FAQPage Schema
How do I automate Ralph loop setup and maintenance across multiple repositories?

Ralph loop setup is automated by installing tooling templates into .claude, configuring plans, progress tracking, guardrails, scripts, and templates to ensure reproducible state across diverse repositories.

What are Ralph loops and when do I need to configure them at the project level?

Ralph loops are iterative automation cycles requiring project-level configuration of hooks, plans, and context files to support fresh-context and same-session iterations for repeatable testing workflows.

How do I install Ralph loop hooks and scripts for fresh-context and same-session iterations?

Install Ralph loops by running the guided setup command, which deploys start and cancel commands, guardrails, and updated hooks into the .claude directory to support both iteration modes.

Do I need git and node installed to configure Ralph loop infrastructure in my project?

Yes, configuring Ralph loop infrastructure requires jq, git, claude, pnpm, node, playwright, and bash dependencies to be installed in your environment before running the automated setup process.

Why are my Ralph loop hooks not working correctly after updating project configurations?

Ralph loop hooks fail when scripts, plans, or context files become misaligned across repositories; the skill automates troubleshooting by reapplying guardrails and templates to restore reproducible loop behavior.

What's the best way to manage Ralph loop plans and progress tracking for ongoing iterations?

Manage Ralph loop plans and progress by using the automated setup skill to configure templates and scripts in .claude, ensuring reproducible state and guided maintenance for repeatable iterations.
