ralph-loop

This is a Codex-oriented ralph-loop command with two execution engines.

Engine model

Keeps the same command name: ralph-loop.
Keeps the same default state file format: .claude/ralph-loop.local.md.
Default compat engine keeps local-state semantics and manual --next.
Optional open engine delegates to external open-ralph-wiggum CLI for auto-iteration.

Script

Script path: scripts/ralph-loop.ps1

Usage

$codexHome = if ($env:CODEX_HOME) { $env:CODEX_HOME } else { Join-Path $HOME '.codex' }
$script = Join-Path $codexHome 'skills/ralph-loop/scripts/ralph-loop.ps1'

# Start a local compat loop
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $script Build a todo API --max-iterations 20 --completion-promise DONE

# Move to the next iteration manually
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $script --next

# Show current loop state
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $script --status

# Force restart with a new prompt
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $script New prompt --max-iterations 10 --force

# Use open-ralph-wiggum backend (auto loop, defaults to --agent codex and --no-commit)
powershell -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File $script --engine open Build a todo API --max-iterations 20 --completion-promise DONE

Vibe compatibility

Safe in /vibe routed sessions as a direct execution tool.
Does not force multi-agent orchestration.
Keeps command names stable for unified memory and invocation.
open engine remains mutually exclusive with active XL team orchestration.

Notes

Compat mode: if max_iterations is reached, the local state file is removed automatically.
Compat mode: completion promises are tracked in local state.
Open mode: --next, --force, --state-file, --stop are not available (managed by external ralph CLI semantics).
