Autonomous Code Generation with Human Oversight

The Ralph Wiggum Loop is a technique for autonomous code generation that runs iterative development cycles with fresh context each time. Developers define requirements through a PRD, break them into specifications, and create an implementation plan with clear exit criteria. The loop then autonomously generates code in focused iterations, marking tasks complete until all work is done. Human oversight remains essential for defining architecture, features, and accepting generated code. The pattern prioritizes risky work first and easy wins last, using test verification to determine when each iteration completes.
