## Overview
The Ralph Loop implements a two-phase iterative workflow where a **worker** model does the work and a **reviewer** model provides cross-model review, iterating until the reviewer says **"SHIP"**.
This project is a **cross-platform Agent Plugin** that provides both:
- **MCP Server Mode** — 11 tools over stdio for integration with AI agents
- **CLI Mode** — Run the full loop directly from the command line
## Quick Start
### CLI Mode
```bash
./bin/ralph-loop-runner.sh "Implement user authentication with JWT tokens"
```
### MCP Server Mode
```bash
# Run without arguments to start the MCP server
./bin/ralph-loop-runner.sh
```
### With a Quality Profile
```bash
./bin/ralph-loop-runner.sh "Write a REST API" --profile pro
```

Scored across 10 tools
Disambiguation5/5
Each tool has a distinct purpose: initialization, work submission, review feedback, status, etc. No two tools have overlapping functionality.
Naming Consistency5/5
All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern with the ralph_loop_ prefix in snake_case, making them predictable and logical.
Tool Count5/5
With 10 tools, the set covers the full worker/reviewer cycle without being bloated or insufficient.
Completeness4/5
Covers all major phases: initialize, work, review, block, reset, and status. Minor gap: no explicit tool to list all feedback history, but core workflow is complete.
