# nick-tracker - Implementation Guide
## Overview
This guide walks you through implementing nick-tracker using the Ralph Method with phase-by-phase execution.
**Tech Stack**: TypeScript / NestJS 10
**Features**: 10
**Estimated Cost**: ~$5.00 (at ~$0.50/feature)
## Prerequisites
1. Read `PROMPT.md` for full project requirements
2. Review `prd.json` for feature tracking
3. Ensure your environment is set up for TypeScript
## Execution
Execute each phase in order. Do not proceed to the next phase until the current phase is complete.
### Phase 1: Foundation
```bash
/ralph-wiggum:ralph-loop "$(cat prompts/phase1-prompt.txt)" --max-iterations 30 --completion-promise "PHASE_1_COMPLETE"
```
**Verify**:
```bash
npm run build && npm run test && npm run lint
```
**Bash loop alternative** (if plugin unavailable):
```bash
PROMPT=$(cat prompts/phase1-prompt.txt)
MAX_ITERATIONS=30
COMPLETION_PROMISE="PHASE_1_COMPLETE"
for i in $(seq 1 $MAX_ITERATIONS); do
echo "=== Iteration $i of $MAX_ITERATIONS ==="
RESPONSE=$(claude -p "$PROMPT")
echo "$RESPONSE"
if echo "$RESPONSE" | grep -q "$COMPLETION_PROMISE"; then
echo "Phase 1 complete!"
break
fi
if echo "$RESPONSE" | grep -q "ABORT_BLOCKED"; then
echo "Blocked - manual intervention required"
break
fi
done
```
---
### Phase 2: Core
```bash
/ralph-wiggum:ralph-loop "$(cat prompts/phase2-prompt.txt)" --max-iterations 40 --completion-promise "PHASE_2_COMPLETE"
```
**Verify**:
```bash
npm run build && npm run test && npm run lint
```
**Bash loop alternative**:
```bash
PROMPT=$(cat prompts/phase2-prompt.txt)
MAX_ITERATIONS=40
COMPLETION_PROMISE="PHASE_2_COMPLETE"
for i in $(seq 1 $MAX_ITERATIONS); do
echo "=== Iteration $i of $MAX_ITERATIONS ==="
RESPONSE=$(claude -p "$PROMPT")
echo "$RESPONSE"
if echo "$RESPONSE" | grep -q "$COMPLETION_PROMISE"; then
echo "Phase 2 complete!"
break
fi
if echo "$RESPONSE" | grep -q "ABORT_BLOCKED"; then
echo "Blocked - manual intervention required"
break
fi
done
```
---
### Phase 3: Integration
```bash
/ralph-wiggum:ralph-loop "$(cat prompts/phase3-prompt.txt)" --max-iterations 40 --completion-promise "PHASE_3_COMPLETE"
```
**Verify**:
```bash
npm run build && npm run test && npm run lint
```
**Bash loop alternative**:
```bash
PROMPT=$(cat prompts/phase3-prompt.txt)
MAX_ITERATIONS=40
COMPLETION_PROMISE="PHASE_3_COMPLETE"
for i in $(seq 1 $MAX_ITERATIONS); do
echo "=== Iteration $i of $MAX_ITERATIONS ==="
RESPONSE=$(claude -p "$PROMPT")
echo "$RESPONSE"
if echo "$RESPONSE" | grep -q "$COMPLETION_PROMISE"; then
echo "Phase 3 complete!"
break
fi
if echo "$RESPONSE" | grep -q "ABORT_BLOCKED"; then
echo "Blocked - manual intervention required"
break
fi
done
```
---
### Phase 4: Polish
```bash
/ralph-wiggum:ralph-loop "$(cat prompts/phase4-prompt.txt)" --max-iterations 30 --completion-promise "PHASE_4_COMPLETE"
```
**Verify**:
```bash
npm run build && npm run test && npm run lint
```
**Bash loop alternative**:
```bash
PROMPT=$(cat prompts/phase4-prompt.txt)
MAX_ITERATIONS=30
COMPLETION_PROMISE="PHASE_4_COMPLETE"
for i in $(seq 1 $MAX_ITERATIONS); do
echo "=== Iteration $i of $MAX_ITERATIONS ==="
RESPONSE=$(claude -p "$PROMPT")
echo "$RESPONSE"
if echo "$RESPONSE" | grep -q "$COMPLETION_PROMISE"; then
echo "Phase 4 complete!"
break
fi
if echo "$RESPONSE" | grep -q "ABORT_BLOCKED"; then
echo "Blocked - manual intervention required"
break
fi
done
```

## Full Project Execution (Alternative)
If you prefer to run the entire project in one loop:
```bash
/ralph-wiggum:ralph-loop "$(cat PROMPT.md)" --max-iterations 100 --completion-promise "PROJECT_COMPLETE"
```
**Note**: Phase-by-phase execution is recommended for complex projects as it provides better control and verification checkpoints.
## Tracking Progress
- Check `prd.json` to see which features have `passes: true`
- Review `progress.txt` for the implementation log
- All phases complete when all features pass
## Troubleshooting
If the agent outputs `ABORT_BLOCKED`:
1. Review the error message
2. Fix the blocking issue manually
3. Re-run the current phase
If iterations exhaust without completion:
1. Check `progress.txt` for what was accomplished
2. Review `prd.json` for remaining features
3. Increase `--max-iterations` and re-run
