ralph-prompt-single-task
Generate Ralph-compatible prompts for single implementation tasks. Creates prompts with clear completion criteria, automatic verification, and TDD approach. Use when creating prompts for bug fixes, single features, refactoring tasks, or any focused implementation that can be completed in one session.
npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ralph-prompt-single-task-adaptationio-skrillz-2 --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 Prompt Generator: Single Task ## Overview Generates well-structured prompts optimized for the Ralph Wiggum technique for single, focused tasks. These prompts include clear completion criteria, automatic verification (tests), self-correction loops, and proper `<promise>` completion tags. **Best For:** - Bug fixes with clear success criteria - Single feature implementations - Refactoring tasks - Adding tests for existing code - Documentation for specific modules - Performance optimizations with measurable targets **Ralph Philosophy**: This generator embraces the principle that failures are deterministic and fixable. Each iteration learns from the previous one. Don't fear failures—they're expected and provide data for improvement through prompt tuning. ## Quick Start **Input Required:** 1. Task description (what needs to be done) 2. Success criteria (how to verify completion) 3. Completion promise text (the phrase that signals done) **Generate prompt with:** ``` Generate a Ralph prompt for: [task description] Success criteria: [how to verify] Promise: [completion phrase] ``` ## Prompt Generation Workflow ### Step 1: Analyze the Task Identify these elements: - **Action**: What

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill ralph-prompt-single-task-adaptationio-skrillz-2 --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.
