Ralph Wiggum Mode

"Me fail English? That's unpossible!" - Ralph Wiggum

Ralph Wiggum Mode is an autonomous AI coding loop that enables Claude Code to work continuously on tasks without human intervention. Named after the persistently optimistic Simpsons character, this technique lets Claude work "overnight shifts" while you sleep.

Key Principle

Progress persists in files and git, not in the LLM's context window.

When context fills up, the loop restarts Claude with fresh context. The new instance picks up from the filesystem state (your code, git history, and task tracking files).
