, striking-distance push, AI-answer check, keyword gap, content decay, competitor watch, and more) into one schedule with shared memory in .agents/seo/, a first-run checklist, operating rules, a writing gate, and a one-screen weekly report.
Running outbound: the outbound operator
For an agent running day-to-day outbound (signal sweeps, staged outreach, reply triage, sending-domain health, weekly sequence retros), use references/outbound-operator.md. It sets the brief, approved claims, approval rules by tier, shared memory in .agents/outbound/, and a weekly report.
Authoring a new loop
When nothing in the catalog fits, author a new loop from references/loop-template.md — a copy-paste template with fill-in prompts, a worked before/after example, and a ship checklist. Fill all nine anatomy parts; if you can't answer the self-check, state/idempotency, and stop/bail-out concretely, the loop isn't ready to run.
Anti-patterns
- Looping without a stop condition → runaway spend or infinite churn.
- Same cadence for every loop → most run too often and get ignored.
- No self-check → the loop acts on noise, seasonality, or a tracking bug.
- No human checkpoint on spend/publish actions.
- Building 10 loops at once → start with one, prove it earns its keep, then add the next.
Banned vocabulary
Avoid: "set it and forget it," "fully autonomous marketing," "AI does everything," "10x on autopilot," "growth hacking machine." Loops are disciplined systems with checkpoints, not magic. Describe them honestly.

This markets on Reddit the honest way: contribute value, disclose who you are, never astroturf. Distilled from the playbook behind doany.ai's Reddit agent. Triggers on "find reddit opportunities", "reddit marketing", "reddit automation", "reply on reddit for my product", "reddit community engagement", "reddit lead gen", or any ask to turn Reddit threads into genuine, disclosed marketing replies.
