What Maestro Ralph is
Maestro Ralph is a slash command published in the catlog22/maestro-flow repository on GitHub, which has about 558 stars. The repository describes itself as: “Intent-driven workflow orchestration for multi-agent AI development — adaptive lifecycle engine, self-reinforcing knowledge graph, and visual dashboard for Claude Code, Gemini, Codex & more”
A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.
Maestro Ralph gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.
How to install Maestro Ralph
Claude Code
- Download maestro-ralph.md from the repository.
- Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
- Run it by typing / followed by its name, with arguments such as <intent> [-y] [-c] [--amend].
Claude Cowork
- Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
- In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
- Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

Before you install
- Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
- Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
- Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
- Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
- Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
