Does this skill support functional programming patterns in Ruby?

Yes, it includes specific patterns for the Dry-Monads gem, allowing you to use Success/Failure monads for more robust error handling and service piping.

How does this help with Rails controller bloat?

By moving business logic into a service layer, controllers are reduced to thin wrappers that only handle parameter parsing, service invocation, and response rendering.

Can these patterns be used for background jobs?

Absolutely. The skill provides patterns for triggering background jobs from within services, ensuring side effects are handled reliably after main business operations.

When should I use a Service Object instead of a model method?

Use a Service Object when business logic spans multiple models, involves external API orchestration, or represents a complex action that doesn't naturally belong to a single data entity.
