Autonomous "Raph Wiggum" Implementation Loop for VS Code Copilot

I tried a prompt in VC Code Copilot that triggers a "Ralph Wiggum" loop to implement a (hopefully) well crafted, 26 tasks PRD. This is ideal to trigger the implementation after an interactive Plan session with your favorite model.

This is a Proof of Concept on how to use an orchestrator agent that will trigger subagent to implement individual tasks and restart them until all tasks are implemented.

This is a Ralph Wiggum loop, but adapted to VS Code Copilot.

We couldn’t find that file to show.
