FAQPage Schema
How do I initialize project scaffolding for a new workflow?

To initialize project scaffolding, run /ralph-init to bootstrap the workflow by creating RALPH.md configuration and starter templates. This one-time command prepares essential directories and scripts for immediate use.

What is a project initialization workflow and when do I need it?

A project initialization workflow scaffolds essential configuration files like RALPH.md and starter templates. You need this process when starting a project from scratch to guide PRD planning and sprint scaffolding.

Can I scaffold templates into an existing project directory?

Yes, you can scaffold templates into an existing project directory. Running /ralph-init creates the RALPH.md configuration and prepares the scripts/ralph directory without overwriting existing project files.

Do I need any dependencies to bootstrap project setup?

No dependencies are required to bootstrap project setup. The initialization runs standalone to create the RALPH.md configuration, essential directories, and optional resources directly in your current project.

What's the best way to start PRD planning and sprint scaffolding?

The best way to start PRD planning and sprint scaffolding is running /ralph-init. This creates the RALPH.md configuration and starter templates, guiding the initialization process for immediate workflow use.

Why is my project initialization not creating the expected template files?

Project initialization may not create template files if the one-time bootstrap has already run. The /ralph-init command scaffolds RALPH.md and starter templates once, preventing duplicate configuration on subsequent runs.
