Examples

ralphy example list and pull — import full example projects from ralphy-assets.

ralphy example pulls complete reference projects from the ralphy-assets companion repo and lands them under workspace/projects/<as>/. Templates give you the shape; examples give you a working project, end-to-end, with assets and logs already populated. Use them for visual regression baselines, agent fine-tuning fodder, or as the starting point for a tweak-it-from-here variant.

ralphy example list

ralphy example list
ralphy example list --template italian-brainrot
ralphy example list --refresh

Returns { manifestUpdated, examples: [{ id, template, sizeMB, via, description }] }. The size column matters — examples can be 80–400 MB depending on render length and whether refs are included.

ralphy example pull <example-id>

Downloads the tarball, SHA-256 verifies, extracts into workspace/projects/<as>/, and registers the new project in registry.json.

ralphy example pull italian-brainrot-001 --as my-test-001

The --as <project-id> flag is required — you pick the local id. The verb refuses if the destination already exists; pick a different --as to retry.

What lands on disk

An extracted example is a regular project, identical in shape to one you’d create from scratch:

workspace/projects/my-test-001/
├── BRIEF.md
├── scenario.json
├── prompts.json
├── asset-manifest.json
├── composition-props.json
├── assets/
│   ├── images/
│   ├── videos/
│   ├── voiceover/
│   ├── music/
│   └── captions/
├── render/
│   └── final.mp4
├── logs/
│   ├── generations.jsonl
│   ├── user-prompts.jsonl
│   └── user-assets.jsonl
└── TEMPLATE_ORIGIN.md

The from_example field on the registry entry records the source, so future project show tells you where the project came from.

Examples vs. templates

	Template	Example
What you get	shape only (composition + prompt scaffolding)	a populated project
Size	KB	MB to hundreds of MB
Use when	building a new project in a known format	want a known-good render to compare against
Mutability	typed via template use	edit freely after example pull
Storage	templates/ (repo) or workspace/templates/	workspace/projects/<id>/

If you want to start from a known-good render and iterate, pull the example. If you want to start from scratch in a known format, use the template.

Caching

Tarballs cache under workspace/.ralph/asset-cache/examples/. A second pull of the same id (with a different --as) reuses the cached download. Wipe with ralphy assets clean.
