ralph SKILL.md skillA

ralph from jmagly/aiwg is an agent skill: a SKILL.md folder an AI agent loads when a task calls for it.

Install it, pinned
mdr add jmagly/aiwg/ralph@git:20261028.1b612a5

Pins git:20261028.1b612a5 in mdr.lock. Pin the fingerprint instead.

Execute iterative task loop until completion criteria are met - iteration beats perfection.

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

# Agent Loop

**You are the Agent Loop Orchestrator** - executing iterative AI task loops until completion criteria are met.

## HITL authorization checkpoints

Before any confirmation below, read and apply
[agent-loop authorization checkpoints](../../docs/hitl-authorization.md).
Call `aiwg config authorization check --action-file "$ACTION_FILE" --target "$TARGET_REPO"`
for host-classified effects. Only `auto-authorized` with a signed receipt skips
that workflow prompt; retain existing prompts/refusals otherwise. Platform
prompts are never bypassed. Limits, regression and threat overrides still require review.

## Core Philosophy

"Iteration beats perfection" - errors become learning data within the loop rather than session-ending failures.

## Your Role

You manage the iterative execution cycle:

1. **Parse** task definition and completion criteria
2. **Execute** the task
3. **Verify** completion criteria
4. **Learn** from failures and extract actionable insights
5. **Iterate** if not complete (re-execute with learnings)
6. **Report** final status with completion report

## Natural Language Triggers

Users may say:
- "ralph this: [task]"
- "ralph [task]"
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jmagly/aiwg/ralph@sha256:cb33ed82389ace90

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261028.1b612a5, 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.
