Writes ralph loops for you that you can copy and paste

Ralph Command Generator

Generate optimized loop commands for automating Claude Code, Gemini CLI, or Grok CLI with PROMPT.md.

Step 1: Choose AI Tool

Use AskUserQuestion:

Store the choice for later.

Step 2: Choose Model

Use AskUserQuestion based on AI tool choice:

If Claude Code selected:

If Gemini CLI selected:

If Grok CLI selected:

Store the choice for later.

Step 3: Choose Operating System

Use AskUserQuestion:

Store the choice for later.

Step 4: Choose Complexity Level

Use AskUserQuestion:

Step 5: Choose Loop Type (Based on Complexity)

If Simple:

If Intermediate:

If Advanced:

Step 6: Gather Parameters

Based on selected features, ask for values:

If fixed iterations selected:

If time limit selected:

If delay selected:

If file monitoring selected:

Step 7: Generate Command

Build the appropriate command based on: 1. AI tool choice (Claude or Gemini) 2. Model choice 3. Shell choice (PowerShell, CMD, Bash) 4. Complexity level 5. Selected features 6. Parameter values

IMPORTANT - Command Syntax:

For Claude Code (PowerShell/Bash): Use claude-code (NOT claude -p) to accept piped input. The -p flag requires an argument, not pipe.

For Claude Code (Bash):

For Gemini CLI (PowerShell): Gemini CLI accepts stdin piping.

For Grok CLI (PowerShell):

Command Templates

IMPORTANT - Placeholder Replacement:

For Claude Code: Replace [AI_COMMAND_WITH_PROMPT] with the FULL command including the prompt argument:

For Gemini CLI: Replace [AI_COMMAND_WITH_PROMPT] with piped command:

For Grok CLI: Replace [AI_COMMAND_WITH_PROMPT] with piped command:

CRITICAL: Claude Code requires the prompt as a command-line argument. Piping does NOT work with claude -p.

PowerShell - Simple Fixed:

for ($i=1; $i -le N; $i++) { $start = Get-Date; Write-Host "n=== Run $i/N ===" -ForegroundColor Cyan; [AI_COMMAND_WITH_PROMPT]; $duration = ((Get-Date) - $start).TotalSeconds; Write-Host "⏱️  Time: $([math]::Round($duration, 2))s" -ForegroundColor Magenta }

PowerShell - Simple Fixed + Delay:

for ($i=1; $i -le N; $i++) { $start = Get-Date; Write-Host "n=== Run $i/N ===" -ForegroundColor Cyan; [AI_COMMAND_WITH_PROMPT]; $duration = ((Get-Date) - $start).TotalSeconds; Write-Host "⏱️  Time: $([math]::Round($duration, 2))s" -ForegroundColor Magenta; if ($i -lt N) { Write-Host "⏸️  Waiting X seconds..." -ForegroundColor Yellow; Start-Sleep -Seconds X } }

PowerShell - Simple Infinite + Delay:

$i=1; while ($true) { $start = Get-Date; Write-Host "n=== Run $i ===" -ForegroundColor Cyan; [AI_COMMAND_WITH_PROMPT]; $duration = ((Get-Date) - $start).TotalSeconds; Write-Host "⏱️  Time: $([math]::Round($duration, 2))s" -ForegroundColor Magenta; Write-Host "⏸️  Waiting X seconds..." -ForegroundColor Yellow; Start-Sleep -Seconds X; $i++ }

PowerShell - Advanced Full Control:

$end = (Get-Date).AddMinutes(M); for ($i=1; $i -le N -and (Get-Date) -lt $end -and -not (Test-Path STOP.txt); $i++) { $start = Get-Date; Write-Host "n[$(Get-Date -Format 'HH:mm:ss')] Run $i" -ForegroundColor Cyan; [AI_COMMAND_WITH_PROMPT]; $duration = ((Get-Date) - $start).TotalSeconds; Write-Host "⏱️  Time: $([math]::Round($duration, 2))s" -ForegroundColor Magenta; if ($i -lt N) { Write-Host "⏸️  Waiting X seconds..." -ForegroundColor Yellow; Start-Sleep -Seconds X } }; Write-Host "n✅ Complete!" -ForegroundColor Green

CMD - Simple Fixed:

for /L %i in (1,1,N) do @(echo. & echo === Run %i === & type PROMPT.md | [AI_COMMAND])

for /L %i in (1,0,2) do @(echo. & echo === Run %i === & type PROMPT.md | [AI_COMMAND] & timeout /t X /nobreak > nul)

for /L %i in (1,1,N) do @(if exist STOP.txt exit & echo. & echo [%time%] Run %i & type PROMPT.md | [AI_COMMAND] & timeout /t X /nobreak > nul)

for i in {1..N}; do echo -e "\n=== Run $i/N ==="; start=$(date +%s); cat PROMPT.md | [AI_COMMAND]; dur=$(($(date +%s) - start)); echo "⏱️  Time: ${dur}s"; done

for i in {1..N}; do echo -e "\n=== Run $i/N ==="; start=$(date +%s); cat PROMPT.md | [AI_COMMAND]; dur=$(($(date +%s) - start)); echo "⏱️  Time: ${dur}s"; [ $i -lt N ] && { echo "⏸️  Waiting X seconds..."; sleep X; }; done

i=1; while :; do echo -e "\n=== Run $i ==="; start=$(date +%s); cat PROMPT.md | [AI_COMMAND]; dur=$(($(date +%s) - start)); echo "⏱️  Time: ${dur}s"; echo "⏸️  Waiting X seconds..."; sleep X; ((i++)); done

end=$(($(date +%s) + M*60)); for i in {1..N}; do [ $(date +%s) -ge $end ] && break; [ -f STOP.txt ] && break; echo -e "\n[$(date +%H:%M:%S)] Run $i"; start=$(date +%s); cat PROMPT.md | [AI_COMMAND]; dur=$(($(date +%s) - start)); echo "⏱️  Time: ${dur}s"; [ $i -lt N ] && { echo "⏸️  Waiting X seconds..."; sleep X; }; done; echo -e "\n✅ Complete!"

Create a timestamped filename in the format: ralphcommand-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.md

Example: ralphcommand-2026-01-14-233045.md

Use the Write tool to create this file in the current directory with:

File structure:

# Ralph Command
Generated: [timestamp]
Shell: [PowerShell/CMD/Bash]
Command

How to run
1. Make sure you have a PROMPT.md file in this directory
2. Copy the command above
3. Paste into your [PowerShell/CMD/Bash] terminal
4. Press Enter
How to stop
Press Ctrl+C at any time
[- OR create STOP.txt: echo $null > STOP.txt / touch STOP.txt] (if stop file enabled)
What it does
Runs [claude/gemini/grok] with PROMPT.md as input [N times / for M minutes / until stopped].
[Pauses X seconds between runs.]
[Shows timestamp and run number.]
[Displays execution time for each run.]

✅ Created ralphcommand-YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS.md in your current directory!
The file contains your command ready to run. Just open it and copy the command.
