SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Autonomous Ralph Wiggum Loop orchestrates iterative task execution with fresh context per cycle, using the filesystem as memory and git for an auditable, versioned trail.

Core Features & Use Cases

Fresh-context iterations with isolated state
Filesystem-backed memory and git-based versioning for reproducibility
Progress tracking via PRD.md and PROGRESS.md across tasks

Quick Start

Run /ralph-loop with a task description to start the iterative task loop.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate iterative coding tasks while preserving isolated state between steps?▼

Automating iterative coding tasks with isolated state requires executing each cycle with fresh context, using the filesystem as memory and git for versioning to maintain an auditable trail.

What is the best way to track autonomous task execution progress across multiple steps?▼

Tracking autonomous task execution progress is done by coordinating PRD.md and PROGRESS.md as filesystem state, ensuring reproducibility and a clear history across all iterations without external memory.

Can I use filesystem memory and git versioning for long-running automation tasks?▼

Filesystem memory and git versioning support long-running automation tasks by performing per-task commits, preserving isolation between steps, and providing an auditable history for reproducibility.

How do I start an autonomous task loop with a specific task description?▼

Starting an autonomous task loop involves running the loop command with a task description to initiate iterative execution, automatically managing progress tracking and completion promises.

Does autonomous task execution work without external memory dependencies?▼

Autonomous task execution works without external memory by relying entirely on the filesystem as its memory store and using git commits to maintain state and versioning across iterations.

When should I avoid using fresh-context iterations for task automation?▼

Fresh-context iterations should be avoided for simple, single-step tasks where the overhead of filesystem state management and per-task git commits provides no reproducibility or auditing benefit.
