Why Is Ralph-Loop So Boring?!

Ralph would think the official /ralph-loop plugin for Claude Code was boring! 😴 So I gave it a bit more character. Ralph’s character.

The Ralph Wiggum technique is brilliant - run Claude in a loop until the job’s done. But writing that initial prompt? That was like doing your homework...but even more boring.

Now you can just run:

/ralph-loop --ask-me

And Ralph Wiggum himself will interview you to build the spec. In character. With random Ralph ASCII art. And special Ralph anecdotes like:

“I dressed up as a PDF for Halloween. Nobody knowed what I was”.

He’ll ask about your tech stack (”What magic words does it speak? My fish speaks Spanish!”), gather requirements, then generate a proper Ralph-optimised prompt with checkboxes, constraints, and completion criteria.

Want to have some fun with Ralph?

1️⃣ Clone it:

git clone https://github.com/robman/claude-plugins-official

2️⃣ Run it:

claude --plugin-dir claude-plugins-official/plugins/ralph-loop

3️⃣ Then inside Claude Code run:

/ralph-loop:ralph-loop --ask-me --then-stop

I submitted a PR to the official @Anthropic repo but they have a looong list to review so it could be a while.

I’m helping! 🍎

PS: Ralph is fun, but if you want to try out a smart Coding Agent then checkout this self-modifying version of Claude Code https://latentgeometrylab.robman.fyi/p/claude-code-thyself - or maybe even combine the two.
