Getting Started
0. Prerequisites
- Python >=3.13 or uv
- API key from OpenRouter (the default), any other OpenAI-compatible LLM inference provider, or a ChatGPT subscription
- Git >=2.x.x
1. Installation
uv tool install just-ralph-it
# Alternative command:
pip install just-ralph-it
2. Setup
Move to a project directory and set it up:
mkdir ./my-project
cd ./my-project
jri init
That creates .jri/settings.yaml. Open it and follow its comments.
3. Usage
# Run the TUI to start a chat session:
jri chat
# Visualize the notes graph:
jri view
[!TIP] Given that there isn't automated implementation yet, you can hand the generated
.jri/notebook.yamlor.jri/specs/to your favorite coding agent as a starting point for implementation.
Upgrading
uv tool upgrade just-ralph-it
# Alternative command:
pip install --upgrade just-ralph-it
[!WARNING] Until reaching a stable version (>=1.0.0), anything could break from one version to another.
Uninstalling
uv tool uninstall just-ralph-it
# Alternative command:
pip uninstall just-ralph-it
# Remove JRI from the project:
rm -fr /path/to/your-project/.jri
