Ship stories with Ralph

# Ralph  Ralph is a minimal, file‑based agent loop for autonomous coding. Each iteration starts fresh, reads the same on‑disk state, and commits work for one story at a time. ## How it works Ralph treats files and git as memory, not the model context: - PRD (JSON) defines stories, gates, and status - Loop executes one story per iteration - State persists in .ralph/  ## Global CLI (recommended) Install and run Ralph from anywhere: bash npm i -g @iannuttall/ralph ralph prd # launches an interactive prompt ralph build 1 # one Ralph run ### Template hierarchy Ralph will look for templates in this order: 1. .agents/ralph/ in the current project (if present) 2. Bundled defaults shipped with this repo State and logs always go to .ralph/ in the project. ### Install templates into a project (optional overrides) bash ralph install This creates .agents/ralph/ in the current repo so you can customize prompts and loop behavior. During install, you’ll be asked if you want to add the required skills. ### Install required skills (optional) bash ralph install --skills You’ll be prom Cap the run at 25 iterations; leave remaining work for the next session.
