ralph-wiggum-codex
Use when a coding task needs an objective-first long-running loop with fresh-context work and review phases, explicit acceptance criteria, resumable state, and real blocked handling.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ralph-wiggum-codex --agent codex
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, cursor, copilot.

# Ralph Wiggum For Codex Codex-native Ralph loop for long-running autonomous task completion. This skill is designed to be invoked as `$ralph-wiggum-codex`. The shell runner is support infrastructure for the skill, not the product story. ## When To Use Use this skill when: - The task is too large or uncertain for a single turn. - You want the agent centered on the user request and acceptance criteria, not just test output. - You want a mandatory work phase followed by a fresh-context review phase. - You need resumable state, explicit blocked handling, and long-run drift control. Do not use this skill when: - The request is a quick one-shot edit or explanation. - The user wants manual turn-by-turn control. - The task is mostly a prompt rewrite, not execution. Use `$ralph-prompt-generator` first in that case. ## Optional Prompt Generator When the request is underspecified, invoke `$ralph-prompt-generator` first to turn it into a Ralph-ready prompt file. Use the companion first when: - The objective is fuzzy. - Acceptance criteria are missing. - Source-of-truth artifacts are unclear. - You want review checkpoints before starting the long run. Companion handoff pattern: 1. Run `$ralph-

What does the ralph-wiggum-codex skill do?
Use when a coding task needs an objective-first long-running loop with fresh-context work and review phases, explicit acceptance criteria, resumable state, and real blocked handling.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ralph-wiggum-codex --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.
