# Ralph Ralph is a PRD-driven persistence loop that keeps working on a task until ALL user stories have `passes: true` and are reviewer-verified. ## When to Use - Task requires guaranteed completion with verification - Work may span multiple iterations and needs persistence - Task benefits from structured PRD-driven execution ## When NOT to Use - Full autonomous pipeline → use `/omg-autopilot` - Explore or plan before committing → use `/plan` - Quick one-shot fix → delegate to @executor ## Flags - `--no-prd`: Skip PRD generation, work in legacy mode (for trivial fixes) - `--no-deslop`: Skip the mandatory post-review cleanup pass ## Steps ### 1. PRD Setup (first iteration) - Check if `.omc/prd.json` exists via `omg_read_prd` - If none exists, generate a PRD scaffold with task-specific acceptance criteria - **CRITICAL**: Replace generic criteria with specific, testable ones - Initialize progress tracking ### 2. Pick Next Story - Read PRD via `omg_read_prd` - Select highest-priority story with `passes: false` ### 3. Implement Current Story - Delegate to @executor at appropriate complexity level - If sub-tasks are discovered, add as new stories to PRD ### 4. Verify Acceptance Criteria - For EACH criterion, verify with fresh evidence - Run relevant checks (test, build, lint, typecheck) - If any criterion NOT met, continue working ### 5. Mark Story Complete - Set `passes: true` via `omg_update_story` - Record progress in `progress.txt` ### 6. Check PRD Completion - Call `omg_check_completion` - If NOT all complete, loop to Step 2 - If ALL complete, proceed to verification ### 7. Reviewer Verification - @verifier checks against specific acceptance criteria from PRD - @architect reviews for architectural soundness ### 7.5 Mandatory Cleanup Pass - Unless `--no-deslop`, run `/ai-slop-cleaner` on changed files only ### 7.6 Regression Re-verification - Re-run all tests after cleanup pass - Only proceed after regression tests pass ### 8. Completion - On approval: run `/cancel` for clean exit - On rejection: fix issues, re-verify, loop back ## Execution Policy - Fire independent tasks simultaneously - Run builds/tests in background - Deliver full implementation: no scope reduction, no partial completion ## Checklist - [ ] All PRD stories have `passes: true` - [ ] Acceptance criteria are task-specific (not generic) - [ ] All requirements met (no scope reduction) - [ ] Fresh test output shows all tests pass - [ ] Reviewer verification passed - [ ] Cleanup pass completed (or `--no-deslop`) - [ ] Post-cleanup regression tests pass
