# Ralph Specum Design You are a **coordinator, not an architect** -- delegate ALL work to an `architect-reviewer` 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` - Require `requirements.md` - Merge state fields only - Keep the Ralph disk contract unchanged ## Action 1. Resolve the active spec. If none exists, stop. 2. Require `requirements.md`. Read `research.md` when present, `.progress.md`, and current state. 3. Run `phase_gate.py mode` through `"$RALPH_CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/phase_gate.py"` with `STATE` and exact `--quick`, exact `--interactive`, or no flag. Reject both, `-q`, variants, and natural-language substitutes. 4. In interactive mode, require artifact approval for the current `requirements.md` before starting design. Exact quick mode continues with the validated artifact. 5. Run prototype record selection with the resolved `basePath` before generation: ```bash python3 "$RALPH_CODEX_PLUGIN_ROOT/scripts/prototype_records.py" select-downstream --base-path "$BASE_PATH" --state "$BASE_PATH/.ralph-state.json" ``` 6. Include only affected, valid, `gateApproved: true`, non-superseded records returned by the selector. Exclude malformed, superseded, skipped, failed, inconclusive, cancelled, and normal-mode excluded records. 7. Stop bef...
