Ralph Loop

Some work does not come right on the first attempt, and sitting there restarting the assistant yourself gets old quickly. Ralph Loop catches the moment a session ends and feeds your original request straight back in, keeping every file change and the record of earlier attempts. Claude reads what it already tried, sees which checks failed, and goes again. It stops when it reports the finish word you picked, or when it reaches the number of attempts you allowed.

Work where you can say plainly what finished looks like and something can check it for you automatically. The loop needs a finish line it can recognize, so open ended tasks are a poor fit.

1. Install it with the command below.
2. Inside Claude Code, type /ralph-loop followed by your request. Add --max-iterations 10 to cap the attempts at ten, and --completion-promise DONE to set the finish word.
3. Leave it to work. Stop it early at any point with /cancel-ralph.
