What happens if a subagent gets stuck on a feature?

Ralph uses a 'fail forward' strategy. If a feature fails implementation, testing, or review more than three times, Ralph logs a detailed blocker file, moves it to a blocked state, and proceeds to the next planned feature.

How do I review the work Ralph completed?

When the run finishes, Ralph generates a final report that summarizes completed features, lists any blocked tasks with links to their failure logs, and details the results of end-to-end workflow tests.

Do I need to be present while Ralph is running?

No. Ralph is designed for autonomous execution while the human developer is away. It performs a strict pre-flight check before you leave to ensure everything is configured correctly, then handles the rest.

How does Ralph Execute prevent context window issues?

Ralph acts as a high-level manager that spawns specialized subagents for specific tasks. Each subagent starts with a fresh context window, which prevents the shortcuts and code degradation often seen when a single AI session becomes too long.

Productivity & Workflow

Orchestrates autonomous subagents to implement, test, and review software features without human supervision.

Ralph Execute acts as the autonomous management layer (System 3) for the Feature Tree ecosystem, specifically designed for 'overnight' or long-duration development cycles. By delegating focused tasks to fresh subagents, it prevents the performance degradation typically caused by context window saturation. Ralph maintains the high-level project vision, managing a rigorous loop of implementation, automated testing, and code review. It identifies blockers early via pre-flight checks and provides a detailed summary report upon completion, ensuring developers return to a functional codebase or clear, actionable feedback.
