ralph-loop
Autonomous feature development loop. Executes complete 9-phase cycle (Interview -> Think Critically -> Plan -> Branch -> Implement -> Verify -> PR -> Merge -> Wrap-Up) with minimal human intervention. Triggers on "/ralph", "start autonomous loop", "run ralph loop".

Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Ralph Loop - Autonomous Feature Development Executes the complete Feature Development Cycle (9 phases) autonomously, only pausing for: - Human input during Interview (if spec.md is incomplete) - Think Critically: red flags or low confidence level - Merge approval (PR review) - 3 consecutive failures ## Triggers - `/ralph orchestrator [max_parallel]` - Start multi-feature orchestration - `/ralph feature FEAT-XXX [max_iterations]` - Single feature loop - `/ralph status` - Check running loops - `/ralph stop` - Stop all loops - "Start autonomous loop" - "Run ralph on FEAT-XXX" ## Architecture ``` RALPH LOOP ARCHITECTURE ORCHESTRATOR (ralph-orchestrator.sh) - Reads docs/features/_index.md for Pending features - Creates git worktrees for isolation - Launches feature loops in parallel (max N) - Monitors for merge completion - Cleans up worktrees after merge | +--> Worktree: ../project-FEAT-001-loop/ | --> ralph-feature.sh FEAT-001 | +--> Worktree: ../project-FEAT-002-loop/ | --> ralph-feature.sh FEAT-002 | +--> Worktree: ../project-FEAT-003-loop/ --> ralph-feature.sh FEAT-003 ``` ## Feature Loop Phases ``` FEATURE LOOP - 9 PHASES Iteration 1: INTERVIEW - Read spec.md - If Technical Deci

What does the ralph-loop skill do?
Autonomous feature development loop. Executes complete 9-phase cycle (Interview -> Think Critically -> Plan -> Branch -> Implement -> Verify -> PR -> Merge -> Wrap-Up) with minimal human intervention. Triggers on "/ralph", "start autonomous loop", "run ralph loop".
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ralph-loop-edumesones-azure-demo --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
