How does this skill handle frontend interactivity?

It prioritizes the Hotwire stack, specifically using Turbo Streams and Frames for real-time updates and Stimulus for minimal JavaScript, rather than heavy SPA frameworks.

What is the DHH Ruby style?

The DHH Ruby style is an opinionated approach to Rails development that emphasizes clarity over cleverness, strict REST adherence, and the use of 'fat models' to keep controllers thin.

Does this skill support service objects or Pundit?

No. Following the DHH philosophy, this skill avoids service objects and external policy gems like Pundit, instead placing logic and authorization directly on the Model or User classes.

Can I use this for existing Rails projects?

Yes, it is excellent for refactoring existing projects to improve maintainability and align with modern Rails conventions used by companies like 37signals.

API Development

Writes and refactors Ruby on Rails code according to the opinionated 37signals and DHH architectural philosophy.

About

This skill transforms Claude into a Ruby on Rails expert specialized in the 'Omakase' way, prioritizing developer happiness, clarity, and convention. It enforces strict RESTful controller patterns (limiting actions to the standard seven), leverages 'fat models' for business logic, and implements modern Rails defaults like Hotwire, Turbo, and CurrentAttributes. It is designed for developers who want to maintain a consistent, high-productivity codebase by avoiding unnecessary abstractions like service objects or complex policy libraries in favor of native Rails patterns.

Key Features

Implements 'fat model' architecture for business logic, authorization, and broadcasting.
Enforces strict 7-action RESTful controller patterns and resource-based routing.
Generates Hotwire and Turbo Stream patterns for real-time UI updates.
0 GitHub stars
Applies specific DHH-style Ruby syntax and private method indentation rules.
Utilizes Rails-native tools like CurrentAttributes, Solid Queue, and Solid Cache.

Use Cases

Refactoring bloated controllers into multiple REST-pure resources.
Migrating from complex service-oriented architectures to simplified Rails-native patterns.
Generating models with built-in Hotwire broadcasting and semantic associations.
