Ralph Loop

Autonomous development loop that continues working until all tasks are complete.

Workflow

When triggered, execute this loop:

┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
│                    RALPH LOOP                           │
├─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│  1. Check TodoWrite for pending tasks                   │
│  2. If no pending tasks → output "COMPLETE" and exit    │
│  3. Pick highest priority pending task                  │
│  4. Mark task as in_progress                            │
│  5. Execute the task                                    │
│  6. Mark task as completed                              │
│  7. Go to step 1                                        │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘

Exit Condition

Output exactly COMPLETE (on its own line) when:

• All tasks in the todo list are marked as completed
• No more pending tasks remain

Execution Rules

1. Task Priority: Process tasks in order (top to bottom)
2. One at a Time: Only one task should be in_progress at any moment
3. Immediate Update: Mark tasks completed immediately after finishing
4. No Skipping: Complete each task fully before moving to the next
5. Error Handling: If a task fails, log the error and continue to next task

Status Block

After each task completion, output a status block:

RALPH_STATUS:
  completed: <task description>
  remaining: <number of pending tasks>
  EXIT_SIGNAL: <true if no more tasks, false otherwise>

Example

User: 全部完成

Claude: [Invokes ralph-loop skill]

Checking todo list...
- [x] Task 1 (completed)
- [-] Task 2 (in_progress) ← Working on this
- [ ] Task 3 (pending)

RALPH_STATUS:
  completed: Task 2
  remaining: 1
  EXIT_SIGNAL: false

[Continues to Task 3...]

RALPH_STATUS:
  completed: Task 3
  remaining: 0
  EXIT_SIGNAL: true
