The short version

How a change travels

Someone asks for a change. Before anything moves, Loom measures it and checks it against rules you wrote. Then it writes down what happened, every time, whether the change went through or not.

End to end

Five steps, every time

  1. 1

    Someone asks for something

    They ask in their own words, about one page. Nothing has moved yet.

  2. 2

    The AI writes down what it wants to change

    The model does not write code. It sends back an exact list: add this, remove that, move the other, change a setting.

  3. 3

    The change is measured

    Loom measures how much of the page it moves, what it touches, and whether it can be taken back cleanly.

  4. 4

    Your rules decide

    You get one of three answers: do it, hold it for a person to review, or reject it. Loom tells you which of your rules decided.

  5. 5

    What happened is written down

    Loom records who asked, what moved, and the change that puts it back. Nothing is overwritten.

Who is asking

The same request can get a different answer

Your rules can tell the difference between you, a colleague, a visitor and the page reacting on its own. The same words from a stranger and from you do not have to mean the same thing.

See it happen

Ask this page to rearrange itself

Everything above and below this band is a piece the page can be asked to move. Pick one, watch what happens, and read what the page wrote down about it.

What did you come here for?

Each one is a real request, checked against the rules this site runs under, exactly as it would be on a page of yours.

This site protects three things from being taken away: what it says it is for, the menu and the links at the bottom. Of the five above, three go through on their own, one stops and asks you first, and one is refused outright. The two that do not just go through are the ones worth watching.

You said yes

What the page wrote down

  1. 1

    You asked for something

    “I am in a hurry. Cut this down to the essentials.”

  2. 2

    The change was worked out

    This takes away all four short answers at once, with their headings and every word under them. That is enough of the page in one go that your rules stop and ask a person first. Everything it would remove is carried in the change that reverses it, so putting it back restores each answer word for word.

  3. 3

    The change was measured

    40 pieces taken away, in 4 steps. Weighed as heavy. It takes a lot off the page at once. It reaches across a lot of the page. It changes the shape of the page rather than the wording inside it.

  4. 4

    Your rules decided

    This weighs more than your rules let a request through on its own, so it waits for a person to say yes. You said yes, so it went through. The record also says your rules stopped it first. Decided by the set of rules this site calls “front-door”.

  5. 5

    Putting it back

    The change that reverses this was written at the same time. It is 4 steps, and it carries 40 pieces. Putting it back restores every word rather than writing them out again.

This change was worked out from the page itself rather than asked of an AI, which is why it is so sure of itself. Your rules do not treat the two differently: they weigh the change, never who wrote it.

These five are prepared, so the whole sequence runs here without calling an AI model. To ask for something in your own words, try the demo. It is a page you can type into.

That is the short version

This page is the short version on purpose. The documentation has the long one: what a rule can say, what the record holds field by field, and how to wire it into a page you already have.
