Setup Ralph Loop

Create the local scripts and repo conventions needed to run Ralph safely.

Invocation Position

This is an infrastructure skill, not a normal feature-delivery stage.

Use /setup-ralph-loop when a project wants to run /execute in a repeatable HITL-to-AFK loop.

Auto-invocation: /execute automatically invokes this skill when it detects multi-slice GitHub-issue work (PRD, big-batch appetite, or multiple user stories) and no ralph-once.sh or ralph.sh exists in the repo root. This means the skill may be entered without the user explicitly calling it — the detection and invocation happen as a prerequisite step inside /execute.

Do not use it as part of the default feature pipeline. It prepares the repo so later /execute execution can run under Ralph with bounded iterations, explicit feedback loops, and durable GitHub-backed state.
