Ratchet: An AI Delivery Loop That Can Only Move Forward
Ratchet is an AI-powered delivery loop concept designed to ensure continuous forward progress in software development and deployment. Unlike traditional workflows that can regress or stall, Ratchet uses LLMs to incrementally improve code quality, fix bugs, and add features while preventing any step from moving backward. This creates a one-way ratcheting mechanism that steadily improves the codebase over time.
