Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/mikeyobrien/ralph-orchestrator/issues/117

I've been digging in the code and it's def favorable towards Claude response, I was able to get it to work using the custom backend function for ralph run but I really wanted ralph plan -p "my plan" to ALSO use the custom backend, Kimi CLI json response was slightly different things seemed broken in the TUI and was never get it as good as using Claude.

Fixed in PR #118! 🎉

You can now use Kimi CLI (or any custom backend) with ralph plan and ralph task commands.

Usage

# Use Kimi CLI for planning
ralph plan -i "Add user authentication" -b custom -- kimi --model moonshot-v1-8k

# Use Kimi CLI for task execution  
ralph task my-task.md -b custom -- kimi --model moonshot-v1-8k

How it works

Use -b custom to specify custom backend
Add -- separator before the backend command
First arg after -- is the command (kimi)
Remaining args are passed through to the backend (--model moonshot-v1-8k)

The prompt will be appended as the last argument to your backend command.
