Does this skill handle git operations automatically?

Yes, Smart Ralph can automatically create feature branches and commit specification files before implementation starts, though these behaviors are fully configurable via flags.

How does Quick Mode differ from Normal Mode?

Quick Mode skips interactive prompts and artifact reviews to start execution immediately, whereas Normal Mode requires user approval between research, design, and implementation phases.

What happens if a task fails multiple times?

Smart Ralph uses a 'max-task-iterations' argument (defaulting to 5) to attempt retries. If the limit is reached, it halts execution and provides a failure report for manual intervention.

What is the Ralph Wiggum loop in Smart Ralph?

The Ralph Wiggum loop is an autonomous execution pattern that processes tasks sequentially, verifying outcomes and retrying failed steps until the entire objective is achieved.

Orchestrates spec-driven development and autonomous task execution loops for structured AI coding workflows.

Smart Ralph is the foundational skill for the Ralph plugin ecosystem, enabling a robust specification-to-implementation workflow within Claude Code. It streamlines complex development tasks by combining structured research phases with the 'Ralph Wiggum' execution loop, ensuring every code change is grounded in a clear design. By managing state across requirements, design, and execution phases, Smart Ralph allows developers to choose between high-oversight interactive modes or fully automated 'quick' modes, providing a reliable framework for autonomous agents to build, verify, and refine software features.
