Show HN: Ralphex – Ralph-inspired loop extended with plan creation and reviews

https://ralphex.umputun.dev/
6•bumpa•2h ago
Built this to manage the full Claude Code workflow autonomously, from initial plan creation to reviewed PR.

Tested it on a 25-task plan (5-7 items each) - ran overnight, woke up to a surprisingly solid PR-ready branch.

Just run `ralphex` (single binary) in your project directory.

Without a plan file, it starts interactive mode. Asks what to build, explores the codebase, writes the plan, then executes.

The loop: plan creation (asks questions, writes markdown) → task execution (fresh session each, no context bloat) → multi-phase reviews (Claude + optional Codex) → branch ready for PR.

Prompts for each phase are injected with minimal context needed for continuation: plan file, progress log, goal. Progress file accumulates Q&A during planning, execution logs during tasks, review findings between iterations. Output streams to terminal and progress log file simultaneously.

Everything customizable at user level (~/.config/ralphex/) or per-project (.ralphex/): prompts, agents, colors.

Web dashboard monitors progress files across directories. See active sessions, stream output live, spot failures without switching terminals.

I haven't used (planning on it), but know it has lots of positive reviews. Curious if it's possible to create a TUI around it to have ability to run multiple instances, check statuses, logs, and manage all that hell!
