We're excited to announce ralph-starter v0.1.0 - a major release that makes autonomous AI coding accessible to everyone, not just developers.

What's New​

Interactive Wizard​

Just run ralph-starter with no arguments:

The wizard guides you through:

  1. Describing your project idea
  2. Refining it with AI
  3. Customizing the tech stack
  4. Building it automatically

No command-line expertise required!

Idea Mode​

Don't know what to build? We've got you covered:

ralph-starter ideas

Choose from four discovery methods:

  • Brainstorm with AI - Creative suggestions
  • Trending ideas - Based on current tech trends
  • Based on my skills - Personalized to what you know
  • Solve a problem - Solutions for pain points

Input Sources​

Fetch specs from your existing tools:

ralph-starter run --from github --project owner/repo --label "ready"
ralph-starter run --from todoist --project "My App"
ralph-starter run --from linear --label "sprint-1"
ralph-starter run --from notion --project "Product Specs"

Also supports URLs and PDFs.

MCP Integration​

Use ralph-starter from Claude Desktop or any MCP client:

ralph-starter mcp

Available tools: ralph_init, ralph_plan, ralph_run, ralph_status, ralph_validate.

Getting Started​

npm install -g ralph-starter

That's it! The wizard will guide you from there.
