SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Detects Ralph Loop completion beyond <promise>DONE</promise> tag to ensure reliable task completion in automated workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • 4-Signal Detection: Evaluates test_loops, done_signals, completion_indicators, and fix_plan_check to decide true completion.
  • Activity Log Integration: Reads activity logs to distinguish test iterations from real runs.
  • Graceful Exit Guidance: Recommends emitting <promise>DONE</promise> when signals indicate completion.

Quick Start

Invoke the skill to verify a Ralph Loop's completion and emit <promise>DONE</promise> when the four signals indicate true completion.

FAQPage Schema
How do I verify automated workflow completion beyond a DONE signal tag?

To verify automated workflow completion beyond a DONE signal tag, you can evaluate test loops, done signals, completion indicators, and fix plan checks using 4-signal detection. This ensures true task completion before emitting a final exit signal.

What is 4-signal detection for workflow verification in automation?

4-signal detection for workflow verification evaluates test_loops, done_signals, completion_indicators, and fix_plan_check to determine true completion. It prevents false exits in automated scripts by validating multiple completion criteria simultaneously.

How do I detect Ralph Loop completion using activity logs?

To detect Ralph Loop completion using activity logs, the system reads activity logs to distinguish test iterations from real runs. This activity log integration validates whether the process has genuinely finished its automated workflow.

Does graceful exit verification work with AI agents and orchestrated processes?

Graceful exit verification works with AI agents, scripts, and orchestrated processes. It applies to automation tasks and workflow monitoring by satisfying requirements for 4-signal detection and activity-log validation across various automated environments.

Why does my automation task emit a DONE tag before the workflow is actually complete?

An automation task may emit a DONE tag early because it relies solely on a single completion indicator. Applying 4-signal detection validates activity logs and optional fix-plan verification to ensure all conditions indicate true completion before emitting an exit signal.

When should I not rely on a single DONE tag for automated task completion?

You should not rely on a single DONE tag for automated task completion when your workflow involves complex test iterations or fix plans. Using multi-signal detection prevents premature exits by verifying activity logs and completion indicators together.
