Overview
dse-loop is an open-source data skill for Claude Code and compatible agents, published by wanshuiyin. Its author describes it as: “Autonomous design space exploration loop for computer architecture and EDA. Runs a program, analyzes results, tunes parameters, and iterates until objective is met or timeout. Use when user says "DSE", "design space e…”. The project has 15k stars on GitHub and is available under the MIT license. Add it to your setup with `git clone https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep ~/.claude/skills/dse-loop`.
What dse-loop does
> 🔁 **Do not wrap this skill in `/loop` / `CronCreate`.** It already loops > internally until its objective is met or it times out. Unlike the > verdict-bearing review/audit skills, its stop gate is an **objective > machine-checkable metric** (Type-A), so its self-termination is safe > same-model — the reason not to wrap it is **scheduler duplication**, not the > verdict fence. See > `shared-references/external-cadence.md`.

Installation
Add dse-loop to your agent with:
git clone https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep ~/.claude/skills/dse-loopReview a skill’s source before installing it — skills can instruct your agent to run commands. This command comes from the skill’s public repository, which is the source of truth for setup steps. New to skills? Read how to install Claude Code skills.

Frequently asked questions
- What does dse-loop do?
- Autonomous design space exploration loop for computer architecture and EDA. Runs a program, analyzes results, tunes parameters, and iterates until objective is met or timeout. Use when user says "DSE", "design space exploration", "sweep parameters", "optimize", "find best config", or wants iterative parameter tuning.
- How do I install dse-loop?
- Run git clone https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep ~/.claude/skills/dse-loop in your agent, then reload your skills. Review the source at https://github.com/wanshuiyin/Auto-claude-code-research-in-sleep before installing.
