Stavarengo Ralph Wiggum Loop
stavarengo-ralph-wiggum-loop is a Claude Code plugin for the Build phase that runs Geoffrey Huntley’s Ralph Wiggum autonomous loop with fresh context each iteration and one task per cycle.

Run Geoffrey Huntley’s Ralph Wiggum loop in Claude Code so each iteration gets fresh context and completes exactly one task before the next cycle.

What it does
stavarengo-ralph-wiggum-loop is a Claude Code plugin that encodes Geoffrey Huntley’s Ralph Wiggum approach to agentic development: treat each cycle as a clean room with one explicit task, then repeat until the backlog clears. Solo builders who wear every hat benefit when long Claude sessions start confabulating earlier decisions; resetting context per iteration forces the agent to re-read ground truth and finish one slice before grabbing the next. The technique is methodology-first, so it is journey-wide in practice—you can use it while validating a prototype, building features, reviewing before ship, or iterating in production—though the catalog shelf stays Build / PM as the primary home for execution planning. It does not replace human judgment on scope or security; it structures how the agent works so autonomous loops stay bounded and auditable. Install when you are ready to trade marathon chats for short, repeatable Ralph cycles.
Highlights
- Implements the Ralph Wiggum technique: fresh context per iteration, one task at a time.
- Autonomous software development loop designed for Claude Code plugin workflows.
- Reduces context rot by not carrying an entire backlog into every agent turn.
- Single-plugin bundle (plugin count: 1) focused on iteration discipline, not feature breadth.
Why builders use it
Long autonomous Claude Code runs pile stale context and half-finished tasks into one session, so solo builders lose track of what actually shipped.
After install, you can drive bounded Ralph iterations where each pass reloads context and closes a single task before the next loop starts.
