If you need three iterations to get there, that's probably one of the best cases.

If you need 30, okay, maybe that's what it takes.
podcast-host
And if it needs 300, maybe it takes that.

It still will keep working on it until it reaches that goal state, the desired promised state.
podcast-host
And it's a very mindless but also very thoughtful approach because it puts the idea of failing as information at the center of its core.
podcast-host
Failure is a good thing here, because it teaches us another way of how a thing is not to be accomplished.
podcast-host
Success is when we ultimately reach the state of the promised goal, but every failure state along the way removes one further potential state that we might need to check.
podcast-host
The way it works is that you describe your task like you usually would in a prompt, and then Claude works on the task.
podcast-host
And then once it finds a state where it thinks it has something, it tries to exit that task.
podcast-host
And that could be because it's done, it could be because it ran into a problem, or because the API didn't work, or whatever, right?
podcast-host
There's a stop.
podcast-host
But the Wiggham loop, the Ralph Wiggham loop.
podcast-host
Has a stop hook that blocks the exit.
podcast-host
And instead of going back into the prompting state of cloud code, the stop hook feeds the same prompt that you initially had back into the loop.
podcast-host
And until the task is completed, until this completion promise is uttered in the execution of the task, that loop just keeps going.
podcast-host
Right.
podcast-host
You tell it in the prompt that you want to say everything fully finished at the end.
podcast-host
And until it finds everything fully finished, it'll just keep going.
podcast-host
And this is a different approach than what Cloud Code currently does by default.
podcast-host
Right now it tries the thing or whatever it might be.
