Skill instructions
/mcs-iterate — Autonomous MCS Build → Eval → Fix Loop (Layer B) Single command for fully-autonomous MCS agent shipping. Runs the full Build-Guides flow without manual phase transitions: build the agent, run evals, classify failures, apply fixes, re-eval, loop until SHIP or hard cap. This is the Layer B counterpart to /iterate. It does NOT touch Layer A code (frontend/backend/framework). It only iterates on the MCS agent state via the existing /mcs- skills, reusing the iterate-orchestrator's audit + verdict primitives where appropriate. When to fire - User typed /mcs-iterate {projectId} {agentId}. - User said "ship the agent", "iterate to SHIP", "build, eval, fix until ready". - After /mcs-research produced a complete agentspec.json and the user wants the agent shipped autonomously. - To resume a partial build where agentspec.json.buildStatus shows incomplete steps and evalConfig.lastVerdict is BLOCK or ITERATE. When NOT to fire - The agentspec.json is incomplete — run /mcs-research fir
