Summary
- Exposes hidden assumptions through guided questioning, crystallizing vague requirements into unambiguous specs (Ambiguity ≤ 0.2) before any code execution
- Ralph mode runs persistent loops—Interview → Seed → Execute → Evaluate → Evolve—until acceptance criteria pass or max iterations reached, with checkpoint-based resumption after interruption
- Three-stage verification gates: mechanical (lint, tests, coverage), semantic (acceptance criteria alignment), and optional multi-model consensus for drift detection
- Includes five lateral-thinking personas (Simplifier, Hacker, Contrarian, Researcher, Architect) to break through stagnation when repeated attempts fail
- Supports Claude Code (native hooks), Codex CLI (bash loop), Gemini CLI (AfterAgent hook), and OpenCode with unified ooo command syntax across all platforms
