Activation
This is the description your AI agent reads to decide when to run this skill — the better it matches your request, the more reliably it fires.
Start or monitor a governed Ralph Loop — autonomous iterative development with graduated governance oversightKey capabilities
- →Initiate a new governed Ralph Loop with a specified goal and repository
- →Check the progress and status of an ongoing loop
- →Manually halt a running loop
- →Classify loop risk (Low, Medium, High, Critical) to determine governance mode
- →Monitor for convergence, regressions, and drift within the loop
How it works
The skill manages autonomous iterative development loops by initiating, monitoring, and halting them, applying governance based on risk classification and predefined criteria.
Inputs & outputs
When to use demerzel-loop
- →Start an autonomous development loop
- →Check loop progress
- →Halt a development loop
About this skill
Demerzel Governed Ralph Loop
Start or monitor autonomous iterative development cycles with governance checkpoints.
Usage
/demerzel loop start [goal] [repo] — initiate a new loop
/demerzel loop status [loop-id] — check loop progress
/demerzel loop halt [loop-id] — manually halt a loop
Risk Classification (determined before loop starts)
| Risk | Description | Governance Mode |
|---|---|---|
| Low | Reversible, single repo, no security | boundary-only |
| Medium | Reversible but significant, affects behavior | boundary-only |
| High | Irreversible, cross-repo, security-sensitive | per-iteration |
| Critical | Governance integrity, Zeroth Law | per-iteration + human pre-approval |
Loop-Specific Review Criteria
- Convergence: Is the loop making progress? (3 stalls → halt)
- Regression: Did this iteration break a previous iteration's work? (→ halt)
- Drift: Has the loop wandered from its goal? (→ halt, Article 4 concern)
Iteration Limits
- Default: 10 iterations, Absolute max: 25
- Stall limit: 3 iterations without progress
- Zeroth Law concern at any iteration → immediate halt
Demerzel-Initiated Loops
Demerzel may initiate loops for governance tasks only (compliance remediation, Kaizen cycles). Domain work loops are agent-initiated. Dispatched via Galactic Protocol directives.
Source
policies/autonomous-loop-policy.yaml, schemas/loop-state.schema.json
When not to use it
- →For domain work loops that are not agent-initiated
Limitations
- →Iteration limits are set to a default of 10, with an absolute max of 25
- →Stall limit is 3 iterations without progress
- →Immediate halt on Zeroth Law concern at any iteration
How it compares
This skill provides a governed framework for autonomous iterative development with built-in risk classification and monitoring, which is more structured than ad-hoc development cycles.

Project and feature planning with 4 phases - Specify, Design, Tasks, Implement+Validate. Creates atomic tasks with verification criteria and maintains persistent memory across sessions. Stack-agnostic. Use when: (1) Starting new projects (initialize vision, goals, roadmap), (2) Working with existing codebases (map stack, architecture, conventions), (3) Planning features (requirements, design, task breakdown), (4) Implementing with verification, (5) Tracking decisions/blockers across sessions, (6) Pausing/resuming work. Triggers on "initialize project", "map codebase", "specify feature", "design", "tasks", "implement", "pause work", "resume work".
