Ralplan

Overview

Ralplan is a shortcut alias for /oh-my-claudecode:omc-plan --consensus. It performs RALPLAN-DR structured deliberation where Planner, Architect, and Critic agents iteratively review and refine a plan until they reach consensus.

It also acts as a pre-execution gate for vague execution requests. Prompts like ralph add authentication that lack specificity are redirected to ralplan to establish a plan first.

Usage

/oh-my-claudecode:ralplan "task description"
/oh-my-claudecode:ralplan --interactive "task description"
/oh-my-claudecode:ralplan --deliberate "high-risk migration"

Also activated via magic keywords.

Options / Flags

Flag	Description
`--interactive`	Enable user prompts at key decision points
`--deliberate`	Deep deliberation for high-risk work (pre-mortem analysis + extended test plan)
`--architect codex`	Use Codex CLI in the Architect stage
`--critic codex`	Use Codex CLI in the Critic stage

Consensus Workflow

Planner writes the initial plan + RALPLAN-DR summary
- Principles (3-5), decision drivers (top 3), actionable options (2 or more)
- --deliberate: adds pre-mortem analysis (3 scenarios) + extended test plan
Architect reviews architectural soundness (runs sequentially, includes counterarguments)
Critic evaluates quality criteria (runs after Architect completes)
On rejection: revise → Architect → Critic cycle (up to 5 times)
On approval: output final plan with ADR

Pre-Execution Gate

When an ambiguous prompt is passed to an execution mode (ralph, autopilot, team, ultrawork), it is redirected to ralplan.

Prompts That Pass the Gate

A prompt passes the gate if it contains at least one concrete signal.

Signal	Example
File path	`ralph fix src/hooks/bridge.ts`
Issue/PR number	`ralph implement #42`
camelCase symbol	`ralph fix processKeywordDetector`
Numbered steps	`ralph do: 1. Add X 2. Test Y`
Error reference	`ralph fix TypeError in auth`

How to Bypass the Gate

force: ralph refactor the auth module
! autopilot optimize everything

Examples

# Basic consensus planning
ralplan redesign the database schema

# Interactive mode
ralplan --interactive migrate from REST to GraphQL

# High-risk work
ralplan --deliberate rewrite the authentication system

plan - full planning skill (ralplan is the consensus mode alias)
autopilot - autonomous execution after consensus planning
team - team execution after consensus planning (recommended)
deep-interview - deep interview before planning
