SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Autonomous execution of Beads epics by dispatching fresh subagents per task, with two-stage review gates and circuit-breaker safety to prevent runaway workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

Fresh per-task subagents to maintain isolated context and parallelism when appropriate.
Two-stage review gates (spec compliance and code quality) to ensure quality and alignment.
Circuit breaker safeguards, task status logging, and progress notifications for auditable execution.
Session markers, start/stop signals, and phase management to enable checkpointing and phase advancement.

Quick Start

Initiate Ralph Execute after creating a Beads epic to start autonomous task processing.

FAQPage Schema

How do I automate autonomous execution of multi-task workflows with safety gates?▼

Automating autonomous execution of multi-task workflows involves dispatching fresh subagents per task and enforcing safety gates. This process uses iterative planning and two-stage reviews to ensure quality and compliance while preventing runaway workflows.

What is a two-stage review gate in subagent orchestration?▼

A two-stage review gate in subagent orchestration is a safety mechanism that checks both spec compliance and code quality. It ensures that independently dispatched subagents produce work aligned with the original requirements before phase advancement.

How do I prevent runaway workflows during long-running automation tasks?▼

Preventing runaway workflows during long-running automation tasks requires circuit-breaker safeguards. The system enforces safety gates, manages task status logging, and handles escalations to stop uncontrolled execution and maintain auditable progress.

Can I use subagent orchestration for independent parallel task processing?▼

Yes, subagent orchestration supports independent parallel task processing by dispatching fresh subagents per task. This maintains isolated context for each subagent, ensuring that iterative planning and execution do not suffer from context bleed.

How do I track progress and manage phase state in automated task lifecycle management?▼

Tracking progress in automated task lifecycle management uses session markers, phase state management, and ntfy-based progress notifications. This combination enables checkpointing, start and stop signals, and in_progress updates for auditable execution.

Do I need a pre-existing Beads epic to start autonomous task processing?▼

Yes, you need a pre-existing Beads epic containing multiple tasks to start autonomous task processing. The orchestration system applies its subagent dispatching and two-stage review gates to epics that require iterative planning and execution.
