SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenge of clearly defining project requirements for AI-driven development, ensuring that AI agents like Ralph have a structured and actionable plan to follow.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • PRD Generation: Creates a comprehensive Product Requirements Document (PRD) with problem statements, goals, acceptance criteria, and technical constraints.
  • Goal-Driven Iteration: Sets up a clear definition of done for AI agents, enabling iterative development until all criteria are met.
  • Use Case: Kickstart a new feature development by having Ralph-init generate a PRD based on a brief description, then use Ralph to implement it.

Quick Start

Use the ralph-init skill to create a PRD for a new user authentication system.

FAQPage Schema
How do I structure project requirements for AI-driven development loops?

To structure project requirements for AI-driven development, you need a Product Requirements Document (PRD) that defines problem statements, objectives, acceptance criteria, and technical constraints to guide AI agents.

What is a PRD and how does it support goal-driven iteration?

A Product Requirements Document (PRD) is a structured plan defining problem statements and acceptance criteria. It supports goal-driven iteration by providing AI agents a clear definition of done to verify project completion.

Can I generate a Product Requirements Document from a brief feature description?

Yes, you can generate a comprehensive Product Requirements Document from a brief feature description. The PRD initialization translates your brief input into structured goals, acceptance criteria, and technical constraints.

How do I set acceptance criteria and technical constraints for AI agents?

You set acceptance criteria and technical constraints for AI agents by initializing a PRD. This document explicitly outlines the definition of done, enabling AI agents to execute tasks and verify completion iteratively.

Does ralph-init work without external dependencies to define a project plan?

Yes, ralph-init works without external dependencies to define a project plan. It independently initializes the PRD structure needed to facilitate structured planning for AI agents to execute.

When do I need a PRD for AI development and what are its limitations?

You need a PRD for AI development when kickstarting a new feature requiring structured planning and clear definition of done. Its limitation is that it only initializes requirements and does not implement the code itself.
