Ported from oh-my-codex ralph. OMX runtime conventions ($macro invocation, omx CLI, .omx/ state directory) are replaced with WorkBuddy idioms (Skill tool, Agent tool, task list, .workbuddy/memory).

Ralph

Ralph is a persistence loop that keeps working on a task until it is fully complete and architect-verified. It wraps parallel execution with session persistence, automatic retry on failure, and mandatory verification before completion.

Use When

• Task requires guaranteed completion with verification (not just "do your best").
• User says "ralph", "don't stop", "must complete", "finish this", "keep going until done".
• Work may span multiple iterations and needs persistence across retries.
• Task benefits from parallel execution with architect sign-off at the end.

Do Not Use When

• User wants a full autonomous pipeline from idea to code — use the pipeline/autopilot path.
• User wants to explore or plan first — use plan.
• User wants a quick one-shot fix — delegate directly to an executor Agent.
• User wants manual control over completion — execute directly.
