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
In the maker’s words, at launch
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 for each phase are injected with minimal context needed for continuation: plan file, progress log, goal. Progress file accumulates Q&A during planning, execution logs during tasks, review findings between iterations. Output streams to terminal and progress log file simultaneously. Everything customizable at user level (~/.config/ralphex/) or per-project (.ralphex/): prompts, agents, colors. Web dashboard monitors progress files across directories. See active sessions, stream output live, spot failures without switching terminals.

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
