What happens if a validation check fails?

The skill triggers an automated debug loop, spawning a debugger agent to identify and fix root causes. It will attempt up to three automated fixes before escalating to the user for guidance.

How does the multi-agent system work?

The orchestrator manages the high-level workflow and spawns fresh sub-agents (Executor, Validator, Debugger) for specific tasks to ensure each phase has maximum context availability and specialized instructions.

Does Ralph PIV handle git commits?

Yes, once a phase passes validation, the orchestrator automatically performs a smart semantic commit (e.g., feat/fix/refactor) and updates your workflow documentation.

Do I need to have a PRD ready to use this skill?

No. If no Product Requirements Document (PRD) is found, Ralph PIV enters Discovery Mode to help you generate one through a conversational interview process.

What does PIV stand for?

PIV stands for Plan-Implement-Validate, the three core stages of this skill's development methodology designed for reliable solo AI development.

生产力与工作流

Implements a structured Plan-Implement-Validate workflow for autonomous software development using specialized sub-agents.

Ralph PIV is a sophisticated workflow orchestrator for Claude Code designed to minimize context bloat while maximizing execution quality for solo developers. By following a strict Plan-Implement-Validate (PIV) cycle, it guides the AI through discovery, requirement documentation (PRD), detailed phase planning (PRP), and rigorous independent validation. The skill automatically spawns specialized sub-agents for research, coding, and testing, ensuring each task is handled with fresh context and specific instructions, ultimately delivering production-ready code with automated semantic commits and workflow tracking.
