From the README
Autonomous AI development loop with intelligent exit detection and rate limiting
Ralph is an implementation of the Geoffrey Huntley's technique for Claude Code that enables continuous autonomous development cycles he named after Ralph Wiggum. It enables continuous autonomous development cycles where Claude Code iteratively improves your project until completion, with built-in safeguards to prevent infinite loops and API overuse.
Install once, use everywhere - Ralph becomes a global command available in any directory.
