Activate autonomous Ralph Wiggum loop mode for iterative task completion. Use when you have a well-defined task with clear completion criteria that benefits from persistent, autonomous execution.
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 Wiggum Loop Mode Named after the Simpsons character who "never stops despite being confused," this technique runs Claude Code in a loop where the prompt stays the same but the codebase accumulates changes. Each iteration reads previous work and continues until completion. ## When to Use Ralph Mode **Ideal for:** - Well-defined implementation tasks with clear completion criteria - Refactoring or migration work (e.g., React v16 to v19) - Test-driven development cycles (run until tests pass) - Batch processing or repetitive tasks - Overnight autonomous work sessions **Not ideal for:** - Tasks requiring design decisions or human judgment - Exploratory work without clear end states - Tasks where requirements may change mid-execution - First-time implementations where you need to learn the code ## Activation Protocol ### Step 1: Validate Task Suitability Before activating, confirm: - [ ] Task has clear, measurable completion criteria - [ ] Success can be verified programmatically (tests, build, specific file state) - [ ] The work is in a git-tracked directory - [ ] You understand what success looks like ### Step 2: Create State File …

How to install
mdr add belumume/claude-skills/ralph-loop@sha256:7a19d229656ee2d0The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
