What is Ralph Orchestrator?
Ralph Orchestrator is a hat-based orchestration framework that keeps AI agents in a loop until the task is done, using the "Ralph Wiggum" technique. Ralph iterates until it outputs LOOP_COMPLETE or hits the iteration limit.
Presets help you start, simple tasks can skip planning, and an alpha web dashboard monitors and manages loops. It can also serve an MCP server scoped to one workspace, and installs via npm, Cargo or GitHub Releases.
