Ralph Loop Mechanics

How It Works

  1. Start: User runs /majestic-ralph:start "<prompt>" --max-iterations N --completion-promise "WORD"
  2. Loop: Stop hook intercepts session exit, re-feeds same prompt
  3. Exit: Output <promise>WORD</promise> to signal genuine completion

State File

Location: .claude/ralph-loop.local.yml

iteration: 1
max_iterations: 50
completion_promise: DONE
started_at: 2024-01-15T10:30:00Z
prompt: |
  Your prompt here.
  Can be multiline.

Completion Signal

Output exactly: <promise>YOUR_PHRASE</promise>

  • Only output when genuinely complete
  • Lying restarts the loop
  • Max iterations is a hard stop

Safety Rules

Rule Reason
Idempotent operations Migrations with IF NOT EXISTS, etc.
Non-interactive commands No -i flags, no prompts
Clear exit criteria Vague goals loop forever

Monitoring

# Check iteration
grep '^iteration:' .claude/ralph-loop.local.yml

# Cancel loop
/majestic-ralph:cancel
