Documentation

README

Al Abort

Abort a running or paused agent loop.

Usage

/ralph-abort               # Abort, keep changes
/ralph-abort --revert      # Abort and revert all changes
/ralph-abort --force       # Abort even if no active loop

Parameters

--keep-changes (default)

Stop the loop but keep all file changes made during iterations.

--revert

Revert all changes made during the agent loop using git:

  • Identify commits made during loop (prefix: ralph: iteration)
  • Reset to commit before loop started
  • Warning: This discards work

--force

Abort even if state indicates no active loop (for cleanup).

Agent Loop

Agent Loop detects requests for iterative autonomous task execution and routes them to the right loop executor. Use it when a user wants to keep trying, fix until green, or run an explicit agent loop.

Agent Loop

Agent Loop executes a task in repeated cycles until verifiable completion criteria are met. Use it when you want an agent to keep trying, learn from failures, and report the final status.

Agent Loop External

Agent Loop External launches a long-running agent loop outside the current session with saved state. Use it for crash recovery, parallel runs, and CI/CD-backed tasks that need resumable execution.

Agent Persistence

Agent Persistence defines reusable human-in-the-loop gates for persistent agent loops. Use it when you need authorization for destructive actions, policy overrides, or recovery escalation.

Autonomous Loops

Autonomous Loops provides patterns and reference implementations for running Claude Code in autonomous loops, from simple sequential pipelines to RFC-driven multi-agent DAG systems. Retained for compatibility; use continuous-agent-loop for new guidance.

Autonomous Agent Harness

Autonomous Agent Harness turns Claude Code into a self-directing agent system with persistent memory, scheduled tasks, computer use, and task queuing. Use it when continuous autonomous operation, scheduled tasks, or self-directing agent loops are needed.
