About
Ralph is a streamlined agentic harness for Claude Code designed to handle long-running tasks through a simple but effective 'read-try-commit-repeat' cycle. Unlike complex orchestrators, Ralph focuses on persistent iteration, allowing Claude to work toward a defined goal file until the objective is achieved or a time budget expires. It features automatic progress summarization to maintain context over many iterations, state persistence for resuming interrupted tasks, and configurable reasoning levels to balance cost and performance. Ralph is particularly useful for exploratory refactoring, large feature implementations, and tasks where the implementation path isn't immediately obvious.
