Ralphex – Ralph-inspired loop extended with plan creation and reviews
Built 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…

What it does
ralphex is the extended ralph loop: an autonomous orchestrator of coding agents (Claude Code, codex, GitHub Copilot CLI) that executes implementation plans task by task, then runs multi-agent code review.
The autonomous loop for plan execution and multi-agent code review, driving Claude Code or codex. Each task runs in a fresh session, keeping the agent sharp from start to finish. ralphex is an autonomous orchestrator of coding agents — the extended ralph loop. It doesn't write code itself; it drives Claude Code, codex, GitHub Copilot CLI, or any compatible agent through a structured plan. Tasks execute one by one in fresh agent sessions, followed by multi-agent code review with five specialized AI reviewers in parallel. Unlike a simple ralph loop that re-runs the same prompt until it works, ralphex manages structured plans, commits after each task, and orchestrates multi-phase reviews…from ralphex.umputun.dev

Continuous Claude – run Claude Code in a loopNov 2025 · github.com · ▲170Continuous Claude is a CLI wrapper I made that runs Claude Code in an iterative loop with persistent context, automatically driving a PR-based workflow. Each iteration creates a branch, applies a focused code change, generates a commit, opens a PR via GitHub's CLI, waits for required checks and reviews, merges if green, and records state into a shared notes file. This avoids the typical stateless one-shot pattern of current coding agents and enables multi-step changes without losing intermediate reasoning, test failures, or partial progress. The tool is useful for tasks that require many…

runCLAUDErun2025 · runclauderun.com · ▲112I built runCLAUDErun because I got tired of manually running the same Claude Code tasks every day. It's free and it runs locally. What it does: It's a macOS app that schedules your local Claude Code to run on any schedule you want - daily, weekly, or custom cron expressions. My use case: Every night at 11pm, it automatically summarizes my Obsidian daily notes. But, it can schedule any Claude task - code reviews, data processing, report generation, web research, file organization, etc... Technical details: - Native macOS app (Electron + React) - Uses launchd for scheduling (proper macOS…
Project management system for Claude Code2025 · github.com · ▲175I built a lightweight project management workflow to keep AI-driven development organized. The problem was that context kept disappearing between tasks. With multiple Claude agents running in parallel, I’d lose track of specs, dependencies, and history. External PM tools didn’t help because syncing them with repos always created friction. The solution was to treat GitHub Issues as the database. The "system" is ~50 bash scripts and markdown configs that: - Brainstorm with you to create a markdown PRD, spins up an epic, and decomposes it into tasks and syncs them with GitHub issues - Track…

PlannotatorApr 2026 · github.com · ▲97I started this in January as a hook for Claude Code's plan mode: when it finished planning, instead of approving a wall of text in the terminal, the plan opens in your browser and you could mark it up like a document. Your annotations go back into the agent session. It grew from there. There's now PR-style code review (git, jj, p4, GitHub/GitLab PRs) and annotation for markdown, URLs, and folders. Agents produce a lot of HTML now, so Plannotator renders those artifacts and lets you annotate them too. Nine harnesses are supported: Claude Code, Codex, Copilot CLI, Gemini, OpenCode, Kiro,…

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
