What is the difference between Ralph Loop and Ralph Planner?

Ralph Loop handles the technical execution and looping of scripts, while Ralph Planner is used to create and update the TASKS.md files that guide Claude's objectives.

Can I customize which Claude model is used in the loop?

Yes, the scripts support parameters to specify models such as Claude 3.5 Sonnet, Claude 3 Opus, or Claude 3 Haiku.

Do I need to install PowerShell to use this skill?

Yes, this skill requires PowerShell Core (pwsh). It can be installed via Homebrew on macOS, the Microsoft Store on Windows, or Snap on Linux.

How do I stop an autonomous loop once it has started?

You can safely stop the execution loop at any time by pressing Ctrl+C in your terminal.

What is the Ralph Wiggum technique for Claude?

It is a method of running Claude in a continuous loop by spawning fresh sessions for each iteration, which helps maintain high context quality and prevents performance degradation over long-running tasks.

Productivity & Workflow

Deploys cross-platform PowerShell scripts to enable continuous, autonomous Claude execution loops using the Ralph Wiggum technique.

About

Ralph Loop is a productivity-focused skill designed to facilitate long-running autonomous operations with Claude. By deploying a set of specialized PowerShell Core scripts, it allows users to run Claude in a continuous loop, spawning fresh sessions to maintain high context quality and avoid the performance degradation common in long conversations. It includes tools for single execution, continuous loops, and output visualization, providing a robust framework for complex, multi-step AI tasks when paired with structured task management.
