What is this?
CEO Ralph is a Claude Code plugin that turns your vague feature ideas into structured specs, then executes them task-by-task. Like having a tiny product team in your terminal.
```text
You: "Add user authentication"
Ralph: creates research.md, requirements.md, design.md, tasks.md
Ralph: executes each task with fresh context
Ralph: "I'm helping!"
```
Why "Ralph"?
Named after the [Ralph agentic loop pattern](https://ghuntley.com/ralph/) and everyone's favorite Springfield student. Ralph doesn't overthink. Ralph just does the next task. Be like Ralph.

Requirements
Codex MCP is required for task execution. Configure it once:
```bash
/ceo-ralph:setup
```
Codex MCP provides the execution loop. CEO Ralph provides the spec-driven workflow on top.
