FAQPage Schema
What is a repo-local Ralph harness for Flow-Next projects?▼

A repo-local Ralph harness is an automation setup under scripts/ralph/ that enables unattended Ralph iterations to initialize and maintain local automation for Flow-Next plugin projects.

How do I scaffold a Ralph harness in my GitHub repository?▼

Run the Flow command /flow-next:ralph-init to scaffold the Ralph harness. It creates the scripts/ralph/ directory, copies templates, and prepares frontmatter for unattended operation.

Does scaffolding the Ralph harness overwrite my existing configuration files?▼

No, scaffolding the Ralph harness preserves existing configurations while updating required scripts and templates. It ensures frontmatter and directory structure are ready without breaking current setups.

When do I need to initialize a Ralph autonomous harness?▼

You need to initialize a Ralph autonomous harness when your Flow-Next plugin projects require unattended Ralph iterations to run and maintain local automation workflows for plan, work, and completion tasks.

Can I use the Ralph harness scaffolding for non-Flow-Next plugin projects?▼

No, the Ralph harness scaffolding applies specifically to Flow-Next plugin projects where unattended Ralph iterations are required. It is designed to bootstrap Ralph workflows within the Flow-Next ecosystem.

Why is my Ralph harness not running unattended iterations after setup?▼

Unattended Ralph iterations require the harness to be properly scaffolded under scripts/ralph/ with correct frontmatter and directory structure. Re-run the init skill to ensure templates and flowctl scaffolding are correctly integrated.
