Start Ralph Wiggum Loop

Start the continuous task execution loop that processes tasks from a Dart dartboard.

Process

1. Determine Target Dartboard

If dartboard name provided as argument, use it. Otherwise:

1. Check for .claude/dartai.local.md config file for default dartboard
2. Try to match current directory name to a dartboard
3. Ask user to select from available dartboards via Dart MCP

Use mcp__Dart__get_config to get available dartboards

2. Fetch Active Tasks

Query Dart for tasks in the dartboard:

Use mcp__Dart__list_tasks with:
- dartboard: [selected dartboard]
- is_completed: false
- status: "To-do" or "In Progress"
- limit: 20

3. Initialize Loop State

Track:

• Current dartboard
• Tasks queue (ordered by priority)
• Completed tasks count
• Failed tasks count
• Start time

4. Execute Loop

For each task in queue:

1. Announce task: Display task title and description
2. Update status: Set task to "In Progress" via Dart MCP
3. Execute pipeline: Use task-executor agent
4. Handle result:
   • Success: Update to "Done", add completion comment, continue
   • Failure: Update status, add failure details, STOP loop
5. Update documentation: Use doc-updater agent
6. Check for stop signal: User can say "stop" to end loop

5. Loop Control

The loop continues until:

• All tasks completed
• A task fails (stops with report)
• User says "stop", "cancel", or "pause"
• Session ends

6. Status Reporting

Display ongoing progress:

Ralph Wiggum Loop Status
