Dr. Ralph – Medical Diagnostics Plugin Using Claude Code's Ralph Wiggum
Built this over the weekend for a friend dealing with chronic health issues who wanted help analyzing their medical records. Dr. Ralph is a Claude Code plugin that runs a 5-phase diagnostic workflow: records intake, literature research, differential diagnosis, treatment planning, and SOAP documentation. It uses the Ralph Wiggum plugin’s Stop hook pattern - the loop keeps iterating until diagnosis confidence reaches 80% or max iterations. The interesting bit was adapting Ralph for multi-phase work instead of single-task refactoring. I used Thariq’s AskUserQuestion interview approach to spec…

Yet another tool to wrap agents in a loopDec 2025 · github.com · ▲6I was randomly browsing claude codes ralph wiggum plugin[1] and was surprised to see my toy project referenced. Since it appears people are getting some value out of it, thought I'd share it here... Full disclosure, this repo itself was built with a primitive ralph wiggum loop so expect AI slop. It works though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ https://mikeyobrien.github.io/ralph-orchestrator/ [1] https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/tree/main/plugins/...

WOZCODEMay 2026 · wozcode.com · ▲194For the last year we've been building an AI mobile app builder. Last week we decided to generalize our agent harness and benchmark it against vanilla Claude Code. Turns out the tools we built for app building were significantly more efficient than the native Claude Code tools. When we ran benchmarks we beat Claude code on speed (~40% faster) , cost (25-55% cheaper) and performance (+17% on Terminal Bench 2.0). Today we're making our agent harness publicly available as a Claude Code plugin. Use code WOZCODE1 to try it for $1 at wozcode.com

Ralphex – Ralph-inspired loop extended with plan creation and reviewsJan 2026 · ralphex.umputun.dev · ▲9Built this to manage the full Claude Code workflow autonomously, from initial plan creation to reviewed PR. Tested it on a 25-task plan (5-7 items each) - ran overnight, woke up to a surprisingly solid PR-ready branch. Just run `ralphex` (single binary) in your project directory. Without a plan file, it starts interactive mode. Asks what to build, explores the codebase, writes the plan, then executes. The loop: plan creation (asks questions, writes markdown) → task execution (fresh session each, no context bloat) → multi-phase reviews (Claude + optional Codex) → branch ready for PR. Prompts…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hey HN! I wanted to share something I built over the last few weeks: isometric.nyc is a massive isometric pixel art map of NYC, built with nano banana and coding agents. I didn't write a single line of code. Of course no-code doesn't mean no-engineering. This project took a lot more manual labor than I'd hoped! I wrote a deep dive on the workflow and some thoughts about the future of AI coding and creativity: http://cannoneyed.com/projects/isometric-nyc
