📄 Description

Summary

Adds a pure-Python self-improvement runner that enables Ralph to enhance itself using its own SDK.

What's Included

Single file: scripts/self_improve.py

Usage

# Run with a prompt file
python scripts/self_improve.py -P prompts/MY_FEATURE_PROMPT.md

# With web UI monitoring
python scripts/self_improve.py -P prompts/PROMPT.md --with-web-ui

# Dry run to validate setup
python scripts/self_improve.py -P prompts/PROMPT.md --dry-run

Key Features

Uses SDK directly - No subprocess CLI calls, pure Python
Inherits user's settings - MCP servers, CLAUDE.md, all your tools
Full parameter control - Context window, thresholds, costs via CLI
Web UI integration - Real-time monitoring of progress

Background

This follows the patterns from Anthropic's Effective Harnesses for Long-Running Agents:

"We developed a two-fold solution: an initializer agent that sets up the environment on the first run, and a coding agent that is tasked with making incremental progress in every session."

Now Ralph can use this pattern to improve itself.
