What this file does

Provides six copy-paste prompts that guide Claude through a structured build workflow from discovery to JSON output.

When to use it

  • Starting a new project with Claude and want a repeatable process
  • Need to turn a vague idea into a structured PRD and architecture
  • Want to ensure edge cases and story quality are reviewed before coding
  • Prefer a guided interview format over freeform prompting

All Prompts - Copy & Paste

Keep this file open when building a new project. Just copy each prompt when you're ready for that step.


PROMPT 1: Discovery Interview

I want to build: [DESCRIBE YOUR IDEA HERE IN 1-2 SENTENCES]

Please interview me about this project using the BMAD method. Act as a product manager and ask me questions ONE AT A TIME about:
- What problem I'm solving
- Who the users are
- What the core features should be
- What's in scope vs out of scope
- How we'll know it's successful

Challenge my assumptions and help me think through things I might be missing. After we've covered everything, summarize what we discussed.

PROMPT 2: Create PRD

Now read skills/prd/SKILL.md and create a PRD based on our discussion. Save it to tasks/prd.md

Remember to ask me clarifying questions with lettered options (like 1A, 2B, 3C) so I can answer quickly.

PROMPT 3: Technical Architecture

Now let's design the technical architecture. Based on the PRD, help me decide on:
- Tech stack (languages, frameworks, databases)
- System structure and components
- Database schema
- APIs needed

Save your recommendations to tasks/architecture.md

PROMPT 4: Edge Case Analysis

Read skills/edge-cases/SKILL.md and analyze tasks/prd.md for edge cases, failure modes, and scenarios we might have missed.

Update the PRD with any new acceptance criteria or user stories needed to handle these cases.

PROMPT 5: Story Quality Review

Read skills/story-quality/SKILL.md and review all user stories in tasks/prd.md.

Make sure each story is:
- 1-2 lines max
- Small enough for one coding session
- Ordered correctly by dependencies (database first, then backend, then frontend)
- Has specific, verifiable acceptance criteria
- Includes "Typecheck passes"
- UI stories include "Verify in browser"

Fix any issues you find and update the PRD.

PROMPT 6: Convert to prd.json

Read skills/ralph/SKILL.md and convert tasks/prd.md into prd.json format.

Make sure:
- Each story is small enough to complete in one iteration
- Stories are ordered by dependencies
- All stories have passes: false
- branchName is set to ralph/[project-name]

Save it to ./prd.json in the project root.

After All Prompts: Exit & Run

  1. Press Ctrl+C to exit Claude
  2. Run: ./ralph.sh
  3. Wait for it to build everything (up to 100 iterations)
  4. Check progress.txt to see what's happening

What's inside

6 numbered prompts plus exit instructions, each with a code block for direct copying

Change this for your project

  • Replace [DESCRIBE YOUR IDEA HERE IN 1-2 SENTENCES] with your actual project description
  • Replace [project-name] in Prompt 6 with your project's name
  • Replace ./ralph.sh with your own build script if not using the original author's tool

Where it goes

A prompt collection. Copy the individual prompts you need rather than the whole file.
