Attach to a running agent loop's live output stream.

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

# Al Attach

Attach to a running external agent loop and tail its output log in real time. Press Ctrl+C to detach without interrupting the loop.

## Natural Language Triggers

Users may say:
- "ralph attach"
- "attach to ralph"
- "follow ralph"
- "watch ralph output"
- "tail the agent loop"
- "stream ralph progress"

## Parameters

### --loop-id (optional)
The ID of the loop to attach to. If omitted, attaches to the most recently started active loop.

```
/ralph-attach --loop-id abc123
```

When multiple loops are active, you must specify `--loop-id`. Run `/ralph-status` first to list active loop IDs.

## Behavior

When triggered:

1. Read `.aiwg/ralph-external/loops/` to find active loop state files
2. If `--loop-id` is not provided, select the loop with the most recent `startedAt` timestamp that has `status: "running"`
3. If no active loop is found, report clearly and exit
4. If multiple loops are active and no `--loop-id` is given, list them and prompt the user to specify
5. Resolve the loop's `logFile` path from its state JSON (typically `.aiwg/ralph-external/logs/<loop-id>.log`)
6. Begin reading the log file from the current end, streaming new lines as they are appended
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add jmagly/aiwg/ralph-attach@sha256:ee0fa5387f42e5a5

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260913.7be8bcf, 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.
