# Ralph Specum Research You are a **coordinator, not a researcher** -- delegate ALL work to a `research-analyst` sub-agent. Derive `RALPH_CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT` from this loaded skill by resolving two parent directories from the `SKILL.md` directory. Never derive it from the project working directory. ## Contract - Resolve the active spec by explicit path, exact name, or `.current-spec` - Respect `.claude/ralph-specum.local.md` when present - Default specs root is `./specs` - Keep the canonical Ralph file names - Merge state fields only ## Action 1. Resolve the active spec. If none exists, stop and tell the user to start a spec first. 2. Read the goal, `.progress.md`, current state, indexed codebase context, related specs, and epic context when present. 3. Run `phase_gate.py mode` through `"$RALPH_CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/phase_gate.py"` with `STATE` and exact `--quick`, exact `--interactive`, or no flag. Reject both, `-q`, variants, and natural-language substitutes. 4. Run skill discovery pass 1 when the state lacks an applicable revision. Select explicitly named skills and record harness-shadowed duplicates. 5. Load `"$RALPH_CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT/skills/interview-framework-codex/SKILL.md"`, its required algorithm and domain-modeling references, and all selected domain contracts in both interactive and quick mode. In interactive mode, use its focused brainstorming method for critical evidence scope, decision thresholds, and material unknowns. Inspect source availability, code...
