ralph is an archived example, not installed by init. Copy it from examples/init-pack/ with its dependency closure, or ask create-workflow for a bounded variant. Once installed, it repeatedly runs the configured smart agent on your prompt.
ralph workflow UI showing a single agent task in an unbounded loop

The ralph UI shows the single agent task re-running on your prompt in an unbounded loop.

​
Inputs

​
Use it when

  • An open-ended prompt with no fixed finish line benefits from continuous iteration (reducing flaky tests, chipping at tech debt).

​
Use something else when

  • The work has a clear definition of done: use implement or mission.
  • Need review gates or validation each pass: use a validation-loop workflow such as implement.

​
Resume & retry

ralph won’t stop on its own: cancel it with bunx smthrs cancel RUN_ID when enough work is done, or configure a maxIterations limit in your workflow file. Runs are durable and resume with up --resume.
