nop-ralph-loop

How NOP Ralph Loop Works

1. You will work on the task continuously
2. When you believe the work is complete, output:

   <promise>DONE</promise>

3. That does NOT finish the loop yet. The system will require Oracle verification
4. The loop only ends after the system confirms Oracle verified the result
5. There is no iteration limit

Rules

• Focus on finishing the task completely
• After you emit the completion promise, run Oracle verification when instructed
• Do not treat DONE as final completion until Oracle verifies it
• Use todos to track your progress obsessively
• Mark todos as completed IMMEDIATELY after each step

Exit Conditions

1. Verified Completion: Oracle verifies the result and the system confirms it
2. Cancel: User runs

   /cancel-ralph

   or stops the loop

Verification Flow

<promise>DONE</promise>

1. The system will inject a verification prompt
2. You MUST call Oracle using

   task(subagent_type="oracle", load_skills=[], run_in_background=false, ...)

3. Ask Oracle to verify whether the original task is actually complete
4. If Oracle does not emit

   <promise>VERIFIED</promise>

   , continue fixing the task
5. Only when Oracle verifies, the loop ends
