Dgk-gpt ralph

Persistent completion mode. Use when the user explicitly says `/ralph` or clearly wants you to keep iterating until the task is actually finished, repeating implement-verify-fix loops instead of stopping at partial progress.

Ralph

Use this as a persistence override, not a separate methodology.

Default

  • Treat the task as incomplete until the requested outcome is verified.
  • Repeat the loop: inspect -> implement -> verify -> fix -> verify again.
  • If a check fails, continue with the next fix instead of stopping at the first attempt.
  • If one approach stalls, switch approaches and keep going.
  • Keep intermediate updates short and progress-focused.

Do Not Stop For

  • "Probably fixed"
  • "Good enough"
  • Partial completion
  • A failed first or second attempt
  • Needing one more verification pass

Stop Only When

  • The requested outcome is verified.
  • A real external blocker prevents further progress.
  • The user explicitly stops or redirects the work.

Avoid

  • Do not ask whether to continue after each failure.
  • Do not declare success without running the relevant checks.
  • Do not fall back to planning mode unless execution is genuinely blocked.

Finish

Return:

  • what was completed
  • what was verified
  • what is still blocked, if anything
