Every loop starts with a human and ends with a lesson
The Kite Loop replaces the sprint. When building takes hours instead of days, a fixed two-week sprint is too slow a feedback loop. Each work item therefore runs its own four-step loop, and planning becomes a continuous queue of Kite Briefs in priority order.
- Human
1. Frame
Write the Kite Brief and choose the zone.
- AI agents
2. Fly
Build, including variants. The Flight Log is recorded.
- Tail, then human
3. Check
Tests and evals first, then a human checks according to the zone.
- Team
4. Learn
A failure becomes a test, a guardrail or context.
What the loop learns strengthens the next Frame and the Tail.
Highlighted: steps where a human makes the call.
Three fixed rhythms around the loop
Three fixed rhythms surround the loop, so the human also holds the line at team level.
