Is it compatible with older Ruby versions?

While it focuses on Ruby 3.2+ and 3.3+ to leverage YJIT and modern syntax like pattern matching, the core Rails conventions are applicable to most recent versions.

Does this support Rails 8 features?

Yes, it includes specific patterns and guidance for Rails 8.0 features like Solid Queue, Solid Cache, built-in rate limiting, and the new authentication generator.

How does it handle complex business logic?

The skill provides a detailed decision tree to help you move logic from 'Fat Models' into specialized Service Objects, Form Objects, or Query Objects based on the specific use case.

Does it enforce specific file organization?

Yes, it provides strict standards for app/models, app/controllers, and app/services, including maximum line counts to ensure high code quality.

Can it help with API-only applications?

Absolutely. It includes comprehensive patterns for Base API controllers, token authentication, error handling, and JSON blueprint rendering.

API Development

Standardizes Ruby on Rails development through authoritative conventions, modern patterns, and idiomatic code practices for production-grade applications.

About

This skill transforms Claude into an expert Rails architect by providing a comprehensive framework for writing idiomatic Ruby on Rails code. It covers essential architectural decisions, including when to use Service Objects, Form Objects, or Query Objects, and enforces strict naming and organization standards across models and controllers. Specifically optimized for modern Rails (7.1/8.0) and Ruby (3.3+), it ensures your enterprise projects remain maintainable, scalable, and aligned with the latest framework features like Solid Queue, Hotwire, and ActiveRecord encryption.
