About the project

Ralph Orchestrator is a framework that repeatedly runs AI-agent tasks until they finish or reach an iteration limit. Developers use it to coordinate autonomous coding work through command-line, web-dashboard, and MCP-server interfaces, with state managed per workspace. The catalogue entries provide agent skills, agents, instructions, and plugins for operating Ralph.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

  • high Tool Misuse · line 54
    Tool parameters are crafted to achieve unintended or unsafe behavior. Parameter abuse can bypass intended safety checks (e.g. shell=True, --force, dangerous glob patterns).
    Fix: Validate all tool parameters against an allowlist. Reject dangerous parameter values (shell=True, --force, -rf /) and use safe defaults.

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

tui-debug-in-pane 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 12d 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.

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.

tui-debug-in-pane

Debug TUI rendering bugs by launching ralph in a tmux split pane and capturing live output. The split keeps your main pane free for inspection commands.

When to Use

  • Reproducing garbled or corrupted TUI output from a specific provider
  • Investigating streaming rendering issues that only appear live
  • Capturing TUI state for bug reports or diagnostics

Quick Reference

Task Command
Identify current pane tmux display-message -p '#{session_name}:#{window_index}.#{pane_index}'
Create split pane tmux split-window -h -t SESSION:WINDOW -c /path/to/repo
List panes tmux list-panes -t SESSION:WINDOW
Fix shell in pane tmux send-keys -t PANE "exec /path/to/fish" Enter
Send command tmux send-keys -t PANE "command" Enter
Capture output tmux capture-pane -t PANE -p -S -60
Quit TUI tmux send-keys -t PANE q
Force stop tmux send-keys -t PANE C-c
Kill split pane tmux kill-pane -t PANE

Procedure

1. Create the Split Pane

tmux display-message -p '#{session_name}:#{window_index}.#{pane_index}'
tmux split-window -h -t SESSION:WINDOW -c /path/to/repo
tmux list-panes -t SESSION:WINDOW

2. Fix Shell Environment

Split panes inherit the tmux server's default shell (bash), not the parent's. Tools like pi need fish (mise/Node).

tmux send-keys -t PANE "exec /nix/store/km9w9r1p4nl92y5fp4vfwsjymjig4axl-fish-3.7.1/bin/fish" Enter
tmux send-keys -t PANE "which pi && pi --version" Enter

3. Clean Up Before Running

rm -f .ralph/loop.lock
git worktree prune

4. Launch Ralph

# Prefer release binary (faster startup)
tmux send-keys -t PANE "target/release/ralph run -c CONFIG.yml -p 'prompt' --max-iterations N" Enter

# Or with cargo (must specify --bin for this workspace)
tmux send-keys -t PANE "cargo run --bin ralph -- run -c CONFIG.yml -p 'prompt' --max-iterations N" Enter

5. Capture and Analyze

sleep 20  # Pi/Kiro take 15-30s to start streaming
tmux capture-pane -t PANE -p -S -60
ls -lt .ralph/diagnostics/logs/ | head -5

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.
