The cast of subagents the Ralph loop dispatches to build one backlog issue per tick. The conductor is the main Ralph session (.claude/commands/ralph-tick.md → scripts/ralph/PROMPT.md); it spawns every agent below via the Agent tool. The chief-architect is the strategic brain (plans + a dispatch list); the specialists…
Strategic brain of a Ralph tick. Select to architect a single backlog issue: read the issue + house rules, decide the design approach, and produce an ordered dispatch plan naming which specialists the conductor should invoke (test, implementation, security, performance, documentation, dependency). Plans; never writes…
Gate 2.5 — the pre-push self-review. Routes a working-tree diff to the relevant specialist reviewers (test, implementation, security, performance, documentation, dependency) and returns one consolidated, deduplicated, severity-ranked findings report so the conductor fixes slop before it ever reaches CI or the PR.
Read-only review of dependency changes — version pinning, lockfile integrity, transitive conflicts, license compatibility, dev/prod separation. Select when a change touches pyproject.toml or uv.lock (creek-tools/ or crawdad/). Reports findings; does not edit code.
Writes and updates documentation for a change — Python docstrings (interrogate ≥95%), README/module docs, and ADRs. Select when the chief-architect flags a docs gap (new public API or changed behavior), and as the documentation-dimension reviewer. Docs must match the implementation exactly.
Gate 1 GREEN + Refactor — writes the production code that makes the failing tests pass at threshold quality, then refactors. Select for implementing a planned change (pipeline stages, CLI commands, MCP tools — per shared/house-rules.md's stack) and as the correctness/maintainability reviewer. The core code-quality…
Profiles and optimizes performance-sensitive code — O(n²) pairwise link passes, embedding/LLM API call volume, memory at 35k-fragment scale, algorithmic complexity. Select when the chief-architect flags a performance risk, and as the performance-dimension reviewer. Measure first; never trade correctness for speed.
One parallel worker of the Ralph fleet. Select to drive a SINGLE assigned backlog issue through Gates 1–2.5 and open its PR, working entirely inside a dedicated git worktree so it never collides with sibling workers. It is the per-issue conductor (spawns chief-architect + specialists per scripts/ralph/PROMPT.md); it…
Hardens and audits security-sensitive code — MCP transport auth (bearer tokens), secrets, input validation on ingest parsers, vault path traversal, subprocess use, the redaction pipeline, file/network I/O. Select when the chief-architect flags a security risk, and as the security-dimension reviewer. Applies the repo…
Gate 1 RED — writes the failing tests that specify a behavior before it exists, per the chief-architect's test strategy. Select for TDD test authoring and as the test-dimension reviewer (coverage, assertions, edge/error cases). Pytest with the repo's conftest.py fixtures and integration/e2e markers, per…
Reviews dependency management, version pinning, environment reproducibility, and license compatibility. Select for requirements.txt, pixi.toml, and dependency conflict resolution.
Level 2 orchestrator. Coordinates comprehensive code reviews across all dimensions by routing PR changes to appropriate specialist reviewers. Select when PR analysis and specialist coordination required.
Level 3 Component Specialist. Select for test planning and TDD coordination. Creates comprehensive test plans, defines test cases, specifies coverage.
