Ralph\npersonas that change how the little guy thinks, behaves, and spends effort.\n\n## Current direction\n\nThis branch pivots the product away from Claude marketplace/plugin packaging and\ntoward a single install story:\n\n- install the `radioactive_ralph` binary\n- run `radioactive_ralph init` in a repo\n- let `init` register stdio MCP with Claude Code\n- use the binary as the source of truth for variants, prompts, and runtime state\n\nCurrent implementation is still Claude-CLI-backed, but the product contract is\nnow provider-oriented rather than plugin-oriented. The long-term goal is a\ndeclarative provider layer where a repo can bind any supported agent CLI through\nconfig, as long as the necessary prompt, model, effort, and structured-output\nbindings are defined.\n\n## What Ralph is\n\n| Surface | What it does | Status |\n|---|---|---|\n| `radioactive_ralph` binary | Repo init, plan tooling, MCP serving, supervisor launch, doctor checks | Live |\n| Claude Code MCP integration | Lets Claude talk to the binary over stdio MCP | Live |\n| Built-in Ralph personas | Green, grey, red, blue, professor, fixit, immortal, savage, old-man, world-breaker | Live as in-code profiles |\n| Provider abstraction | Declarative bindings for non-Claude agent CLIs | Target direction |\n\n## Meet the Ralphs\n\n| Variant | Specialty | Use it when | Gate |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| [`green-ralph`](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/green-ralph/) | The classic loop | You want the default full-power orchestrator | — |\n| [`grey-ralph`](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/grey-ralph/) | Cheap mechanical cleanup | You need governance docs and boring hygiene fast | — |\n| [`red-ralph`](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/red-ralph/) | CI and PR fire drills | Something is on fire and you want one clean report | — |\n| [`blue-ralph`](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/blue-ralph/) | Read-only review | You want diagnosis without touching the code | — |\n| [`professor-ralph`](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/professor-ralph/) | Plan → execute → reflect | Strategy matters more than speed | — |\n| [`fixit-ralph`](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/fixit-ralph/) | Advisor + ROI-scored bursts | You need a free-form ask translated into a real durable plan | — |\n| [`immortal-ralph`](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/immortal-ralph/) | Recovery-first autonomy | You need it to survive the night | — |\n| [`savage-ralph`](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/savage-ralph/) | Maximum throughput | Budget is not the constraint | `--confirm-burn-budget` |\n| [`old-man-ralph`](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/old-man-ralph/) | Imposed target state | Negotiation is over | `--confirm-no-mercy` |\n| [`world-breaker-ralph`](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/world-breaker-ralph/) | Every agent on opus | The problem is genuinely catastrophic | `--confirm-burn-everything` |\n\nSee the full [variants index](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/).\n\n## Install\n\n```bash\n# Homebrew (macOS / Linuxbrew / WSL2 + Linuxbrew)\nbrew tap jbcom/pkgs\nbrew install radioactive-ralph\n\n# Windows Scoop\nscoop bucket add jbcom https://github.com/jbcom/pkgs\nscoop install radioactive-ralph\n\n# Windows Chocolatey\nchoco install radioactive-ralph\n\n# curl | sh (POSIX)\ncurl -sSL https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/install.sh | sh\n```\n\n## Start a repo\n\n```bash\nradioactive_ralph init\nradioactive_ralph run --variant fixit --advise \\\n  --topic stabilize-docs \\\n  --description \"stabilize docs and line up the next implementation pass\"\nradioactive_ralph plan ls\nradioactive_ralph run --variant green --foreground\n```\n\n`init` registers `radioactive_ralph` with Claude Code as a stdio MCP server\nunless you pass `--skip-mcp`. `fixit --advise` now writes the repo-visible\nadvisor report and seeds the first durable DAG plan for that topic when no plan\nwith the same slug already exists for this repo.\n\n## Current CLI surface\n\n```bash\nradioactive_ralph init\nradioactive_ralph run --variant \u003cname\u003e\nradioactive_ralph status --variant \u003cname\u003e\nradioactive_ralph attach --variant \u003cname\u003e\nradioactive_ralph stop --variant \u003cname\u003e\nradioactive_ralph doctor\nradioactive_ralph service install --variant \u003cname\u003e\nradioactive_ralph service list\nradioactive_ralph plan ls\nradioactive_ralph plan show \u003cid-or-slug\u003e\nradioactive_ralph plan next \u003cid-or-slug\u003e\nradioactive_ralph plan import \u003cpath\u003e\nradioactive_ralph plan mark-done \u003cid-or-slug\u003e \u003ctask-id\u003e\nradioactive_ralph serve --mcp\nradioactive_ralph mcp register\n```\n\n## Current provider reality\n\nToday the runtime still shells out to `claude`, so these are the live operator\nrequirements:\n\n- `claude` CLI installed and authenticated\n- `gh` CLI installed and authenticated for GitHub workflows\n- `git` available locally\n\nThe docs in [`docs/`](docs/) now describe Claude Code as one client of the\nbinary, not the identity of the product.\n\n## Docs\n\n- [Getting started](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/getting-started/)\n- [Variants](https://jonbogaty.com/radioactive-ralph/variants/)\n- [Architecture
