SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Automates the generation of a PROMPT.md and the start of the Ralph autonomous loop for PRD-driven workflows, reducing manual setup steps.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate PROMPT.md from PRD.json to drive the autonomous loop.
  • Initialize progress tracking and validate pre-flight prerequisites before launch.
  • Launch the loop with a single confirmation using the rx command, ensuring safe, idempotent operations.

Quick Start

Generate PROMPT.md and start the Ralph loop by confirming to run rx.

Frequently Asked Questions about ralph-launch

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate PROMPT.md from PRD.json for an autonomous workflow?

To generate PROMPT.md from PRD.json, use an automated pre-flight check process that validates your repository state and initializes progress tracking before launching the autonomous workflow loop.

What prerequisites do I need to start an autonomous loop from a PRD file?

Starting an autonomous loop requires a repository containing a PRD.json file, a clean git state, and at least one pending story to ensure the workflow has valid tasks to process.

How does an autonomous loop ensure safe git operations before execution?

An autonomous loop ensures safe git operations by enforcing pre-flight checks that verify a clean git state and require explicit user confirmation before executing the launch command.

Can I run the autonomous loop launch command without manual confirmation?

No, you cannot run the launch command without manual confirmation. The workflow enforces idempotent behavior and requires explicit user approval before executing the rx command.

What is the purpose of initializing progress.txt in a PRD-driven workflow?

Initializing progress.txt in a PRD-driven workflow tracks the execution status of pending stories, ensuring the autonomous loop maintains state and operates safely across multiple iterations.
