## What is Metis Ralph?

Metis Ralph integrates the Ralph Wiggum technique with Metis document management for iterative AI-driven work loops.

**Two modes:**

1. **Task Execution** (`/metis-ralph`) - Execute a Metis task iteratively until complete
2. **Initiative Decomposition** (`/metis-decompose`) - Break down an initiative into tasks

**Core concept:**
- Claude receives a Metis document as the prompt
- Works on the task/decomposition
- Stop hook intercepts exit attempts
- Same prompt fed back for next iteration
- Claud...

Metis Ralph Plugin Help

Please explain the following to the user:

What is Metis Ralph?

Metis Ralph integrates the Ralph Wiggum technique with Metis document management for iterative AI-driven work loops.

Two modes:

Task Execution (/metis-ralph) - Execute a Metis task iteratively until complete
Initiative Decomposition (/metis-decompose) - Break down an initiative into tasks

Core concept:

Claude receives a Metis document as the prompt
Works on the task/decomposition
Stop hook intercepts exit attempts
Same prompt fed back for next iteration
Claude sees previous work in files
Continues until genuinely complete

Available Commands

/metis-ralph <SHORT_CODE> [OPTIONS]

Execute a Metis task with a Ralph loop.

Usage:

/metis-ralph PROJ-T-0001
/metis-ralph PROJ-T-0001 --max-iterations 20

What happens:

Task content read from Metis
Task transitioned to "active"
Claude works on implementation
Loop continues until complete
Task transitioned to "completed"

Completion: Output <promise>TASK COMPLETE</promise> after transitioning to completed.

/metis-decompose <SHORT_CODE> [OPTIONS]

Decompose a Metis initiative into tasks.

Usage:

/metis-decompose PROJ-I-0001
/metis-decompose PROJ-I-0001 --max-iterations 15

What happens:

Initiative content read from Metis
Initiative transitioned to "decompose"
Claude analyzes and creates tasks
Loop continues until decomposition complete
Initiative transitioned to "active"

Completion: Output <promise>DECOMPOSITION COMPLETE</promise> after transitioning to active.

/cancel-metis-ralph

Cancel an active Metis Ralph loop.

Usage:

/cancel-metis-ralph

Note: This removes the loop state but does NOT revert Metis document phase transitions.

Options

Option	Description
`--max-iterations <n>`	Stop after N iterations (default: unlimited)
`--project-path <path>`	Path to .metis folder (default: auto-detect)

When to Use

Good for:

Tasks with clear success criteria
Iterative work (getting tests to pass)
Systematic initiative breakdown
Autonomous execution with Metis tracking

Not good for:

Tasks requiring human judgment
Exploratory work
One-shot operations

Docker Sandbox (Autonomous Execution)

For fully autonomous execution without permission prompts, run Ralph in a Docker sandbox:

docker sandbox run -w "$(pwd)" claude

Then install the plugin and MCP inside the sandbox:

/plugin marketplace add colliery-io/metis
/plugin install metis@colliery-io-metis
!claude mcp add --scope user metis metis mcp
