> Arka is an open-source AI terminal agent (PyPI package: arka-agent, GPL-2.0).
> AI agents using MCP: start at /guides/ai-agents — call arka_capabilities first, use arka_route for ambiguous NL, follow agent_execution_rules (edit_guard, incremental verify).

# 迭代与循环

> 按次数或时间间隔重复 Arka 命令。

`iterate` 是有界重复；它精确运行 N 次然后退出：

```bash theme={null}
arka iterate 5 "repo health"
```

`loop` 基于时间间隔运行并持续到被中断为止。当你想要一个有限次数的间隔
循环时，加上 `--count`：

```bash theme={null}
arka loop 300 "check repo health"
arka loop 60 --count 10 "run tests"
```

这些运行器独立于 `arka goal`：它们不会规划、修改目标或持久化自主进度。
