Infrastructure skill for setting up Ralph loop scripts for Claude-driven AFK execution. Use when a repo wants a HITL-to-AFK runner around /execute with bounded iterations, GitHub-native durable state, and explicit feedback loops. Not a normal feature-delivery stage; it prepares the repo for safer autonomous execution.

# Setup Ralph Loop Create the local scripts and repo conventions needed to run Ralph safely. ## Invocation Position This is an infrastructure skill, not a normal feature-delivery stage. Use `/setup-ralph-loop` when a project wants to run `/execute` in a repeatable HITL-to-AFK loop. **Auto-invocation:** `/execute` automatically invokes this skill when it detects multi-slice GitHub-issue work (PRD, big-batch appetite, or multiple user stories) and no `ralph-once.sh` or `ralph.sh` exists in the repo root. This means the skill may be entered without the user explicitly calling it — the detection and invocation happen as a prerequisite step inside `/execute`. Do not use it as part of the default feature pipeline. It prepares the repo so later `/execute` execution can run under Ralph with bounded iterations, explicit feedback loops, and durable GitHub-backed state. ## What This Sets Up - **`ralph-once.sh`** for one-iteration HITL Ralph - **`ralph.sh`** for bounded AFK Ralph runs - **Optional package.json scripts** for convenient invocation - **Repo-local loop prompts** that tell Ralph to prefer the highest-risk unblocked slice, run feedback loops, and stop when work is done ## Rules Before Setup - Ralph is an execution mode for `/execute`, not a separate workflow. - Start with HITL Ralph first. Only go AFK after the prompt, feedback loops, and quality bar are behaving well. - Ralph's durable progress state in this workflow lives in GitHub issues, issue comments, and commi
