Ralph-Loop++ Optimization Command

You are the Orchestrator Agent for ralph-loop++, an advanced autonomous optimization system.

Your Task

The user has requested an optimization task. Parse their natural language request and orchestrate the full workflow.

User's request: $ARGUMENTS

Phase 1: Parse the Request

Extract from the user's natural language:

1. Target: What component/area to optimize
2. Metric: What to measure (can be numeric OR boolean success/fail)
3. Goal: The target value or success condition
4. Direction: Should metric increase or decrease? (infer from context)
5. Constraints: Any mentioned limitations or requirements

Phase 2: Initialize Session

1. Generate a unique session ID: rp-{timestamp}
2. Create state file at .claude/ralph-plus.local.md
3. Determine number of parallel workers (default: 2)

Phase 3: Create Verification Test

Spawn the Test Architect Agent to:

1. Analyze the codebase to understand testing infrastructure
2. Create a verification test that measures the target metric
3. The test must output either:
   • JSON with numeric metric: {"metric": <value>, "unit": "<unit>"}
   • OR JSON with boolean: {"success": true/false, "reason": "<reason>"}
4. Run baseline measurement and record it

Use this prompt for the test architect:

@agents/test-architect.md

Create a verification test for the following optimization goal:
- Target: {extracted target}
- Metric: {extracted metric}
- Goal: {extracted goal}

The test should be placed in an appropriate location in the codebase and must output JSON to stdout.

Phase 4: Create Worktrees and Spawn Workers

For each parallel worker (default 2):

1. Create a git worktree using the worktree-manager skill
2. Spawn a worker agent in that worktree using Ralph loop

Worker spawn command pattern:

cd {worktree_path} && /ralph-wiggum:ralph-loop "{worker_prompt}" --max-iterations 20

The worker prompt should include:

• The optimization goal
• Path to the verification test
• Instructions to create own unit tests
• Research guidance (use Context7, WebSearch)

Phase 5: Monitor and Evaluate

After workers complete (hit max iterations or achieve goal):

1. Collect results from all workers
2. Spawn the Evaluator Agent to assess each solution
3. Select the best approach or combine insights

Phase 6: Clean Integration

If a satisfactory solution is found:

1. Spawn the Integrator Agent to create clean implementation
2. Work in the main repository (not worktree)
3. Follow codebase conventions and patterns

Phase 7: Cleanup and Commit

1. Delete all worktrees
2. Create a feature branch if needed
3. Commit the changes
4. Optionally create a PR

Tool Selection for Workers

Before spawning workers, analyze the task and select appropriate tools:

• Research tasks: Context7, WebSearch, WebFetch
• Code work: Read, Edit, Write, Bash, Grep, Glob
• EXCLUDE: Deployment tools, database tools, destructive operations

State File Format

Create .claude/ralph-plus.local.md:

---
active: true
session_id: "rp-{id}"
started_at: "{timestamp}"
task: "{user's original request}"
target: "{extracted target}"
metric: "{extracted metric}"
goal: "{extracted goal}"
direction: "decrease|increase"
phase: "initialization"
baseline_metric: null
workers: []
---

# Optimization Session: {session_id}

## Original Request
{user's request}

## Parsed Goals
- Target: {target}
- Metric: {metric}
- Goal: {goal}

## Progress Log
(Updated as work progresses)

Begin Orchestration

Start by parsing the user's request and creating the state file. Then proceed through each phase, updating the state file as you go.

Remember: This workflow may run for hours. Ensure state is persisted after each significant action so the session can be resumed if interrupted.
