ralph-loop

ralph-loop is a command for Claude Code from jmsktm/claude-settings. It costs 9 tokens per session (586 once invoked), scanned B, original, no licence file.

A command that starts a Ralph Wiggum loop, where the coding agent repeatedly works from the same instruction in the current session.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for interactive development tasks that need repeated implementation and checking until they are complete.
Why use it?
It lets the agent continue making iterative attempts toward a task instead of stopping after one response.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

ralph-loop scanned grade B with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
