 Iterward is a deterministic control plane for agentic engineering workflows. It moves routing, retries, approvals, failures, and stop conditions out of prompts and into a loop file and code that you can test. Agents own execution, and Iterward owns protocol: a run moves only along the transitions its loop file declares, and Iterward records every human move.
 
+Iterward closes the loop around your agents. In a closed-loop agent workflow, each result decides the next step: a failed verification sends the work back to the builder, a gate holds the run until a human approves, and a limit parks the run after too many attempts. Iterward makes those decisions from the loop file, so your agents don't have to.

 ## Get started
 
 Iterward needs Node.js 22.18 or later and has no npm dependencies. To copy the default loop into your repository and start a run, run these commands from the repository root:

 ## Install
 
 Iterward needs Node.js 22.18 or later and has no npm dependencies. Install it as a development dependency of the repository your loop works on:
