Guides implementation of code tasks using test-driven development in an Explore, Plan, Code, Commit workflow. Acts as a Technical Implementation Partner and TDD Coach — following existing patterns, avoiding over-engineering, and producing idiomatic, modern code.

English

Generates structured .code-task.md files from descriptions or PDD implementation plans. Auto-detects input type, creates properly formatted tasks with Given-When-Then acceptance criteria.

English

Use when testing Ralph's hat collection presets, validating preset configurations, or auditing the preset library for bugs and UX issues.

English

Lists all code tasks in the repository with their status, dates, and metadata. Useful for getting an overview of pending work or finding specific tasks.

English

Use when creating animated demos (GIFs) for pull requests or documentation. Covers terminal recording with asciinema and conversion to GIF/SVG for GitHub embedding.

English

Plan and configure ralph-orchestrator deployments for projects at any stage — from a vague phase plan to a mature codebase. Use this skill whenever the user wants to set up ralph for a new project, choose between deployment topologies (direct, Claude+MCP, multi-project supervisor), pick the right config for their project's maturity, run oneshot autonomous builds, or manage multiple concurrent ralph loops across tmux sessions. Also use when the user asks "how should I run ralph on this?", mentions phase plans, or wants to configure cost budgets, hat workflows, or guardrails for a specific project type.

English

Introspect, explain, and improve Ralph Orchestrator using its published llms.txt doc map. Use this skill whenever the user asks questions about Ralph's behavior, wants to understand how a Ralph internal works (event loop, hats, memories, tasks, backends, presets), debug an unfamiliar failure mode, or propose a code change to the ralph-orchestrator repo. The skill teaches the agent to discover authoritative answers from the live docs via llms.txt before guessing, and to scope improvements through the published architecture rather than the local checkout alone.

English

Create, inspect, validate, explain, and improve Ralph hat collections. Use this skill whenever the user asks to make or refine a .ralph/hats/.yml workflow, debug hat routing, explain event topology, or tune a multi-hat Ralph run.

English

Interactive terminal control via tmux for TUI apps, prompts, and long-running CLI workflows.

English

Use when you need to reproduce or debug TUI rendering issues (garbled output, broken streaming, layout corruption) by running ralph in a tmux split pane and capturing live output.

English

Validates Terminal User Interface (TUI) output using freeze for screenshot capture and LLM-as-judge for semantic validation. Supports both visual (PNG/SVG) and text-based validation modes.

English

Includes Code Assist, Code Task Generator, Evaluate Presets, and other workflows.
