GOAL
Try out a 'Ralph loop' tool by starting a dummy 4-iteration test task and observing how the agent progresses through iterations.
- +0Prompt · +0Start a dummy Ralph loop for testing, 4 iterations
- +0mAgent did · +0mStarted the 'dummy-test' loop with a task file and checklist, completed iteration 1, and tried to call ralph_done but it was skipped since messages were already queued
- +0mPrompt · +0mIteration 1/4 prompt auto-sent by the loop with task instructions
- +0mAgent did · +0mMarked iteration 1 complete and wrote updated checklist to .ralph/dummy-test.md
- +0mIntervention · +0mTold the agent not to send ralph_done, pausing the loopWhy: I just wanted to see one iteration play out before letting it keep going automatically.
- +0mAgent did · +0mConfirmed the loop was paused at iteration 1/4 and ended its turn as instructed
- +5mPrompt · +5mRun a new Ralph loop
- +5mOutcome · +5mStarted a second dummy loop 'dummy-test-2' with 4 max iterations
VERDICT
I'd start by saying I just want to test one iteration manually rather than letting the loop auto-chain, since the tool seems to want to keep calling ralph_done on its own. Telling it explicitly not to send ralph_done was what actually gave me control over the pacing. Overall this was just a sanity check of the loop mechanics, not real work.
