Practice the Ralph loop concept manually. This is a demonstration, not automation. ## The Loop (Manual Practice) 1. **Create `AGENTS.md`** - the context file: - Brief description of this project - How to build/run/test - Current focus or next task - Any constraints or patterns to follow - Keep it under 70 lines 2. **Run the agent** (2-3 iterations max): - Give the agent `AGENTS.md` as context - Let it make small changes - Stop after 2-3 iterations 3. **Review what changed**: - Check the diff - Did it move toward the goal? - What did it miss? 4. **Update `AGENTS.md`**: - Add what you learned - Clarify what was wrong - Update the focus/task 5. **Repeat**: - Run agent again with updated context - Review - Update - Continue ## The Point This is slow mode. You're the checkpoint. The agent gets fresh context each time. You steer by updating `AGENTS.md`. Once you understand the rhythm, you can automate it. But start here: manual loop, manual review, manual context updates.
