What problem does it solve?

This skill scaffolds or updates a repo-local Ralph autonomous harness inside your project, enabling unattended orchestration by providing a ready-to-run scripts/ralph setup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scaffolds or updates the repo-local Ralph harness under scripts/ralph/, including templates, executables, and a baseline config.env.
  • Detects available review backends (RepoPrompt/Codex) and prepares the harness to use them, with guidance for opt-in behavior.
  • Keeps the harness in sync with plugin templates and flowctl tooling, supporting fresh installs and updates.

Quick Start

Run flow-next:ralph-init to scaffold or update the repo-local Ralph harness under scripts/ralph/.

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a repo-local Ralph harness for unattended workflow automation?▼

To scaffold a repo-local Ralph harness, run flow-next:ralph-init to generate the scripts/ralph directory structure, copy template files, set executable permissions, and configure config.env for unattended operation.

What review backends does the Ralph harness setup detect and configure?▼

The Ralph harness setup detects available review backends including RepoPrompt and Codex, automatically updating scripts/ralph/config.env to reflect the chosen backends and providing guidance for opt-in behavior during autonomous orchestration.

Do I need flowctl and python3 installed to set up the Ralph autonomous harness?▼

Yes, you need both flowctl and python3 installed as dependencies to scaffold and update the repo-local Ralph autonomous harness, which relies on flowctl tooling to keep templates and executables synchronized.

Can I update an existing Ralph harness instead of creating a fresh install?▼

Yes, the scaffolding process supports both fresh installs and updates, keeping your existing repo-local Ralph harness in sync with the latest plugin templates and flowctl tooling without overwriting your current configuration.

What does the Ralph harness scaffolding process copy into my repository?▼

The scaffolding process copies template files from the templates/ directory into scripts/ralph/, ensures executables are properly set with correct permissions, and generates a baseline config.env for backend configuration.

Why does my Ralph harness config.env need to reflect specific review backends?▼

The config.env file must reflect your chosen review backends because it readies the run workflow for unattended operation, allowing the Ralph autonomous harness to properly interface with detected tools like RepoPrompt or Codex.
