What

Two positioning shifts the user asked for, plus an aggressive docs trim.

1. Loop engineering is now the headline identity

  • Hero everywhere is "Ralphify is the runtime for loop engineering."
  • New prominent "What is loop engineering?" section on the landing page, with title/description/keywords optimized for the term.
  • The format/runtime split is now explicit and repeated: ralph loops (ralphloops.io) is the open standard format; ralphify is the runtime that runs it; the standard is what makes loops portable and shareable.

2. Doubled down on the five jobs

  • Renamed to "The five jobs of loop engineering" (write / feed / run / steer / share) in README and landing.
  • Sharpened the Share job to lead with what the standard format buys you.

3. Collapsed the nav: 9 pages → 4 (+ Contributing)

Before After
Home, Getting Started, How it Works, Agents, Cookbook, Quick Reference, CLI, Python API, Troubleshooting, Changelog Home · Getting Started · Reference · Changelog

How-it-works, agents, quick-reference, troubleshooting, and the Python API are folded into one comprehensive Reference page. The cookbook page is dropped in favor of pointing at the runnable examples/ directory. All internal links rewired.

Verification

uv run mkdocs build --strict passes (exit 0, no broken links).

Reframe the README and docs landing around "loop engineering" as the
headline identity: ralphify is the runtime, ralph loops is the open
standard format, and the standard is what makes loops portable. Add a
prominent "What is loop engineering?" section to the landing page and
optimize its title/description/keywords for the term. Rename the five
jobs to "the five jobs of loop engineering" and sharpen the share job
around the standard format.

Cut the docs from nine pages to four (Home, Getting Started, Reference,
Changelog). Fold how-it-works, agents, quick-reference, troubleshooting,
and the Python API into one comprehensive Reference page, and drop the
cookbook page in favor of pointing at the runnable examples/ directory.
Rewire all internal links to the new anchors.
