## What it is
A Rust CLI that orchestrates autonomous AI coding agents (Claude Code, Codex CLI, Gemini CLI, etc.) in a repeated loop until a task completes, based on the Ralph Wiggum technique. It includes spec-driven planning, presets, and an alpha web dashboard for monitoring orchestration loops.

## Use cases
- run an AI agent in a loop until a coding task is done
- orchestrate claude code or codex cli autonomously
- plan and implement features with spec-driven AI development
- monitor autonomous agent loops from a web dashboard
- automate long-running AI coding sessions
- use multiple AI CLI backends with one orchestrator

## When to choose
- you want hands-off, iterative AI agent execution for coding tasks
- you already use Claude Code, Codex CLI, or Gemini CLI and want loop orchestration
- you prefer spec-driven (plan-then-implement) AI workflows

## When to avoid
- you need a fully stable, production-hardened orchestration platform (dashboard is alpha)
- you want a GUI-first agent tool rather than a CLI
- your tasks need human-in-the-loop approval at each step
