+# EvaluationLoop Examples
+
+Examples demonstrating iterative evaluation and improvement patterns.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```bash
+pip install praisonaiagents
+export OPENAI_API_KEY=your-key
+```
+
+## Examples
+
+| File | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `basic_evaluation_loop.py` | Simple loop: Run → Judge → Improve |
+| `multi_step_task_loop.py` | Sequential tasks with context passing |
+| `recipe_optimization_loop.py` | CLI-based recipe optimization |
+
+## Pattern
+
+```
+┌─────────┐     ┌─────────┐     ┌──────────┐
+│  Agent  │ ──► │  Judge  │ ──► │ Feedback │
+│  runs   │     │ scores  │     │ improves │
+└─────────┘     └─────────┘     └──────────┘
+     ▲                               │
+     └───────────────────────────────┘
+           (repeat until 8.0+)
+```
+
+## Run Examples
+
+```bash
+# Basic loop
+python basic_evaluation_loop.py
+
+# Multi-step with context
+python multi_step_task_loop.py
+
+# CLI recipe loop
+python recipe_optimization_loop.py "research AI trends"

+    # Override with environment variable
+    # export PRAISONAI_HOME=/custom/path
+    # data_dir = get_data_dir()  # /custom/path/
+
+Backward Compatibility:
+    If ~/.praisonai/ doesn't exist but ~/.praison/ does, the legacy
