What this skill tells your AI

The instructions your AI receives, as published by rubenmarcus/ralph-starter in skills/ralph-init/SKILL.md and read by ahel’s review.

Initialize Ralph Playbook scaffolding in a project directory.

Use ralph_init with the project path to create:
- AGENTS.md — agent configuration
- PROMPT_plan.md and PROMPT_build.md — workflow prompts
- specs/ directory for specifications
- IMPLEMENTATION_PLAN.md — task tracking
Auto-detects project type (Node.js, Python, Rust, Go) and configures validation commands.

After init, add your spec files to specs/, then use /ralph-plan to generate an implementation plan.
