lisa-helps-ralph-loops

lisa-helps-ralph-loops is a migration system that analyzes existing projects and structures them for Gastown — Steve Yegge's multi-agent workspace manager.

What It Does

1. Understands your project — Scans codebase, docs, PRDs, architecture decisions
2. Extracts work units — Identifies tasks, TODOs, issues, technical debt as Beads
3. Structures for Gastown — Generates .gt/ directory with memory, beads, convoys
4. Preserves context — Creates semantic memory so agents understand project history

Commands

Gastown Migration

/lisa-loops-memory:analyze    # Scan project, generate semantic memory
/lisa-loops-memory:beads      # Extract work items as Beads
/lisa-loops-memory:convoy     # Bundle Beads into Convoys
/lisa-loops-memory:migrate    # Full migration (analyze + beads + convoy)

Roadmap Generation (inherited from ralph-it-up)

/lisa-loops-memory:roadmap              # One-shot roadmap generation
/lisa-loops-memory:roadmap-native       # Native loop with quality gates
/lisa-loops-memory:roadmap-orchestrated # External orchestrator mode

Install (Claude Code)

/plugin marketplace add auge2u/lisa-helps-ralph-loops
/plugin install lisa-loops-memory@lisa-helps-ralph-loops

Quick Start

# Full migration in one command
/lisa-loops-memory:migrate

# Or run phases individually
/lisa-loops-memory:analyze  # Creates .gt/memory/semantic.json
/lisa-loops-memory:beads    # Creates .gt/beads/*.json
/lisa-loops-memory:convoy   # Creates .gt/convoys/*.json

Gastown Concepts

Term	Description
Mayor	Primary AI coordinator with full workspace context
Town	Root workspace directory (~/gt/)
Rig	Project container wrapping a git repo
Polecat	Ephemeral worker agent (spawn → work → disappear)
Hook	Git worktree for persistent state
Convoy	Work-tracking unit bundling multiple beads
Bead	Individual work item with alphanumeric ID (gt-xxxxx)

Bead Schema

{
  "id": "gt-abc12",
  "title": "Add user authentication",
  "type": "feature",
  "complexity": "L",
  "priority": "high",
  "acceptance_criteria": [
    "User can sign up with email",
    "Session persists across refresh"
  ],
  "evidence": {
    "source": "docs/PRD.md",
    "line": 42
  }
}

Convoy Schema

{
  "id": "convoy-001",
  "name": "Authentication Sprint",
  "beads": ["gt-abc12", "gt-def34", "gt-ghi56"],
  "status": "pending"
}

Validation

# Validate full migration
python plugins/lisa-loops-memory/hooks/validate_gastown.py

# Validate specific phase
python plugins/lisa-loops-memory/hooks/validate_gastown.py --phase analyze
python plugins/lisa-loops-memory/hooks/validate_gastown.py --phase beads
python plugins/lisa-loops-memory/hooks/validate_gastown.py --phase convoy

Compatibility

System	Role
Gastown	Target platform (Mayor, Polecats)
ralph-orchestrator	Loop execution for roadmap commands

Roadmap

• Fork from ralph-it-up v1.2.0
• Define Gastown integration architecture
• Create memory schema templates (.gt/memory/)
• Implement project analyzer (analyze command)
• Implement bead extraction (beads command)
• Implement convoy generation (convoy command)
• Implement full migration (migrate command)
• Add Gastown validation hooks
• Integrate with Gastown Mayor API
• Add memory persistence across sessions
