ralph

Structured loops for AI coding agents. Plan → Task → Build → Commit → Repeat.

Install

git clone https://github.com/carmandale/ralph-loop
cd ralph-loop && ./install.sh

Pi Hook (File Tracking)

ralph uses a Pi hook to track edits per task.

./install.sh
# Manual: cp pi-integration/hook/ralph-file-tracker.ts ~/.pi/agent/hooks/

Verify tracking:

ralph tracked

Note: the hook is shipped as .ts. If your Pi setup requires .js, compile and place the .js file in ~/.pi/agent/hooks/.

Quick Start

ralph init "Add user authentication"   # Create plan
$EDITOR .ralph/plans/*.md              # Add your tasks
ralph next                              # Start first task
# ... Pi works ...
ralph done                              # Build, commit, next

Commands

Command What
init "desc" Create plan
next Launch Pi with task context
done Build → Commit → Mark complete
stuck Get help (Oracle / codex review)
yolo Full auto, no prompts
review Run codex review
status Show progress
list Show all plans with progress
switch [n] Switch to different plan
note "msg" Add note to plan

The Loop

ralph next
    ↓
Pi works on ONE task
    ↓
ctrl-c when done
    ↓
"Done?" → Build passes → Commit → Next task
    ↓
Repeat until plan complete

Config

.ralph/config:

# Verification commands (run in order, all optional)
build=gj build ms
typecheck=npm run typecheck
test=npm test
lint=npm run lint

[reminders]
⚠️ Use gj tools, not xcodebuild
📅 Xcode 26, January 2026
  • Verification commands run after each task (build → typecheck → test → lint)
  • Reminders appear in every Pi prompt under "PROJECT RULES"

Progress Memory

.ralph/progress.txt is your LLM's memory across context windows:

  • Created automatically on ralph init
  • LLM appends learnings after each task
  • Read at start of each task for continuity
  • Never overwritten, only appended

YOLO Mode

ralph yolo
# Type "yolo" to confirm
# Runs all tasks non-interactively
# Auto-commits each task
# Codex review at end

Why It Works

  1. Re-read plan every task - No drift
  2. One task at a time - No scope creep
  3. Build gate - Must build to proceed
  4. Commit per task - Easy rollback
  5. Help when stuck - Oracle or review
