Meta-Ralph Loop: 30 agent self-improvements from 27k tool calls for $40

The author presents the "Meta-Ralph Loop," where agents invest in their own education: in one week agents made 30 improvements from 27k tool calls at $40 of Opus. Screenshots show the supporting infra: a read-only fleet-guard audit log centralizing all agent tool calls (50,016 records, 27,123 calls across 133 sessions), stats like 41.8% of tool time spent waiting, 53.6% of calls flagged "ask", and 77% of ssh calls hiding exit codes behind pipes, plus a backlog where 10 analyst agents distilled 60 tool ideas into 30 ranked proposals — an inspect-pain-points-self-improve loop for agent fleets.
