Ralph TUI – AI Agent Loop Orchestrator

Ralph TUI is a terminal UI for orchestrating AI coding agents to work through task lists autonomously.

Ralph TUI connects your AI coding assistant (Claude Code, OpenCode, Factory Droid, Gemini CLI, Codex, Kiro CLI) to your task tracker and runs them in an autonomous loop, completing tasks one-by-one with intelligent selection, error handling, and full visibility.

Ralph selects the highest-priority task, builds a prompt, executes your AI agent, detects completion, and repeats until all tasks are done.

This is free and open source software.

Key Features

• Task Trackers: prd.json (simple), Beads (git-backed with dependencies).
• AI Agents: Claude Code, OpenCode, Factory Droid, Gemini CLI, Codex, Kiro CLI.
• Session Persistence: Pause anytime, resume later, survive crashes.
• Real-time TUI: Watch agent output, control execution with keyboard shortcuts.
• Subagent Tracing: See nested agent calls in real-time.
• Cross-iteration Context: Automatic progress tracking between tasks.
• Flexible Skills: Use PRD/task skills directly in your agent or via the TUI.
• Remote Instances: Monitor and control ralph-tui running on multiple machines from a single TUI.
