What is the DHH Ruby style?

It is an opinionated approach to Ruby and Rails development that favors convention over configuration, RESTful purity, and developer happiness, as practiced by David Heinemeier Hansson.

What are 'Fat Models' in this context?

It refers to placing business logic, authorization checks, and broadcasting rules within the model to keep controllers thin and focused solely on request flow.

Does this skill include Hotwire and Turbo support?

Yes, it integrates modern Hotwire patterns, including model-level broadcasting and Turbo Stream responses for reactive web applications.

How does this skill handle Rails controllers?

The skill limits controllers to the 7 standard REST actions. If additional behavior is needed, it suggests creating a new controller rather than adding custom actions.
