Overview

Ralph enables continuous autonomous development cycles where Claude Code iteratively improves projects until completion. It provides built-in safeguards to prevent infinite loops and API overuse with features like dual-condition exit gates, rate limiting, and circuit breakers.

Deep Analysis

Key Differentiator

Implements Geoffrey Huntley's technique for Claude Code with dual-condition exit gates requiring both completion indicators and explicit exit signals.
