Common questions

Is Ralph Wiggum Loop safe?

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (1.1.0) reached the registry 15 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need MCPB on your computer.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: Spec Driven Development, Remote Desktop Commander, Zendesk

ralph-wiggum-loop

Multi-model iterative development agent plugin — Ralph Loop with cross-model worker/reviewer architecture, spec-driven development skills, Stop hooks, and SHIP/REVISE decision engine.

Overview

The Ralph Loop implements a two-phase iterative workflow where a worker model does the work and a reviewer model provides cross-model review, iterating until the reviewer says "SHIP".

This project is a cross-platform Agent Plugin (plugin.json, mcp.json, .agents/skills/ralph-wiggum-loop/ & skills/ralph-wiggum-loop/) with native implementations for:

  • Linux / macOS (Bash): bin/ralph-wiggum-loop.sh (using bin/mcp-sdk.sh)
  • Windows (PowerShell): bin/ralph-wiggum-loop.ps1 (using bin/mcp-sdk.psm1)
  • Polyglot Runner: bin/script-runner.sh / bin/script-runner.ps1 (runs in both POSIX sh/bash and PowerShell)

Install Skill (.agents/skills/)

Per the Agent Skills Specification, install the skill to .agents/skills/:

# Project-level (.agents/skills/ralph-wiggum-loop) or User-level (~/.agents/skills/ralph-wiggum-loop)

mkdir -p .agents/skills cp -R skills/ralph-wiggum-loop .agents/skills/ralph-wiggum-loop
