ralph-wiggum skillA
ralph-wiggum is agent-read markdown (skill) from dicklesworthstone/pi_agent_rust: Long-running iterative development loops with pacing control and verifiable progress. Use when tasks require multiple iterations, many discrete steps, or periodic reflection with clear checkpoints; avoid for simple one-shot tasks or quick fixes..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# Ralph Wiggum - Long-Running Development Loops
Use the `ralph_start` tool to begin a loop:
```
ralph_start({
name: "loop-name",
taskContent: "# Task\n\n## Goals\n- Goal 1\n\n## Checklist\n- [ ] Item 1\n- [ ] Item 2",
maxIterations: 50, // Default: 50
itemsPerIteration: 3, // Optional: suggest N items per turn
reflectEvery: 10 // Optional: reflect every N iterations
})
```
## Loop Behavior
1. **Write the task file**: Create `.ralph/<name>.md` with the task content. The tool does NOT create this file—you must write it yourself using the Write tool.
2. Work on the task and update the file each iteration.
3. Record verification evidence (commands run, file paths, outputs) in the task file.
4. Call `ralph_done` to proceed to the next iteration.
5. Output `<promise>COMPLETE</promise>` when finished.
6. Stop when complete or when max iterations is reached (default 50).
## User Commands
- `/ralph start <name|path>` - Start a new loop.
- `/ralph resume <name>` - Resume loop.
- `/ralph stop` - Pause loop (when agent idle).
- `/ralph-stop` - Stop active loop (idle only).
- `/ralph status` - Show loops.
- `/ralph list --archived` - Show archived loops.

Either way the resolved hash is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install reproduces it on any machine.
