Does this skill require any specific gems to be installed?

No, the skill utilizes standard Unix commands like grep, find, and tree, making it portable across any standard Ruby on Rails environment.

Why should I use this skill before generating code?

It prevents Claude from making incorrect assumptions about your project structure, ensuring generated code matches your specific naming conventions and existing architectural patterns.

Does it work with both RSpec and Minitest?

Yes, the protocol includes specific checks for both test directories and helper files to adapt to whichever testing framework your project uses.

How does it help with Rails dependency management?

It inspects your Gemfile and Gemfile.lock to verify which libraries are currently available before suggesting code that might otherwise require missing dependencies.

Can it detect custom patterns like Service Objects or ViewComponents?

Absolutely. It is specifically designed to search for common but non-standard Rails patterns to maintain consistency across the entire application.

Productivity & Workflow

Automates deep codebase discovery and pattern analysis for Ruby on Rails projects to ensure architectural consistency.

The Codebase Inspection Protocol is a mandatory discovery skill for Claude Code designed to eliminate 'blind coding' by enforcing a rigorous inspection of existing Rails patterns before any code is generated. It systematically analyzes directory structures, service object conventions, naming styles, and Gemfile dependencies, ensuring that every AI-generated suggestion aligns perfectly with the project's established architecture and domain model. By citing observed file paths and verified patterns, it prevents architectural drift and ensures high-quality, idiomatic Rails development.
