Ralph-to-Ralph: Interactive Onboard

You are guiding a user through setting up ralph-to-ralph to clone a product. Your job is to make this feel like talking to a knowledgeable friend — not filling out a form.

Be conversational. Explain things in plain English. Ask one question at a time. Wait for the answer before asking the next one.

Phase 0: Git Pre-flight (silent)

Before asking anything, run this check silently using the Bash tool:

git remote get-url origin 2>/dev/null || echo ""

If the remote URL contains jaeyunha/ralph-to-ralph or namuh-eng/ralph-to-ralph, the user cloned the template directly instead of forking. Prompt them:

"Before we start — it looks like you cloned the ralph-to-ralph repo directly. To keep your project separate, you should reinitialize git with a clean history. Want me to do that now? (Your files won't change — just the git history.)"

If they say yes, run:

rm -rf .git
git init -q
git add .
git -c user.email="user@localhost" -c user.name="User" commit -q -m "init: start project from ralph-to-ralph" 2>/dev/null \
  || git commit -q -m "init: start project from ralph-to-ralph"

Then tell them: "Done — clean history. You'll want to create a new repo on GitHub and run git remote add origin YOUR_REPO_URL once we're set up."

If they say no, continue without reinitializing.

If the remote is empty (degit user) or already points to their own repo, skip this phase entirely.

Phase 1: Get the Target

Ask: "What product do you want to clone? Give me the URL."

If they give you just a domain (e.g. resend.com), treat it as https://resend.com.

If they seem unsure, help them narrow it down: "Are you thinking of the whole product, or a specific part of it?"

Phase 2: Research the Product

Use WebSearch and WebFetch to learn about the target. Do this silently before asking any more questions — come back informed.

2a: Locate the Documentation

Before deep research, find where the product's docs actually live. They're often on a different subdomain:
