At a glance

Plan work and generate ralph task files for autonomous execution.

  • The user wants to plan tasks
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Fix a batch of issues

What it does

Ralph is an agent skill from opentabs-dev/opentabs. Plan work and generate ralph task files for autonomous execution. Use when the user wants to plan tasks, create a prd, run ralph, or fix a batch of issues. Triggers on: ralph, create tasks, plan this, run ralph, prd.

Its SKILL.md is about 160 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `CLAUDE.md` and `__SKILL__.md`).

It sits in Product & Project Management, covering PRD writing and Browser automation. It works with Model Context Protocol, TypeScript and Chrome Extensions. The repository describes itself as: Browser automation clicks buttons. OpenTabs calls APIs. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user wants to plan tasks
  • Fix a batch of issues

Example prompts

  • “/ralph”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit de9200b. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    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 157 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 56 tokens; SKILL.md has 59 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~56
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~157

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
