Ralphify and RALPH.md for Loop Engineering
Short answer
Ralphify is an experimental open-source loop runtime. RALPH.md-style exports can help describe loop goals, commands, boundaries, and fallback rules, but they should be treated as experimental.
Why it matters
A written loop definition makes goals, commands, boundaries, and fallbacks explicit and reviewable. That structure is useful regardless of runtime — but RALPH.md is not an industry standard, so verify compatibility before relying on it.
Practical checklist
- Treat RALPH.md as experimental, not a standard
- Keep the same safety fields you would in any loop
- Verify your runtime actually reads the format
- Keep a human approval gate for high-risk actions
Example
The Loop Goal Generator can export a RALPH.md with Goal, Commands, Boundaries, Stop Rule, Budget, and Fallback sections — a structured starting point for a Ralphify-style local experiment.
Common failure modes
Treating RALPH.md as a guaranteed standard
Dropping safety fields in the export
Assuming any runtime will understand it
