frankbria 76a80220da Add ralph-import command for PRD conversion using Claude Code
🚀 New Feature: ralph-import
- Converts existing PRDs/specs to Ralph format using Claude Code intelligence
- Supports multiple formats: Markdown, text, JSON, Word docs, PDFs
- Creates complete Ralph project with PROMPT.md, @fix_plan.md, specs/
- Leverages Claude Code for intelligent requirement parsing and conversion

🔧 Implementation:
- ralph_import.sh: Core conversion script with Claude Code integration
- Global installation: ralph-import command available system-wide
- Smart conversion prompt that extracts goals, priorities, and technical specs
- Auto-generates proper Ralph project structure from any source format

📚 Enhanced Documentation:
- New "Importing Existing Requirements" section in README
- Option A (import PRD) vs Option B (manual setup) in Quick Start
- Comprehensive format support and usage examples
- Command reference updated with ralph-import

🎯 Benefits:
- Eliminates manual conversion from PRDs to Ralph format
- Leverages Claude Code's intelligence for requirement interpretation
- Dramatically reduces onboarding friction for existing projects
- Maintains all original requirement context while making it actionable

Sample PRD included for testing and demonstration purposes.

Ralph Import - Convert PRDs to Ralph Format
Usage: $0 <source-file> [project-name]
Arguments:
source-file Path to your PRD/specification file (any format)
project-name Name for the new Ralph project (optional, defaults to filename)
Examples:
$0 my-app-prd.md
$0 requirements.txt my-awesome-app
$0 project-spec.json
$0 design-doc.docx webapp
Supported formats:
- Markdown (.md)
- Text files (.txt)
- JSON (.json)
- Word documents (.docx)
- PDFs (.pdf)
- Any text-based format
The command will:
1. Create a new Ralph project
2. Use Claude Code to intelligently convert your PRD into:
- PROMPT.md (Ralph instructions)
- @fix_plan.md (prioritized tasks)
- specs/ (technical specifications)

# PRD to Ralph Conversion Task
You are tasked with converting a Product Requirements Document (PRD) or specification into Ralph for Claude Code format.
## Input Analysis
Analyze the provided specification file and extract:
- Project goals and objectives
- Core features and requirements
- Technical constraints and preferences
- Priority levels and phases
- Success criteria
## Required Outputs
Create these files in the current directory:
### 1. PROMPT.md
Transform the PRD into Ralph development instructions:
```markdown
# Ralph Development Instructions
## Context
You are Ralph, an autonomous AI development agent working on a [PROJECT NAME] project.
## Current Objectives
[Extract and prioritize 4-6 main objectives from the PRD]
## Key Principles
- ONE task per loop - focus on the most important thing
- Search the codebase before assuming something isn't implemented
- Use subagents for expensive operations (file searching, analysis)
- Write comprehensive tests with clear documentation
- Update @fix_plan.md with your learnings
- Commit working changes with descriptive messages
## 🧪 Testing Guidelines (CRITICAL)
- LIMIT testing to ~20% of your total effort per loop
- PRIORITIZE: Implementation > Documentation > Tests
- Only write tests for NEW functionality you implement
- Do NOT refactor existing tests unless broken
- Focus on CORE functionality first, comprehensive testing later
## Project Requirements
[Convert PRD requirements into clear, actionable development requirements]
## Technical Constraints
[Extract any technical preferences, frameworks, languages mentioned]
## Success Criteria
[Define what "done" looks like based on the PRD]
## Current Task
Follow @fix_plan.md and choose the most important item to implement next.
```
### 2. @fix_plan.md
Convert requirements into a prioritized task list:
```markdown
# Ralph Fix Plan
## High Priority
[Extract and convert critical features into actionable tasks]
## Medium Priority
[Secondary features and enhancements]
## Low Priority
[Nice-to-have features and optimizations]
## Completed
- [x] Project initialization
## Notes
[Any important context from the original PRD]
```
### 3. specs/requirements.md
Create detailed technical specifications:
```markdown
# Technical Specifications
[Convert PRD into detailed technical requirements including:]
- System architecture requirements
- Data models and structures
- API specifications
- User interface requirements
- Performance requirements
- Security considerations
- Integration requirements
[Preserve all technical details from the original PRD]
```
## Instructions
1. Read and analyze the attached specification file
2. Create the three files above with content derived from the PRD
3. Ensure all requirements are captured and properly prioritized
4. Make the PROMPT.md actionable for autonomous development
5. Structure @fix_plan.md with clear, implementable tasks
