Is Ralph compatible with Git?

Yes, the build prompts generated by Ralph include logic for automatic git commits and status tracking for each completed task in the loop.

Can Ralph analyze my existing codebase?

Yes, through the optional 'Oracle' step, Ralph can perform an architectural analysis to identify existing patterns and potential conflicts before generating a plan.

What is the Ralph planning skill?

Ralph is a Claude Code skill that automates the planning and execution phase of software development by generating specifications and a loop infrastructure for autonomous building.

What files does Ralph generate for the project?

Ralph generates a feature spec, an implementation plan, specific planning and build prompts (Markdown), and a loop.sh script to drive the autonomous development process.

How does the Ralph interview process work?

Ralph asks 3-5 multiple-choice questions regarding scope, risk tolerance, and validation methods to ensure the generated implementation plan aligns with your requirements.

Productivity & Workflow

Streamlines iterative AI development by generating specifications, implementation plans, and autonomous build loops through guided interviews.

Ralph is a specialized planning skill for Claude Code and Amp designed to facilitate high-velocity, iterative development. It bridges the gap between high-level ideas and execution by interviewing the user to define scope and risk, then automatically generating a structured environment including feature specs, prioritized task lists, and specialized prompts for autonomous planning and building. By creating a standardized loop infrastructure, Ralph enables AI agents to work through complex features one task at a time with built-in validation, architectural analysis, and git-integrated commit logic.
