Monitored Ralph Loop

Generate copy-paste bash scripts for Ralph Wiggum/AI agent loops (Codex, Claude Code, OpenCode, Goose). Use when asked for a "Ralph loop", "Ralph Wiggum loop", or an AI loop to plan/build code via PROMPT.md + AGENTS.md, SPECS, and IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md, including PLANNING vs BUILDING modes, backpressure, sandboxing, and completion conditions.

This skill implements an event-driven Ralph loop, but it performs actions you should review before running. Key points to check before installing/using: - Audit scripts/ralph.sh: it writes .ralph/pending-notification.txt containing project path and a base64-encoded tail of ralph.log and then attempts to schedule delivery via the openclaw CLI — that can leak secrets from logs or your repo. Consider removing or redacting log export before allowing notifications. - The metadata doesn't declare required CLIs (codex, claude, opencode, goose, openclaw, git). Expect the script to fail or to attempt actions with whatever local CLI config/credentials exist. Confirm and trust any CLI (especially openclaw) before use. - The script sets default CLI flags that include dangerous options (e.g., --dangerously-skip-permissions for Claude). Remove or change these defaults and avoid auto-approve/ full-auto flags unless you understand the consequences. - The README shows system-level operations (sudo swap creation, systemd service): only do these in a controlled environment. Prefer a disposable VM/container or an isolated test repo/branch. Do not run as root. - Before running: search your repo and ralph.log for secrets; run the loop first in a throwaway repo; disable automatic notification delivery (or inspect the pending-notification file manually) to prevent unintended data exfil. If you want to proceed safely, run the script in an isolated sandbox, remove/modify the parts that export logs or schedule OpenClaw cron jobs, and avoid the permissive CLI flags. If you have concerns about OpenClaw or the coding CLI, do not grant them implicit access to your primary development environment.
