Ralph Loop

This is autonomous loop mode for Claude Code that keeps running the same prompt until your task is done. You set up a state file with clear completion criteria (usually a TODO.md checklist), and it iterates until it hits ALL_TASKS_COMPLETE or your max iteration cap. Named after Ralph Wiggum because it never stops despite confusion. Best for well-defined work like migrations, refactoring, or getting tests to pass. Not for exploratory work where you need judgment calls. The state file tracks iterations and you get checkpoint reminders every 5 loops to review progress. Basically supervised autonomy: you can let it run overnight on clear tasks, but you're meant to check in periodically. Includes safety caps and git tracking so nothing goes off the rails permanently.
