+**What is Ralph Loop?**
+The Ralph Wiggum technique helps Claude maintain focus on long, complex tasks. With CSR integration, Ralph loops gain cross-session memory through hooks.
+
+**CRITICAL: Runaway Loop Prevention**
+- ALWAYS use `--max-iterations` (PLURAL!) as safety net
+- `--max-iteration` (singular) is IGNORED - loop runs forever!
+- Setting `active: false` does NOT stop loops - must DELETE file
+- To stop: `rm .claude/ralph-loop.local.md`
+
+**v7.1+ Enhanced Features:**
+- **Error Signature Deduplication**: Normalizes errors to avoid storing duplicates
+- **Output Decline Detection**: Circuit breaker pattern (detects >70% output drop)
+- **Confidence-Based Exit**: 0-100 scoring for exit decisions
+- **Anti-Pattern Injection**: "DON'T RETRY THESE" surfaced first
+- **Work Type Tracking**: IMPLEMENTATION/TESTING/DEBUGGING/DOCUMENTATION
+- **Error-Centric Search**: Find past sessions by error pattern, not just task

+</div>
+
+Use the [ralph-wiggum plugin](https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code-plugins/tree/main/ralph-wiggum) for long tasks? CSR automatically gives Ralph loops **cross-session AND cross-project memory**:
+
+**Core Features:**
+- **Automatic backup** before context compaction
+- **Past session retrieval** when starting new Ralph loops
+- **Failed approach tracking** - never repeat the same mistakes
+- **Success pattern learning** - reuse what worked before
+
+**v7.1.9 Cross-Project Iteration Memory (NEW!):**
+- **Global Hook System** - Hooks fire for ALL projects, not just CSR
+- **Stop Hook** - Captures iteration state after every Claude response
+- **PreCompact Hook** - Backs up Ralph state before context compaction
+- **Project Tagging** - Each entry tagged with `project_{name}` for cross-project visibility
+- **Automatic Storage** - No manual protocol needed, hooks capture everything
+
+**v7.1+ Enhanced Features:**
+- **Error Signature Deduplication** - Normalizes errors (removes line numbers, paths, timestamps)
+- **Output Decline Detection** - Circuit breaker pattern detects >70% output drop
+- **Confidence-Based Exit** - 0-100 scoring (tasks complete, tests passing, no errors)
+- **Anti-Pattern Injection** - "DON'T RETRY THESE" surfaces failed approaches first
+- **Work Type Tracking** - IMPLEMENTATION/TESTING/DEBUGGING/DOCUMENTATION
+- **Error-Centric Search** - Find past sessions by error pattern
+
+**Setup (one-time):**
+```bash
+./scripts/ralph/install_hooks.sh        # Install CSR hooks globally
+./scripts/ralph/install_hooks.sh --check  # Verify installation
+```
+
+**How it works:**
+1. Start a Ralph loop in ANY project: `/ralph-wiggum:ralph-loop "Build feature X"`
+2. Work naturally - state is tracked in `.claude/ralph-loop.local.md`
+3. **Stop hook** captures each iteration automatically
+4. **PreCompact hook** backs up state before compaction
+5. All entries stored with project tags for cross-project search
+
+**Cross-Project Example:**
+```bash
+# In project-a: learned Docker fix
+# In project-b: CSR finds it automatically
+reflect_on_past("docker memory issue")
+# Returns: project_a session with Docker solution
+```
+
+**Verified proof (2026-01-05):**
+```
+# Hook collection shows cross-project entries:
+Total entries: 23
+
+1. 05:25:06 📦 PreCompact | 📧 emailmon
+2. 05:22:00 🔄 Iteration  | 🔍 claude-self-reflect
+3. 05:13:51 🔄 Iteration  | 📧 emailmon
+
+# Entries include project tags:
+tags: ['__csr_hook_auto__', 'project_emailmon', 'ralph_iteration']
