Ralph Ultra Project Initialization

Initialize a project for autonomous development with Ralph Ultra.

What this does

Detects project type — Node.js, Python, Rust, Go, Flutter, or custom
Creates .ralph-ultra/ directory with config, skills, sessions, baselines, and cache
Generates CLAUDE.md — Tailored project instructions based on detected framework
Deploys 21 production skills — All skills copied and version-tracked
Creates config.json — Security mode, tool preference, iteration limits
Generates prd.json scaffold — Ready for story definition

Usage

/ralph-ultra:ralph-init <project-name> [--template nextjs|python|node|flutter|fix]

Arguments

$ARGUMENTS[0] — Project name (required)
--template — Force a specific template instead of auto-detecting

Templates Available

Template	Detected By	Includes
`nextjs`	next.config.*	App Router patterns, ISR, Server Components
`python`	pyproject.toml, requirements.txt	FastAPI/Django patterns, venv, pytest
`node`	package.json (no Next.js)	Express/NestJS patterns, Jest
`flutter`	pubspec.yaml	Dart patterns, widget testing
`fix`	Any existing project	Minimal CLAUDE.md + PRD for bug fixing

Post-Init Checklist

After initialization, the skill verifies:

.ralph-ultra/ directory created with correct structure
config.json has valid security mode (default: standard)
Skills deployed and version manifest created
CLAUDE.md generated with project-specific instructions
prd.json scaffold ready for story definition

Example

To initialize a Next.js project:

/ralph-ultra:ralph-init my-saas-app --template nextjs

Execute: !bash -c "source $RALPH_ULTRA_HOME/lib/core/init.sh && ru_init_project '$ARGUMENTS'" if ralph-ultra CLI is installed, otherwise follow the manual steps above.
