View guide →An autonomous loop for Claude Code with intelligent exit detection, rate limits and a circuit breaker.
ralph-claude-code is an open-source dev tools project by frankbria (frankbria/ralph-claude-code on GitHub). It has 9,671 GitHub stars and 726 forks, is released under the MIT license, and was last updated on GitHub on 8 October 2026.
Define the project and task list Ralph should work through, and set sensible call limits in the project config before letting it run unattended.
Clone frankbria/ralph-claude-code from GitHub (or use the install path in the run steps below) and skim its README for the parts relevant to your goal.
Clone the repo, run its install script, and make sure the Claude Code CLI and GitHub CLI are installed; then enable Ralph in a project with the setup wizard.
Start the loop in a project, watch live output with the live flag, and let the exit gate and circuit breaker decide when it is done or stuck.
Exit requires BOTH completion indicators AND an explicit EXIT_SIGNAL, so the loop neither quits early nor claims success falsely.
An hourly limiter (100 calls/hour by default, configurable) with hourly reset keeps unattended runs inside a budget.
Advanced error detection trips a circuit breaker to prevent runaway loops when the agent is stuck repeating failures.
Semantic response analysis with two-stage error filtering, plus JSON output format support with automatic fallback to text parsing.
A --resume flag preserves context across runs with configurable session expiration (24 hours by default), without session hijacking.
Live streaming output, dry-run mode, desktop notifications, log rotation, ralph-stats metrics, and automatic git backup branches with rollback.

Yes — the project is open source under the MIT license as recorded for this listing. You can use, modify and distribute it under the MIT terms.
Yes — it drives the Claude Code CLI, so you need Claude Code set up with your own Anthropic access; Ralph itself is free and open source.
Interactive Claude Code stops whenever you stop prompting. Ralph wraps it in a managed loop — exit detection, rate limiting, a circuit breaker, metrics and git backups — designed for unattended runs, at the cost of needing careful task setup.
Clone the repository (or use the documented installer), follow the install and configure steps on this page, and run the smallest real task first — start the loop in a project, watch live output with the live flag, and let the exit gate and circuit breaker decide when it is done or stuck.
