Rails Codebase Inspection Protocol

About

The Codebase Inspection Protocol is an essential skill for enterprise-grade Rails development that enforces a 'verify-before-implement' workflow. It systematically probes a Ruby on Rails project to discover directory structures, service patterns (Services, Commands, Queries), naming conventions, and gem dependencies. By grounding the AI in the project's actual state—from database schemas to testing styles—it eliminates guesswork and prevents the introduction of inconsistent patterns or redundant libraries, making it ideal for large-scale, multi-agent orchestration tasks.
