If you just want to access ri within irb then this would do in your 
.irbrc:

   def help(*args); system('ri', *args); end

If you want a smarter ri, see 
http://eigenclass.org/hiki/irb+ri+completion and 
http://tagaholic.me/2009/06/19/page-irb-output-and-improve-ri-with-hirb.html#ri 
.

As for an improvement on irb's autocompletion, see bond -
