Ralph Specum Prototype

Coordinate one optional prototype overlay. Delegate source work to a child agent and keep the main Ralph phase unchanged until the recorded handoff.

Load the contract

Derive RALPH_CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT from this loaded skill: take the directory containing SKILL.md, then its parent skills directory, then the next parent. Never derive the plugin root from the project working directory.

Read ../../references/prototype-coordinator.md from this skill directory completely before any prototype mutation. Treat it as the source of truth for direct, suggested, resume, quick, cancel, isolation, review, publication, and handoff behavior.

Route the request

  1. Resolve an explicit path, exact spec name, or .current-spec with "$RALPH_CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/resolve_spec_paths.py". Use only the returned basePath, specRoot, settings, and warnings.
  2. Parse one mode: direct by default, suggested with a return phase, resume by ID, quick, or cancel by ID.
  3. Reconcile candidate and final records before reserving, resuming, reviewing, or publishing.
  4. Use only these mechanics:
    • "$RALPH_CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/locked_state.py" for activePrototypes and every state mutation
    • "$RALPH_CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/prototype_records.py" for exact candidate bytes, review receipts, immutable publication, reconciliation, and downstream selection
    • "$RALPH_CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/prototype_harness.py" for deterministic control outcomes and retry metadata
  5. Spawn internal builders with child-agent tools. Store only the returned agentId; wait with wait_agent and stop with interrupt_agent. Never use create_thread or a threadId for an internal builder.
  6. Keep normal capture, dirty-path transfer, verdict, handoff, deletion, and remote actions under explicit user control. Let quick mode own its bounded choices and continue to design after every terminal outcome.

Completion gate

Finish only after the coordinator contract verifies the immutable final bytes, removes the active entry through the locked helper, applies stale and handoff gates, and reports the local source disposition. Keep every remote pointer pending until the user authorizes that exact remote write.
