Ratchet Skill
Track progress through the RPI workflow with permanent gates.
Note: /ratchet tracks and locks progress. It does not “run the loop” by itself—pair it with /crank (epic loop) or /swarm (Ralph loop) to actually execute work.
The Brownian Ratchet
Progress = Chaos × Filter → Ratchet
| Phase | What Happens |
|---|---|
| Chaos | Multiple attempts (exploration, implementation) |
| Filter | Validation gates (tests, /vibe, review) |
| Ratchet | Lock progress permanently (merged, closed, stored) |
Key insight: Progress is permanent. You can't un-ratchet.
