What problem does it solve?

The Ralph Loop Skill solves the problem of manually managing iterative development with Test-Driven Development (TDD), providing an automated solution that reduces the time and effort spent on repetitive tasks.

Core Features & Use Cases

Automated TDD Loops: Automates the process of setting up and maintaining TDD loops for iterative development.
Verification Feedback: Integrates verification commands to ensure code quality and task completion.
Branch Management: Handles branching for different tasks and scenarios, with options for both fresh-context and same-session modes.
Task Tracking: Tracks task progress and status through prd.json and progress.txt files.
Use Case: Use this Skill to automatically set up TDD loops for new projects, update hooks based on best practices, or troubleshoot loop behavior.

Quick Start

Set up and run a fresh-context Ralph loop on a project by running: /ralph-loop

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate TDD loops for continuous integration?▼

Automating TDD loops for continuous integration requires setting up iterative development cycles with automated verification. This Skill configures those loops using a verification command and tracking files to reduce manual effort and ensure code quality.

What is automated iterative development with verification feedback?▼

Automated iterative development with verification feedback is a process where test-driven development cycles run continuously, checking code against verification commands. This Skill manages that loop, tracking progress through configuration files to maintain quality.

How do I set up branch management for automated test-driven development?▼

Setting up branch management for automated TDD involves configuring branching for different tasks. This Skill handles both fresh-context and same-session modes, using configuration files to track branch status and task progress automatically.

Do I need a verification command to run automated TDD iterations?▼

Yes, a verification command is required to run automated TDD iterations. The Skill uses this command to ensure code quality and task completion during the development loop, along with configuration files for task tracking and branch management.

What's the best way to track task progress in an iterative development loop?▼

Tracking task progress in an iterative development loop is handled through prd.json and progress.txt files. This Skill automatically maintains these files, updating task status and progress as the TDD cycle executes.

Can I use automated TDD loops for new software engineering projects?▼

Yes, you can use automated TDD loops for new software engineering projects. The Skill sets up fresh-context loops, applying test-driven development practices with automated verification to ensure quality from the start.
