## Introduction

Ralph Orchestrator is a robust, Rust-based framework designed for autonomous AI agent orchestration. It implements the innovative "Ralph Wiggum technique," a methodology focused on continuous iteration to ensure AI agents complete complex tasks effectively. This tool empowers developers to manage and automate AI workflows, providing a structured approach to agent-driven development.

## Why Use It and Key Benefits

Ralph Orchestrator stands out with its comprehensive feature set, making it an invaluable asset for AI development:

*   **Autonomous Task Completion:** At its core, Ralph utilizes the "Ralph Wiggum technique" to keep AI agents in a persistent loop, iterating until a task is fully accomplished, ensuring thoroughness and reliability.
*   **Multi-Backend Support:** It offers broad compatibility with various AI coding assistants, including Claude Code, Kiro, Gemini CLI, Codex, Forge, Amp, Copilot CLI, OpenCode, Pi, Roo, and OMP.
*   **Hat System:** The framework employs a "hat system" where specialized personas, such as `code-assist`, `debug`, `research`, `review`, and `pdd-to-code-assist`, coordinate through events to execute multi-step tasks efficiently.
*   **Backpressure Gates:** To maintain quality, Ralph includes backpressure mechanisms that reject incomplete work based on criteria like failing tests, linting errors, or type-checking issues.
*   **Memories & Tasks:** It supports persistent learning and runtime work tracking, allowing agents to build on past experiences and manage ongoing tasks effectively.
*   **RObot (Human-in-the-Loop):** Integrate human intelligence into the loop via Telegram. Agents can ask questions and pause for human input, while humans can provide proactive guidance at any stage of the orchestration.
*   **Web Dashboard (Alpha):** An intuitive web dashboard is available for monitoring and managing orchestration loops, providing real-time visibility into agent activities.

## Installation

Getting started with Ralph Orchestrator is straightforward. Choose your preferred installation method:

### Via npm (Recommended)

bash
npm install -g @ralph-orchestrator/ralph-cli


### Via GitHub Releases installer

bash
curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -LsSf \
  https://github.com/mikeyobrien/ralph-orchestrator/releases/latest/download/ralph-cli-installer.sh | sh


### Via Cargo

bash
cargo install ralph-cli


## Examples

Here are some quick examples to get you started with Ralph Orchestrator:

### Quick Start Workflow

bash
# 1. Initialize Ralph with your preferred backend
ralph init --backend claude

# 2. Plan your feature (interactive PDD session)
ralph plan "Add user authentication with JWT"
# Creates: .ralph/specs/user-authentication/requirements.md, design.md, implementation-plan.md

# 3. Implement the feature
ralph run -p "Implement the feature in .ralph/specs/user-authentication/"


Ralph iterates until it outputs `LOOP_COMPLETE` or hits the iteration limit.

### Simpler Tasks

For simpler tasks, you can skip the planning phase and run directly:

bash
ralph run -p "Add input validation to the /users endpoint"


### RObot (Human-in-the-Loop) Onboarding

Set up Telegram integration for human interaction:

bash
ralph bot onboard --telegram   # guided setup (token + chat id)
ralph bot status               # verify config
ralph bot test                 # send a test message
