Ralph - PRD-Driven Development CLI for AI Coding Agents Stop babysitting agents

Ralph implements entire projects while you sleep.

Ship features faster with AI that actually finishes the job

Ralph orchestrates AI coding agents to complete entire features from your requirements—not just one file at a time.

PRD-Driven Workflow

Write your requirements once. Ralph works through each task systematically while you focus on other work—no babysitting required.

Session Memory

Ralph learns from each task. If you prefer Zod for validation or Tailwind for styling, it remembers and applies those choices automatically.

Long-Running Sessions

Close your laptop mid-feature. Ralph picks up exactly where it left off—even days later.

Task Decomposition

Give Ralph a complex feature. It breaks the work into steps and executes them one by one—like a senior developer would.

Verification & Retries

Ralph tests its own work after each task. If tests fail or the build breaks, it fixes the issue and tries again—up to 3 times.

GitHub Integration

When a feature is complete, Ralph creates a PR with a detailed description of what changed and why.
