Enhance Ralph hook with background task spawning
BREAKING CHANGE: Ralph now runs as background process (non-blocking) Changes: - Enhanced ralph-auto-trigger.sh to spawn Ralph in background - Hook immediately returns to Claude Code (NON-BLOCKING) - Ralph runs via nohup (survives terminal close) - Added PID tracking: ~/.claude/ralph.pid - Added lock file: ~/.claude/ralph.lock - Added log file: ~/.claude/ralph-output.log - Added trigger log: ~/.claude/ralph-trigger.log - Added RALPH_MAX_ITERATIONS environment variable (default: 50) Features: - Background execution: Claude Code continues immediately - Process tracking: PID saved for monitoring/stopping - Lock mechanism: Prevents duplicate Ralph instances - Real-time monitoring: tail -f ~/.claude/ralph-output.log - Graceful cleanup: Auto-cleanup of dead process locks Updated files: - MASTER-PROMPT.md: Enhanced hook script + usage instructions - interactive-install-claude.sh: Enhanced install_ralph() function - ~/.claude/hooks/ralph-auto-trigger.sh: Updated local installation Usage: - Ralph auto-starts in background when agents are requested - Monitor: tail -f ~/.claude/ralph-output.log - Stop: kill $(cat ~/.claude/ralph.pid) - Configure: export RALPH_AUTO_MODE=agents|always|off - Configure: export RALPH_MAX_ITERATIONS=100 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

|

|
||||
## Context
|
||||
|
||||
This state file was automatically generated by the Ralph auto-trigger hook.
|
||||
Ralph CLI can read this file to continue autonomous looping based on the user's request.
|
||||
Ralph CLI will read this file and autonomously execute the request.
|
||||
|
||||
## Auto-Trigger Details
|
||||
|
||||
- Triggered by: Claude Code UserPromptSubmit hook
|
||||
- Trigger mode: $RALPH_AUTO_MODE
|
||||
- Background execution: Yes (non-blocking)
|
||||
- Log file: $RALPH_LOG_FILE
|
||||
|
||||
## Usage
|
||||
|
||||
To run Ralph autonomously:
|
||||
\`\`\`bash
|
||||
ralph build 50 # Run 50 iterations
|
||||
\`\`\`
|
||||
Ralph is running autonomously in the background. Monitor progress:
|
||||
|
||||
bash
|
||||
# View Ralph output in real-time
|
||||
tail -f ~/.claude/ralph-output.log
|
||||
|
||||
# Check if Ralph is still running
|
||||
ps aux | grep ralph
|
||||
|
||||
# Stop Ralph manually
|
||||
kill $(cat ~/.claude/ralph.pid)
|
||||
rm ~/.claude/ralph.lock
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Ralph will read this state file and continue working until the task is complete.
