LoopX, an MIT-licensed open-source project from developer huangruiteng, is a Python 3.11+ "state kernel" and local-first control plane for long-running AI coding agents. It stores durable objectives, gates, todos, claims/leases, evidence logs, quota and handoffs outside the agent runtime, so work can continue across turns with Codex App, Codex CLI, Claude Code, OpenCode, Pi, Cursor or a custom runner; the core tick exposes commands such as `loopx quota should-run`, `loopx todo claim` and `loopx refresh-state`. Installation is via a curl script with no runtime dependencies beyond the standard library. The repository documents showcases including a 200+ hour elapsed OpenViking contribution arc, a redacted Auto ML experiment, and a reproducible exact-KNN multi-agent research demo, and states it is not an autonomous production controller. The repo lists roughly 3.9k stars, 313 forks and 4,243 commits.
