ralph-loop SKILL.md skillA
ralph-loop from gastonchevarria/god-mode is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Executes autonomous task loops using disk state, backpressure, and isolated contexts based on the Ralph Loop methodology. Use when the user asks to run a Ralph loop, autonomous task loop, or implement features from specs autonomously.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# Ralph Loop: Autonomous AI Task Loops You are now executing tasks using the **Ralph Loop** methodology. The core philosophy is: **state lives on disk, not in the model's context**. Each iteration focuses on a single task, writes results back to disk, validates against backpressure, and commits. ## Core Principles 1. **Disk as Shared State**: `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md` persists between iterations and acts as the coordination mechanism. 2. **Backpressure Steers Quality**: Tests, builds, and lints reject bad work. You MUST fix issues before committing or moving to the next task. 3. **No Assumptions**: Search the codebase before implementing; don't assume functionality is missing. 4. **Complete Implementations**: No placeholders or stubs. ## Expected Project Structure Expect to read or create the following files in the workspace: - `PROMPT_plan.md` / `PROMPT_build.md`: Mode-specific instructions. - `AGENTS.md`: Operational guide containing build and validation commands. - `IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md`: The prioritized task list. - `specs/`: Directory containing requirement specs. --- ## Operating Modes ### 1. PLANNING MODE (Gap Analysis) When asked to run in Planning Mode: …

How to install
mdr add gastonchevarria/god-mode/ralph-loop@sha256:a4609f4af41fdf90The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260926.941aa31, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
