ralph

ralph is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Orinks/AccessiWeather. It costs 18 tokens per session (3,511 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for continuing coding tasks through repeated attempts until they meet a stated completion check. It includes task-state handling, examples, and options for working from a product requirements document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for tasks that need persistence across iterations and fresh verification before completion, especially when work may require parallel execution and review.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unfinished work from being treated as complete when tests, edge cases, or required verification were missed.

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 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 4d 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.

[RALPH + ULTRAWORK - ITERATION {{ITERATION}}/{{MAX}}]

Your previous attempt did not output the completion promise. Continue working on the task.

<Use_When>

  • Task requires guaranteed completion with verification (not just "do your best")
  • User says "ralph", "don't stop", "must complete", "finish this", or "keep going until done"
  • Work may span multiple iterations and needs persistence across retries
  • Task benefits from parallel execution with architect sign-off at the end </Use_When>

<Do_Not_Use_When>

  • User wants a full autonomous pipeline from idea to code -- use autopilot instead
  • User wants to explore or plan before committing -- use plan skill instead
  • User wants a quick one-shot fix -- delegate directly to an executor agent
  • User wants manual control over completion -- use ultrawork directly </Do_Not_Use_When>

<Why_This_Exists> Complex tasks often fail silently: partial implementations get declared "done", tests get skipped, edge cases get forgotten. Ralph prevents this by looping until work is genuinely complete, requiring fresh verification evidence before allowing completion, and using tiered architect review to confirm quality. </Why_This_Exists>

<Execution_Policy>

  • Fire independent agent calls simultaneously -- never wait sequentially for independent work
  • Use run_in_background: true for long operations (installs, builds, test suites)
  • Always pass the model parameter explicitly when delegating to agents
  • Read docs/shared/agent-tiers.md before first delegation to select correct agent tiers
  • Deliver the full implementation: no scope reduction, no partial completion, no deleting tests to make them pass
  • Apply the shared workflow guidance pattern: outcome-first framing, concise visible updates for multi-step execution, local overrides for the active workflow branch, validation proportional to risk, explicit stop rules, and automatic continuation for safe reversible steps. Ask only for material, destructive, credentialed, external-production, or preference-dependent branches. </Execution_Policy>

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.

ralph is a skill published in the GitHub repository Orinks/AccessiWeather (24 stars, last pushed 10d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 18 tokens to every session and 3,511 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
