Ship verified code, one stage per agent
Run a multi-stage software factory pipeline where each agent handles one task in a fresh context, anchored to mechanical gates and held-out test suites.
# AGENTS.md — read this first This is Software Bodega , a software factory: a pipeline that turns an idea into verified code with one human touch per stage. Where state lives — on disk, never in chat history: - factory/STATE.md — current stage + pointer. Single source of truth. - factory/BRIEF.md BLUEPRINT.md CONTRACT.md HANDOFF.md REVIEW.md GUIDE.md - factory/.planning/{spec,decompose,plan}.json — machine-checked artifacts - factory/.planning/gate-results/ — <gate>-<sha>.json verdicts - factory/tasks/ .md — one file per task - factory/progress.md factory/log.md — append-only diaries. Never rewrite. Rules that do not bend: 1. One agent per station. One task per fresh context window. No multi-agent chat. 2. Every gate anchors to something mechanical. LLM judges are fallbacks and must be a different model FAMILY than the author. 3. factory/tests/heldout/ is held out . Never read it, never reference it, never write to it. If you can see it, that is a bug — report it. 4. Repair loops cap at 2. Then resample N=3. Then PARK. Never loop forever. 5. Never weaken a test to make it pass. Never edit CONTRACT.md — it is signed. 6. git add

More planning loops
Ralph the PRD backlog
The canonical Ralph loop: each iteration starts fresh, reads the PRD and guardrails, ships exactly one backlog item end-to-end, and records what it learned.
/loop start each iteration with fresh context: read PROMPT.md, prd.json, and .ralph/guardrails.md; pick the single highest-priority item in prd.json not marked done, implement it with tests, run the full check suite, commit and mark it done only if green; if blocked or a check fails twice the same way, append the lesson to .ralph/guardrails.md and move on; stop when every item is done or after 30 turns
Spec-first Ralph (PLAN.md-driven)
The spec-driven maturation of the Ralph loop: each fresh-context iteration reads PLAN.md, implements the highest-priority unchecked item, checks it off, and commits — so the spec file evolves alongside the codebase.
Ralph variant where the loop prompt is "read PLAN.md, pick highest-priority unchecked item, implement, check it off, commit, exit" — spec file evolves with the codebase.
Guardrails: Stop when the goal is verifiably met, or stop after 15 iterations, whichever comes first. Keep changes minimal and never touch files outside the task’s scope.
Find winner assets per class
Dig deeper into asset classes until you identify true winners, re-analyzing every 2 hours.
/loop 2h keep going and dig deeper until you find us true winners per asset class Cap the run at 15 passes.
