ralph-gsd

name	ralph-gsd
description	Use when the user asks to start, run, or resume ralph-gsd (the autonomous milestone execution loop). Invokes the monitor skill then launches ralph-gsd in the background.

ralph-gsd: Run

Starts the autonomous ralph-gsd milestone execution loop and sets up the 2-hour background monitor.

Steps (always in this order)

1. Invoke the monitor skill FIRST

Before launching ralph-gsd, invoke the monitor skill to set up the 2-hour watchdog:

Skill("ralph-gsd-monitor")

This sets up a CronCreate job — no further action needed.

2. Launch ralph-gsd

Spawn an agent to start ralph-gsd in the background:

cd /home/george/projects/active/businessagent && nohup bash /home/george/.claude/scripts/ralph-gsd.sh \
  --project-dir /home/george/projects/active/businessagent \
  --skip-discuss \
  --max-parallel 4 \
  >> .planning/ralph-gsd.log 2>&1 &

Use --resume flag if the user asks to resume after a stop.

3. Confirm

Return the PID and confirm both the ralph-gsd process and the monitor cron are active.
