Ralph Loop Init Skill

Transform approved plans into executable ralph loop infrastructure.

What is Ralph Loop?

Ralph Loop is an autonomous execution system that runs Claude (or compatible tools) in a loop to complete multi-step implementation work. It transforms a PRD into:

1. prd.json - Machine-readable stories with progress tracking
2. loop.py - Python UV script that orchestrates iterations with rich output
3. CLAUDE.md - Per-iteration instructions for the AI
4. progress.txt - Human-readable execution log
5. guardrails.md - Quality gates and constraints

Each iteration: read one story, implement it, run quality gates, commit, update progress, exit. The loop script handles the next iteration.
