From 03b423e636b0726633984b6e4cf6405eea80efd3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: AskTinNguyen Date: Wed, 21 Jan 2026 22:09:16 +0700 Subject: [PATCH 1/6] feat(ralph): add simplified loop with Claude Code hooks MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Implements a minimal Ralph loop (~200 lines) with hook-based enforcement: - simplified-loop.sh: Core iteration loop with signal handling, timeout - lib/minimal.sh: Essential utilities (logging, atomic write, story mgmt) - hooks/pre-tool.sh: PreToolUse validation (Edit requires Read, blocks git push) - hooks/post-tool.sh: PostToolUse test failure detection (Jest/pytest/Go/etc) - hooks/on-stop.sh: Stop hook for completion state and cleanup - hooks/pre-prompt.sh: UserPromptSubmit hook for session management Key improvements: - 5x smaller than original loop.sh (805 vs 4,244 lines) - All enforcement via hooks (not inline validation) - Comprehensive test failure patterns for 7+ frameworks - All hooks exit 0 (never break Claude Code) - Atomic file operations for race-condition safety Test coverage: 20 tests, all passing πŸ€– Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .agents/ralph/PROMPT_simplified.md | 45 + .agents/ralph/hooks/on-stop.sh | 84 ++ .agents/ralph/hooks/post-tool.sh | 147 ++++ .agents/ralph/hooks/pre-prompt.sh | 55 ++ .agents/ralph/hooks/pre-tool.sh | 120 +++ .agents/ralph/lib/minimal.sh | 150 ++++ .agents/ralph/simplified-loop.sh | 204 +++++ .../feat-simplified-ralph-loop-with-hooks.md | 784 ++++++++++++++++++ tests/fixtures/hooks/plan-complete.md | 28 + tests/fixtures/hooks/plan-partial.md | 40 + tests/fixtures/hooks/test-output-go.txt | 12 + tests/fixtures/hooks/test-output-jest.txt | 26 + tests/fixtures/hooks/test-output-pytest.txt | 20 + tests/simplified-loop.test.sh | 303 +++++++ 14 files changed, 2018 insertions(+) create mode 100644 .agents/ralph/PROMPT_simplified.md create mode 100755 .agents/ralph/hooks/on-stop.sh create mode 100755 .agents/ralph/hooks/post-tool.sh create mode 100755 .agents/ralph/hooks/pre-prompt.sh create mode 100755 .agents/ralph/hooks/pre-tool.sh create mode 100644 .agents/ralph/lib/minimal.sh create mode 100755 .agents/ralph/simplified-loop.sh create mode 100644 plans/feat-simplified-ralph-loop-with-hooks.md create mode 100644 tests/fixtures/hooks/plan-complete.md create mode 100644 tests/fixtures/hooks/plan-partial.md create mode 100644 tests/fixtures/hooks/test-output-go.txt create mode 100644 tests/fixtures/hooks/test-output-jest.txt create mode 100644 tests/fixtures/hooks/test-output-pytest.txt create mode 100755 tests/simplified-loop.test.sh diff --git a/.agents/ralph/PROMPT_simplified.md b/.agents/ralph/PROMPT_simplified.md new file mode 100644 index 0000000..481aec5 --- /dev/null +++ b/.agents/ralph/PROMPT_simplified.md @@ -0,0 +1,45 @@ +# Build Task + +You are an autonomous coding agent.
