Autonomous AI coding with spec-driven development Ralph Wiggum combines Geoffrey Huntley's iterative bash loop with spec-driven development for fully autonomous AI-assisted software development. The key insight: Fresh context each iteration . Each loop starts a new agent process with a clean context window, preventing context overflow and degradation. Use Ralph Wiggum when: For full Ralph Wiggum setup with constitution and interview: The agent will guide you through a lightweight, pleasant setup : For existing projects, the agent detects your tech stack automatically. The interview prioritizes understanding what you're building and why . Each iteration of the Ralph loop starts a new AI agent process. This means: State persists between loops via files: The agent outputs DONE ONLY when: The bash loop checks for this phrase. If not found, it retries.
