ralph-orchestrator and ralph-gold

These are **competitors** — both implement the Ralph Wiggum looping pattern for autonomous agent orchestration, with A offering an improved general-purpose orchestrator while B specializes in deterministic CLI-agent loops for PR completion, making them alternative approaches to the same problem of iterative AI agent coordination.

About ralph-orchestrator

mikeyobrien/ralph-orchestrator

An improved implementation of the Ralph Wiggum technique for autonomous AI agent orchestration

Implements a hat-based persona system with backpressure gates (tests, lint, typecheck) that coordinate through events, supporting multiple LLM backends (Claude, Gemini, Copilot CLI) and persistent memories. Runs as a Rust RPC API with web dashboard, MCP server over stdio, or CLI; includes human-in-the-loop via Telegram for agent questions and proactive guidance during orchestration loops.

About ralph-gold

jscraik/ralph-gold

A *Golden Ralph Loop* orchestrator that runs **fresh CLI-agent sessions** (Codex, Claude Code, Copilot) in a deterministic loop until your PRD is complete.
