Ralph Specum Status

Ralph Specum Status

Use this to report Ralph state across configured spec roots.

Contract

• Read .claude/ralph-specum.local.md when present
• Default specs root is ./specs
• .current-spec lives in the default specs root
• Hidden directories do not count as specs

Action

1. Resolve configured roots.
2. Read .current-spec to identify the active spec.
   • If .current-spec is missing or empty, report that there is no active spec and continue listing specs across roots.
3. Read specs/.current-epic when present and summarize epic status.
4. For each spec directory, inspect:
   • .ralph-state.json
   • research.md
   • requirements.md
   • design.md
   • tasks.md
5. If tasks.md exists, count completed and incomplete tasks.
6. Group results by spec root.
7. Show the active spec, current phase, backlog state, approval state, granularity when present, and which artifacts exist.

Output

• Specs in the default root can be shown by name.
• Specs in other roots should include the root suffix for disambiguation.
• Include the next likely command when it is obvious.
• If an epic is active, include the next unblocked spec.
• If approval is pending, explicitly tell the user to approve the current artifact, request changes, or continue to the named next step.
