SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ralph implements a persistence loop that continues working on a task until it is fully complete and architect-verified, preventing partial results and silent failures.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Parallel delegation of subtasks across appropriate agent tiers with automatic retry on failure.
  • Session-persistent progress across iterations and long-running tasks, with formal verification before completion.
  • Architect review gating to ensure quality and alignment before declaring a task finished.

Quick Start

Start Ralph with your task slug and goal, and let it persist across iterations until a fresh architect-verified completion is reached.

Frequently Asked Questions about ralph

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce architect verification before a multi-step task is marked complete?

To enforce architect verification before completion, you need a persistence loop that gates final task declaration behind a fresh architect review. This mechanism prevents partial results by requiring strict end-state validation after all iterations finish.

What is the best way to run long-running automation tasks with automatic retry on failure?

The best way to run long-running automation tasks is to use a persistence loop that supports background execution for long steps and automatic retry on failure. This ensures deterministic progress across iterations without silent failures.

How does parallel delegation work for subtasks that span multiple iterations?

Parallel delegation for subtasks spanning multiple iterations works by distributing tasks across appropriate agent tiers within a persistence loop. The loop maintains session-persistent progress, ensuring that delegated subtasks are tracked and retried until fully resolved.

How do I prevent silent failures in automated task execution loops?

To prevent silent failures in automated task execution loops, implement a system that enforces deterministic progress and formal verification before completion. This approach catches incomplete subtasks by requiring a fresh validation pass at the end state.

Can I use a task-persistence loop for multi-step tasks requiring strict end-state validation?

Yes, a task-persistence loop is designed specifically for multi-step tasks requiring strict end-state validation. It continues executing across iterations and applies formal architect review gating to guarantee that the final output meets all quality requirements.

When should I not use an iteration loop with architect sign-off for task delegation?

You should not use an iteration loop with architect sign-off for simple, single-step tasks that do not require parallel delegation or strict end-state validation. The overhead of session persistence and formal review gates is intended for complex, long-running workflows.
