What problem does it solve?

Ralph provides a bounded loop pattern that coordinates a task execution with stateful iteration and machine-verifiable completion.

Core Features & Use Cases

Bounded iterations with per-iteration state logging and verification
Separation of execution and verification for safer autonomous or HITL workflows
Guardrails and recovery paths for repeatable, auditable outcomes
Suitable for tasks with a clear end state and machine-verifiable acceptance criteria

Quick Start

Run Ralph to wrap your AI tool in a bounded loop and iterate until verification passes.

FAQPage Schema

How do I set up a bounded loop for AI tasks with machine-verifiable completion?▼

A bounded loop wraps your AI tool execution with per-iteration state logging and a verification contract to iterate until success is proven. It separates execution from verification to ensure repeatable, auditable outcomes.

What is the best way to add guardrails to autonomous AI workflows?▼

Adding guardrails to autonomous workflows requires an execution and verification loop with explicit stop conditions and recovery paths. This pattern ensures safe HITL or AFK modes by validating progress against machine-verifiable acceptance criteria.

How do I verify progress and prove completion during complex AI refactoring?▼

To verify progress during complex refactoring, you implement a loop that records per-iteration state and uses a verification script to check acceptance criteria. This provides positive proof of success and an auditable log of the entire process.

Can I use a bounded iterative control loop for design reviews and data processing?▼

You can use a bounded iterative control loop for design reviews and complex data processing because it targets tasks with clear end states. It provides the explicit stop conditions and machine-verifiable acceptance criteria needed for these workflows.

When do I need explicit stop conditions and state logging for AI execution?▼

You need explicit stop conditions and state logging when running AI tasks that require auditable recovery paths and positive proof of completion. This is essential for autonomous or HITL workflows handling complex refactors and data processing.
