Ralph Autonomous Coding Loop

About

The Ralph Playbook skill implements an autonomous coding system inspired by Geoffrey Huntley's methodology. It guides users through a structured three-phase workflow—Requirements, Planning, and Building—using a persistent loop mechanism. By maintaining state in a dedicated implementation plan and utilizing 'backpressure' through automated tests and builds, Ralph handles complex coding tasks iteratively. This approach ensures context is managed efficiently by focusing on one task per loop iteration, while providing progress visibility through automatic git commits.
