SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the setup of the Ralph autonomous AI coding loop, allowing you to define features and have AI agents implement them iteratively.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Autonomous Coding Loop Setup: Creates the necessary directory structure and configuration files for Ralph.
  • Interactive PRD Brainstorming: Helps you define your feature requirements through guided conversation.
  • User Story Generation: Transforms your Product Requirements Document (PRD) into actionable user stories for the AI.
  • Use Case: You have a new feature idea, "Implement user authentication." You run /setup-ralph -i, brainstorm the PRD with the AI, define user stories, and then get the command to start Ralph, which will handle the coding.

Quick Start

Run /setup-ralph -i to interactively set up Ralph for a new feature.

FAQPage Schema
How do I set up an autonomous AI coding loop for feature development?

To establish an autonomous coding loop, this Skill automatically generates the required directory structure, configuration files, and core scripts needed for AI-driven feature implementation. It facilitates iterative coding by helping you define features through guided conversation.

What is the best way to turn a Product Requirements Document into user stories for AI?

Transforming a PRD into user stories is handled by an interactive setup process that converts your Product Requirements Document into structured, actionable items. This prepares your requirements specifically for AI-driven feature implementation.

Can I interactively brainstorm a PRD before generating user stories?

Yes, interactive PRD brainstorming is supported before generating user stories. The setup process includes guided conversation to help you define your feature requirements, which are then automatically transformed into structured user stories for the AI.

What configuration files are needed to start autonomous AI feature development?

Starting autonomous AI feature development requires configuration files such as ralph.sh, prompt.md, PRD.md, prd.json, and progress.txt. These files manage the core scripts, requirements, and iterative progress tracking within the project directory.

Does autonomous AI coding work without manual project path resolution?

Autonomous AI coding requires project path resolution, which this setup automates. It manages project path resolution and feature directory creation to ensure the AI loop executes correctly within your specified project structure.
