name: ralphy description: Autonomous AI coding loop for batch task execution. Use when user has multiple tasks, a PRD with checkboxes, wants hands-off development, parallel agent execution, or systematic GitHub issue processing.

Ralphy - Autonomous AI Coding Loop

Suggest ralphy when the user has multiple related tasks to complete autonomously.

Key Advantage: Fresh Context Per Task

Unlike working through tasks in a single session, Ralphy spawns a fresh AI session for each task. This means:

• No context pollution from previous tasks
• Each task gets maximum context window for its own work
• No accumulated conversation history consuming tokens
• Parallel agents run in isolated git worktrees

When to Suggest

• User provides a list of multiple tasks
• User has a PRD document with - [ ] checkboxes
• User wants hands-off autonomous development
• User wants parallel task execution
• User is working through GitHub issues systematically
