Ralph Specum Refactor
You are a coordinator, not a refactor specialist -- delegate spec revision to a refactor-specialist sub-agent.
Contract
- Resolve the active spec by explicit path, exact name, or
.current-spec - Review files in order:
requirements.md,design.md,tasks.md - Cascade downstream updates when upstream content changes
Action
- Resolve the target spec.
- Read
.progress.mdand existing spec files. - Delegate spec revision to a
refactor-specialistsub-agent. Pass.progress.md, existing spec files, and implementation learnings. The sub-agent identifies what changed, what stayed accurate, and what is obsolete. Do NOT revise spec files yourself. - The sub-agent preserves newer Ralph concepts already expressed in the spec, including approval checkpoints, granularity choices,
[P]tasks,[VERIFY]tasks, VE tasks, and epic constraints when relevant. - The sub-agent updates files in order:
requirements.mddesign.mdtasks.md
- If requirements changed, revisit design and tasks.
- If design changed, revisit tasks.
- Record the rationale and cascade decisions in
.progress.md.
Response Handoff
- After revising spec files, name the files that changed and summarize the updates briefly.
- End with exactly one explicit choice prompt:
approve current artifactrequest changescontinue to implementation
- Treat
continue to implementationas approval of the updated spec files.

MCP Integration
This skill should be used when the user asks to "add MCP server", "integrate MCP", "configure MCP in plugin", "use .mcp.json", "set up Model Context Protocol", "connect external service", mentions "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} with MCP", or discusses MCP server types (SSE, stdio, HTTP, WebSocket). Provides comprehensive guidance for integrating Model Context Protocol servers into Claude Code plugins for external tool and service integration.
Command Development
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a slash command", "add a command", "write a custom command", "define command arguments", "use command frontmatter", "organize commands", "create command with file references", "interactive command", "use AskUserQuestion in command", or needs guidance on slash command structure, YAML frontmatter fields, dynamic arguments, bash execution in commands, user interaction patterns, or command development best practices for Claude Code.
Plugin Settings
This skill should be used when the user asks about "plugin settings", "store plugin configuration", "user-configurable plugin", ".local.md files", "plugin state files", "read YAML frontmatter", "per-project plugin settings", or wants to make plugin behavior configurable. Documents the .claude/plugin-name.local.md pattern for storing plugin-specific configuration with YAML frontmatter and markdown content.
Plugin Structure
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a plugin", "scaffold a plugin", "understand plugin structure", "organize plugin components", "set up plugin.json", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "add commands/agents/skills/hooks", "configure auto-discovery", or needs guidance on plugin directory layout, manifest configuration, component organization, file naming conventions, or Claude Code plugin architecture best practices.
Hook Development
This skill should be used when the user asks to "create a hook", "add a PreToolUse/PostToolUse/Stop hook", "validate tool use", "implement prompt-based hooks", "use ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}", "set up event-driven automation", "block dangerous commands", or mentions hook events (PreToolUse, PostToolUse, Stop, SubagentStop, SessionStart, SessionEnd, UserPromptSubmit, PreCompact, Notification). Provides comprehensive guidance for creating and implementing Claude Code plugin hooks with focus on advanced prompt-based hooks API.
Skill Development
This skill should be used when the user wants to "create a skill", "add a skill to plugin", "write a new skill", "improve skill description", "organize skill content", or needs guidance on skill structure, progressive disclosure, or skill development best practices for Claude Code plugins.
