Research (as an internal step) a GitHub/GitLab milestone's open issues in order to PRINT a copy-paste autonomous-loop prompt that drives the milestone to completion — behavior-driven (BDD) scenarios, adversarial gap-checking, a per-iteration Definition-of-Done gate (build + all tests + zero lint + /code-review + /security-audit + /ponytail:ponytail findings all cleared), specialized-agent selection with model tier scaled to task complexity, and a root-cause→harness-hardening loop. Use this whenever the user says "generate a goal prompt", "goal-driven prompt", "milestone loop prompt", "prompt to finish/complete the milestone", "clear-and-paste prompt for milestone N", "make me a prompt to drive /autoresearch", or otherwise wants a ready-to-paste block that autonomously completes a milestone's remaining issues. The deliverable is the prompt itself, not a summary. NOT for actually executing the work (this only GENERATES and PRINTS the prompt — the loop does the work), NOT for merely summarizing or listing a mile
Eight APM-marketplace-authoring gotchas discovered during real migrations from hand-authored .claude-plugin/marketplace.json to APM-managed and from CC-native plugin authoring. Use when: (1) running APM's packaging step (with or without `--dry-run`) or its marketplace-check command in a repo with an `apm.yml`; (2) wiring CI for an APM marketplace; (3) the CI staleness check (repack, then `git diff --quiet`) fails despite a clean local; (4) prettier reformats `marketplace.json` after APM's packer writes it; (5) APM exit code 1 on local-path-only marketplaces; (6) confused by `packages:` in apm.yml vs `plugins:` in marketplace.json; (7) commitlint rejects a commit with `footer-leading-blank` despite no apparent footer; (8) `apm compile -t claude` exits 0 with zero output and no compiled plugin appears; (9) husky+lint-staged pre-commit blocks the FIRST marketplace commit with markdownlint `MD040/fenced-code-language` errors on a SKILL.md file copied verbatim from `~/.claude/skills/`. The gotchas form a chain — f
Canonical authoring layout for an APM (microsoft/apm) package, plus the decision matrix for whether you need a `marketplace:` block. Use when: (1) you've run `apm init` and are unsure where SKILL.md / agent .md / command .md files belong (answer: under `.apm/`, NOT at repo root); (2) you've authored CC-native files at `commands/agents/skills/` at repo root and wonder if that's "right" (it works as fallback layout #3 "Claude plugin", but it's not the canonical authoring path); (3) you're trying to choose between the three layouts APM recognizes (one-skill repo, multi-primitive `.apm/`, Claude plugin); (4) `apm targets` fails with "No such command" in CLI 0.12.1 (subcommand doesn't exist); (5) `apm validate` fails with "No such command" in CLI 0.12.1 (use APM's packaging command in dry-run mode instead); (6) wondering whether `apm compile -t claude` will generate output for a hand-authored CC-native plugin (it won't; it's a no-op for layout #3); (7) wondering if you need a `marketplace:` block in apm.yml (you d

When invoking the Ralph Loop skill, the prompt argument must be properly quoted.
/ralph-loop "Your task description here" --max-iterations 5 --completion-promise "Task complete"
Or using the Skill tool:
Skill: ralph-loop:ralph-loop
Args: "Your task description" --max-iterations 5 --completion-promise "Done"
/ralph-loop Audit links: 1) Check broken, 2) Fix dupes
Error: Shell operators require approval
/ralph-loop "Check (parentheses) and [brackets]"
May fail due to shell interpretation
/ralph-loop "Audit links and fix issues" --max-iterations 5
--max-iterations N - Stop after N iterations (default: unlimited)--completion-promise "TEXT" - Exit when this phrase is output in <promise> tags# Check current iteration
head -10 .claude/ralph-loop.local.md
Output the exact completion promise in XML tags:
<promise>Your completion promise text</promise>
Only output this when the statement is genuinely TRUE - do not lie to escape the loop.
