/ouroboros:ralph

MCP-owned Ralph loop around background evolve_step jobs. "The boulder never stops."

Usage

ooo ralph --lineage-id <lineage_id>
/ouroboros:ralph --lineage-id <lineage_id>

The ouroboros_ralph tool owns the loop (do not reimplement it): one background job runs repeated evolve_step generations until QA pass, convergence, a terminal evolution action, cancellation, or max_generations. Router dispatch reads only the named --lineage-id option, never trailing text.

Instructions

Loading MCP tools (deferred-schema guard)

Ouroboros tools may be deferred, and a schema loaded on one turn can unload by the next. Immediately before each ouroboros_* call, load it with the active runtime's tool-discovery capability: "+ouroboros ralph job" for ouroboros_ralph, ouroboros_job_wait, ouroboros_job_status, ouroboros_job_result, and ouroboros_cancel_job; "+ouroboros session signal" for ouroboros_session_signal_targets and ouroboros_session_signal; "+ouroboros conductor decision" for ouroboros_record_conductor_decision. A call whose schema is not loaded fails with "Invalid tool parameters". If the tool is already callable, discovery is a no-op and an empty result is expected. If the tools are genuinely absent, stop and tell the user that Ralph requires the Ouroboros MCP runtime.
