What it does
Ralplan is an agent skill from zereight/gitlab-mcp. Consensus planning with Planner/Architect/Critic iterative loop. Activate when user says: ralplan, consensus plan, consensus planning.
Its SKILL.md is about 370 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Agent Workflows. The repository describes itself as: First gitlab mcp for you, building together. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Consensus planning
Example prompts
- “/ralplan”
Workflow steps
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- @planner creates initial plan with RALPLAN-DR summary
- @architect reviews for architectural soundness
- @critic validates quality and testability
- Loop until critic approves (max 5 iterations)
- Final plan includes ADR (Decision, Drivers, Alternatives, Why chosen, Consequences)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0109168. 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
Ralplan loads about 365 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 153 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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.

- ralplan
- description
- Consensus planning with Planner/Architect/Critic iterative loop. Activate when user says: ralplan, consensus plan, consensus planning.
- argument-hint
- [--deliberate] <task description>
Ralplan (Consensus Planning)
Shorthand for /plan --consensus. Triggers iterative planning with Planner, Architect, and Critic agents until consensus is reached.
Flags
--deliberate: Forces deliberate mode for high-risk work. Adds pre-mortem (3 scenarios) and expanded test planning.
Workflow
- @planner creates initial plan with RALPLAN-DR summary:
- Principles (3-5)
- Decision Drivers (top 3)
- Viable Options (>=2) with pros/cons
- @architect reviews for architectural soundness
- @critic validates quality and testability
- Loop until critic approves (max 5 iterations)
- Final plan includes ADR (Decision, Drivers, Alternatives, Why chosen, Consequences)
Pre-Execution Gate
Vague execution requests (e.g., "ralph improve the app") are redirected through ralplan first to ensure explicit scope, testable criteria, and multi-agent consensus.
Passes gate (specific enough): prompts with file paths, function names, issue numbers, numbered steps, or acceptance criteria.
Gated (needs scoping): prompts with only vague descriptions and no concrete anchors.
After Approval
- Execute via
/team(parallel agents, recommended) or/ralph(sequential with verification)
