smart-ralph
This skill should be used when the user asks about "ralph arguments", "quick mode", "commit spec", "max iterations", "ralph state file", "execution modes", "ralph loop", "coordinator behavior", "delegate to subagent", or needs guidance on Ralph plugin arguments, state management, delegation patterns, or execution loop behavior. Core behavioral skill for all Ralph Specum operations.

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.
# Smart Ralph Core skill for all Ralph plugins. Defines common arguments, execution modes, shared behaviors, and coordinator delegation rules. ## Common Arguments All Ralph commands support these standard arguments: | Argument | Short | Description | Default | |----------|-------|-------------|---------| | `--quick` | `-q` | Skip interactive phases, auto-generate artifacts, start execution immediately | false | | `--commit` | `-c` | Commit and push spec/feature files after generation | true (normal), false (quick) | | `--no-commit` | | Explicitly disable committing files | - | | `--max-task-iterations` | `-m` | Max retries per failed task before stopping | 5 | | `--fresh` | `-f` | Force new spec/feature, overwrite if exists | false | Argument precedence: `--no-commit` > `--commit` > mode default. ## Execution Modes ### Normal Mode (Interactive) - User reviews artifacts between phases - Phase transitions require explicit commands - Each phase sets `awaitingApproval: true` - Commits spec files by default ### Quick Mode (`--quick`) - Skip all interactive prompts, interviews, and approval pauses - Run the same phase agents (research, requirements, design, tasks) sequentially - Agents r

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add majiayu000/claude-skill-registry --skill smart-ralph --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.
