ralph

ralph is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dgk-dev/dgk-gpt. It costs 46 tokens per session (269 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A persistent completion workflow for implementation tasks. It repeats inspection, implementation, verification, and fixes until the requested result is actually confirmed.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when a task must keep iterating until completion, especially after implementation changes or failed verification.
Why use it?
It prevents stopping at a partial fix or treating an unverified result as finished. It continues through failed checks and tries another approach when needed.

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 A, and why

ralph scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 5d 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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

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

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.
