ralph
Create and run Ralph loops for structured AI-driven development. Triggered by "create a ralph loop for X" or "ralph plan for X". Uses interview to clarify requirements, expert review via Ralph wrappers, creates phased task plans, and executes in YOLO mode.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ralph-carmandale-agent-config --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# Ralph Loop Skill Create bulletproof development plans that execute reliably in YOLO mode. ## Trigger Phrases - "create a ralph loop for..." - "ralph plan for..." - "make a ralph loop and start with an interview" - "yolo this feature..." ## The Bulletproof Process ``` 1. RESEARCH - Understand the codebase ↓ 2. INTERVIEW - Gather requirements from user ↓ 3. DESIGN - Create architecture document ↓ 4. EXPERT REVIEW - ralph review design (wrapper) ↓ 5. ORACLE - (if complex) Deep architecture review ↓ 6. CREATE PLAN - Write atomic, complete tasks ↓ 7. PLAN REVIEW - ralph review plan (wrapper) ↓ 8. FINALIZE - User approval ↓ 9. EXECUTE - ralph yolo ↓ 10. POST-REVIEW - ralph review post (wrapper) ``` --- ## Phase 1: RESEARCH (Required) **Before creating ANY interview, understand the codebase.** Start with a canonical template: ```bash ralph scaffold research ``` ### What to Research 1. **Find existing patterns** - How does similar functionality work? 2. **Identify files to modify** - What will change? 3. **Understand the architecture** - Where does this fit? 4. **Note naming conventions** - Match existing style ### Research Commands ```bash # Find relevant files rg -l "keyword" --type sw

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ralph-carmandale-agent-config --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From majiayu000/claude-skill-registry, a repository with 534 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
