ralph-orchestrator

ralph-orchestrator is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cfircoo/claude-code-toolkit. It costs 49 tokens per session (2,954 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A coordinator for taking a software idea from requirements gathering through a written product plan and delegated implementation and testing. A PRD is a detailed document describing what a product should do.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to clarify requirements, create a PRD, turn that plan into small user stories, and coordinate coding and test-writing agents.
Why use it?
It organizes complex development work into smaller decisions and tasks, while keeping implementation and testing assigned to separate agents.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: model in frontmatter; reads .claude/ paths; mentions subagents.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

ralph-orchestrator scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 294 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

  1. spec-interview → Gather comprehensive requirements through guided discovery
  2. generate-prd → Create actionable Product Requirements Document
  3. ralph-convert-prd → Transform PRD into atomic user stories (prd.json)
  4. Subagent execution → Spawn ralph-coder/ralph-tester subagents via Task tool

This skill coordinates these tools while keeping you in control at decision points.

<essential_principles>

ALL code implementation MUST happen through subagents — ralph-coder implements production code, ralph-tester writes tests and verifies. You are the orchestrator, NOT the implementer. Do not write code, create files, modify source files, or make any project changes directly.

If you catch yourself about to write code or modify project files: STOP. Spawn a subagent instead.

Do NOT try to fix issues yourself, retry automatically, or continue past errors. Present the error clearly to the user and wait for their instructions.

This maximizes throughput while maintaining correct dependency ordering.

Separation gives each agent a focused context window. The orchestrator wraps ANY agent with Ralph context (story spec, return format, constraints) so even non-Ralph agents integrate seamlessly.

This lets users configure best-practice agents for their stack, and Ralph automatically uses them.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
