Can it help with naming database migrations?

Yes, it provides specific guidance on timestamped files and descriptive PascalCase class naming for Rails migrations.

How does this handle custom directory structures?

Is it helpful for API-only Rails applications?

Absolutely, it includes specific patterns for namespaced API controllers and standard directory layouts for JSON-based view templates.

Does it fix pluralization errors?

Yes, it understands the specific English pluralization rules Rails uses for models (singular) versus tables and controllers (plural).

Does this skill support older versions of Rails?
