ralph-sprint

ralph-sprint is a skill for Codex from zacharygcook/agent-skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (383 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning tool that turns a repository specification into one reviewable sprint. A sprint is a bounded piece of work, divided into sequential chunks with acceptance checks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create or validate sprint plans, chunk definitions, prompts, scratchpad notes, and the selected current sprint. It prepares the work but does not run the autonomous loop.
Why use it?
It prevents an agent from starting an oversized or speculative task. It also repairs incomplete sprint setup and records the exact files, risks, and checks needed before execution.

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-sprint 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

Ralph Sprint

Prepare exactly one reviewable sprint and stop before execution.

  1. Read repository agent instructions, the durable SPEC.md or equivalent, .ralph/config.env, and all existing sprint state.
  2. If the current sprint is incomplete or its hooks failed, repair or resume it instead of creating a competing sprint.
  3. Select the next dependency-ordered slice of the spec. Do not create speculative future sprint folders.
  4. Create or validate README.md, IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md, relevant-specs.md, chunks.json, prompt.md, and SCRATCHPAD.md under .ralph/sprints/<number-name>/. In prompt.md, refer to every sprint file with its repository-root-relative .ralph/sprints/<number-name>/... path because the harness starts at the repository or orchestration root.
  5. Keep chunks sequential and bounded. Give each concrete acceptance criteria, accurate artifact paths, and repository ownership in multi-repo mode.
  6. Set CURRENT_SPRINT, run just validate when available, and repair every setup defect.
  7. Summarize the goal, chunks, validation, risks, and operator review path. Do not run just run.

When installed beside $ralph-loop, its references/spec-breakdown.md, references/sprint.md, and references/chunks.md provide the complete shared contract. Preserve those invariants even when the umbrella skill is unavailable.

Files

What ships with it

2 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.
