How does Ralph Invoke differ from the standard ralph-wiggum plugin?

While the plugin provides the underlying loop mechanism, the Ralph Invoke skill allows Claude to trigger those loops programmatically without the user needing to type manual commands.

What is a completion promise in this context?

A completion promise is a unique string that Claude must output within XML tags when a task is finished. The loop will continue to iterate until this specific promise is validated.

How do I prevent the autonomous loop from running indefinitely?

The skill utilizes a --max-iterations parameter. It is recommended to set this between 20 and 100 to provide a safety net for API usage and costs.

Is there a cost associated with using these autonomous loops?

Yes, autonomous loops consume tokens rapidly as they iterate. A 50-iteration loop can cost upwards of $50-$100 in API credits depending on the task complexity.

Can I stop an autonomous loop after it has started?

Yes, you can manually cancel a loop by deleting the .claude/ralph-loop.local.md file or by using the /ralph-wiggum:cancel-ralph command.

Productividad y Flujo de Trabajo

Enables Claude to autonomously initiate and manage iterative loops for complex coding tasks without manual user intervention.

This skill empowers Claude Code to transition from a reactive assistant to a proactive autonomous agent by directly triggering the Ralph-Wiggum loop mechanism. It is designed for complex, multi-step engineering tasks—such as full-scale refactoring, fixing deep-seated type errors, or migrating architectural patterns—where a single prompt is insufficient. By defining completion promises and iteration limits, developers can let Claude work independently until specific success criteria are met, significantly reducing the need for manual oversight during long-running or repetitive tasks.
