</div>What is this?
Smart Ralph is a Claude Code plugin that turns your vague feature ideas into structured specs, then executes them task-by-task. Like having a tiny product team in your terminal.
You: "Add user authentication"
Ralph: *creates research.md, requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md*
Ralph: *executes each task with fresh context*
Ralph: "I'm helping!"
Why "Ralph"?
Named after the Ralph agentic loop pattern and everyone's favorite Springfield student. Ralph doesn't overthink. Ralph just does the next task. Be like Ralph.
Requirements
v2.0.0+ requires the Ralph Loop plugin for task execution:
/plugin install ralph-loop@claude-plugins-official
Note: The plugin is named ralph-loop (implementing the Ralph Wiggum technique). Some documentation may reference - both refer to the same plugin, use .
