Ralph loop

Pre-requisites:

1. Ensure there is a PRD as a Markdown file (artefacts/prd.md by default)
2. Ensure the PRD has tickets
3. Ensure tickets have acceptance criteria
4. Ensure there is a progress file (artefacts/progress.md) - create an empty one if not

Workflow:

1. Spawn an agent:
   • Spawn a @general agent to do the instructions in <skill_dir>/once.md
   • Use its instructions in verbatim, but change the file paths if needed
   • Include additional instructions / preamble if given by user
   • Ensure all plan files are included (eg, PRD, TDD)
2. Verify commit:
   • Verify that the agent created a git commit, create one if it didn't
3. Assess completeness:
   • If the agent reports all PRD tasks are done ("PRD_COMPLETE"), stop
   • Otherwise, repeat step 1 (up to 10 times max iterations)

Guidelines:

• Only 1 iteration per agent. Do not ask agent to do more than 1
• Use new agent sessions (eg, don't reuse session_id) - unless otherwise specified
