  • Works in 3 steps: Understand the Feature → Create prd.json → Run the Loop
  • Asked to use ralph
  • SKILL.md covers Quick Start, Workflow, Critical Rules for User Stories and Example, plus 2 more sections
  • Runs Shell scripts from its folder

What it does

Ralph is an agent skill from julianromli/opencode-template. Autonomous agent loop for completing features. Use when asked to 'use ralph', 'ralph this', or to autonomously implement a feature end-to-end. Creates prd.json with user stories, then executes them one by one until complete.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/prompt.md` and `scripts/ralph.sh`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering User stories, PRD writing and Autonomous loops. The repository describes itself as: OpenCode CLI Template by @faizntfd.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to use ralph
  • Autonomously implement a feature end-to-end

Example prompts

  • “use ralph”
  • “ralph this”
  • “/ralph”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Understand the Feature
  2. Create prd.json
  3. Run the Loop

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 37ceab2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ralph loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 338 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 338 words (~1,089 tokens).

“Ralph is an autonomous loop that implements features by breaking them into small user stories and completing them one at a time. Each iteration is a fresh agent with clean context. Memory persists via git, progress.txt, and prd.json.”
