ralph-prd is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from joaquimscosta/arkhe-claude-plugins. It costs 63 tokens per session (1,068 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guided setup workflow that creates a Product Requirements Document, or PRD, and task files for the Ralph autonomous development loop. A PRD is a document describing a product's problem, users, and planned features.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to define a problem, audience, features, and technology choices, then create requirements, task lists, settings, and project instructions.
Why use it?
It turns an idea and a set of answers into the files needed to organize work for repeated automated development iterations.

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-prd scanned grade A with 0 findings 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 yesterday.

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.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Ralph PRD Creation

Interactive wizard to create Product Requirements Document and Ralph project setup with task sets.

Quick Start

Discovery Questions

Ask these discovery questions:

  1. Task Set Name - What should this collection be called? (default: "initial")
  2. Problem - What problem are you solving?
  3. Audience - Who is the target user?
  4. Features - What are the 3-5 core features?
  5. Tech Stack - What technologies to use?
  6. Architecture - Monolith, microservices, etc.?
  7. UI/UX - Visual requirements and preferences?
  8. Auth - Authentication needs?
  9. Integrations - Third-party services?
  10. Success Criteria - How do we know it's done?

Question Specificity for Destructive Operations

When discovery questions involve deleting files, removing dependencies, or other destructive changes:

  • Always include full paths of items being deleted or modified
  • State size/scope — file count, line count, component count
  • Explicitly state what will NOT be affected
  • Frame as confirmation, not open question — "Deleting X, Y, Z. Proceed?" not "What should be deleted?"

What ships with it

8 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
