SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Ralph solves the challenge of executing complex, multi-step product work by automatically breaking ideas into atomic tasks and running them in fresh context windows with retry loops and accumulated learnings.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Breaks ideas into atomic implementation tasks and iteratively executes them with independent contexts
  • Auto-retries failed tasks (up to 10 attempts) with structured learnings to improve later attempts
  • Generates a PRD from an initial idea and tracks progress through QA checks and notes
  • Provides escalation notes after repeated failures to surface human intervention needs

Quick Start

Provide a high-level idea and let Ralph produce a PRD, decompose tasks, and begin execution. Example: "Ralph, implement a feature to ...; start with a PRD and break into tasks."

FAQPage Schema
How do I orchestrate multi-step tasks in Claude Code with automatic retries?

Multi-step task orchestration with retries is handled by breaking ideas into atomic tasks and executing them in fresh context windows, auto-retrying failures up to 10 attempts with accumulated learnings.

How do I break a product idea down into atomic tasks and generate a PRD?

To generate a PRD and break a product idea into atomic tasks, provide a high-level idea and the system will produce a PRD, decompose tasks, and begin iterative execution across fresh context windows.

Can I use fresh context windows for each attempt when executing complex workflows?

Yes, fresh context windows are used for each attempt during complex workflow execution, ensuring that every retry operates independently while maintaining structured attempt notes to guide subsequent retries.

What happens when a task repeatedly fails during multi-step task decomposition?

When a task repeatedly fails during multi-step task decomposition, the system enforces a 10-attempt retry limit and provides escalation notes after repeated failures to surface the need for human intervention.

Does task orchestration with iterative retries prioritize speed or quality engineering?

Task orchestration with iterative retries prioritizes quality engineering and reliability over speed, applying structured QA checks and notes to ensure complex multi-step product work meets standards.

Why use structured attempt notes for workflow automation in Claude Code?

Structured attempt notes are used in workflow automation to accumulate learnings from failed attempts, which guides subsequent retries and improves the success rate of complex multi-step tasks.
