PRD Quality is Key
Ralph Loop will only perform exceptionally well if the plan in your `prd.md` is solid. If your plan is weak, the resulting code output will also be problematic.
Automated Workflow Cycle
Ralph Loop operates non-stop. It builds the first feature, writes tests, and runs lints. It will only move to the second feature once all tests for the first one have passed.
Time-Saving Tips
You can leave your computer once the loop starts. The agent will continue working, updating the progress file and generating code without requiring human intervention.

Claude Code
I want to run this Ralph loop [Insert GitHub Link Here]. Please tell me exactly what to do to set this up in my current directory.
Step by Step
How to Setup Ralph Loop with Claude Code
- Prepare a new project directory on your computer.
- Create a document named `prd.md` containing a complete and detailed feature development plan.
- Create an empty text file named `progress.txt` for the agent to record its workflow status.
- Open your terminal and access the Claude Code agent.
- Copy the Ralph Loop GitHub repository URL and paste it into Claude Code.
- Instruct Claude Code: 'I want to run this Ralph loop' based on the provided URL.
- Follow the configuration instructions displayed by Claude Code until the script is ready to run.
- Run the Ralph Loop script via the Claude Code command line.
- Monitor the `progress.txt` file and any newly auto-generated files to track development progress.
