# PEV Loop

A PEV loop is a repeating agent pattern of planning a task, executing actions, and verifying the result before continuing.

## Why it matters

PEV commonly means plan, execute, verify, but the acronym is not standardized and other expansions exist. The useful pattern is to separate planning from action and require evidence-based verification before the agent continues or declares success.

## Example

An agent plans a data cleanup, executes changes in a test copy, verifies row counts and constraints, and only then requests approval for the production update.
