+Set up a Ralphify project manager ralph in this repository.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Make sure `ralphify` is installed (`uv tool install ralphify` or `pip install ralphify`). Make sure `gh` CLI is authenticated for this repo.
+
+## What to create
+
+Create a `pm/` directory in the project root with the following files. Do NOT add `pm/` to `.gitignore` and do NOT track it in git. The `pm/` directory should be purely local — it exists on disk but is invisible to git. This ensures state persists across branch switches without polluting the repo.
+
+### pm/RALPH.md
+
+```yaml
+---
+agent: claude -p --dangerously-skip-permissions
+idle:
+  delay: 30s
+  backoff: 2
+  max_delay: 5m
+  max: 30m
+commands:
+  - name: status
+    run: ./show-status.sh
+  - name: inbox
+    run: ./show-inbox.sh
+  - name: active-task
+    run: ./show-active-task.sh
+  - name: questions
+    run: ./show-questions.sh
+  - name: tests
+    run: $TEST_COMMAND
+    timeout: 120
+  - name: git-log
+    run: git log --oneline -15
+  - name: git-status
+    run: git status --short
+---
+```
+
+For the `tests` command, detect the project's test runner:
+- Python with pytest: `uv run pytest -x` or `pytest -x`
+- Node.js: `npm test`
+- Go: `go test ./...`
+- Rust: `cargo test`
+- If unclear, ask the user what test command to use
+
+The prompt body should follow this structure:
+
+#### Role section
+Tell the agent it is an autonomous project manager and developer for this specific project. Each iteration is stateless — all state lives in files and git. State files live in `pm/` (INBOX.md, TODO.md, QUESTIONS.md, tasks/).
+
+#### State section
+Inject all command outputs using placeholders:
+- `{{ commands.status }}` — workflow phase
+- `{{ commands.inbox }}` — pending work items
+- `{{ commands.active-task }}` — current task and its plan
+- `{{ commands.questions }}` — unanswered blocker questions
+- `{{ commands.tests }}` — test results
+- `{{ commands.git-log }}` — recent commits
+- `{{ commands.git-status }}` — working tree state
+
+#### Decision tree section
+The agent follows this priority order each iteration:
+1. **Tests failing?** Fix them first.
+2. **Blocked on questions?** If `pm/QUESTIONS.md` has unanswered questions for the active task, stop and wait.
+3. **Active task with incomplete plan steps?** Implement the next unchecked step in `pm/tasks/<slug>/PLAN.md`, test, commit, check off the step.
+4. **Active task fully complete?** Create a draft PR (`gh pr create --draft`), mark done in `pm/TODO.md`, switch back to main.
+5. **Inbox has items?** Pick top unchecked item from `pm/INBOX.md`. If it's a GitHub issue URL, run `gh issue view <number>`. Create `pm/tasks/<slug>/PLAN.md` with summary, files to modify, 3-8 numbered steps with checkboxes, and acceptance criteria. Add to `pm/TODO.md`, mark inbox item done, create branch `pm/<slug>`.
+6. **Nothing to do?** Idle. Output a short status summary, then output exactly `<!-- ralph:state idle -->` so the loop engine can back off.
+
+#### Rules section
+- One plan step per iteration
+- Always run tests before committing
+- Commit conventions: `feat:`, `fix:`, `refactor:`, `docs:`
+- Never hack tests to make them pass
+- Work on `pm/<slug>` branches, not main
+- No force pushes or rebases
+- State files always use `pm/` prefix paths
+- If blocked, write to `pm/QUESTIONS.md` under `## Open`: `- **<task-slug>**: <question>`
