Implements the GARY (Go Ahead, Repeat Yourself) principle to write highly readable and maintainable RSpec tests.
This skill optimizes your Ruby testing workflow by applying the GARY principle, which prioritizes clarity and linear narrative over code brevity. It guides Claude to write RSpec tests that use inline setup instead of complex, lazy-evaluated 'let' blocks, ensuring every test tells a clear story from top to bottom using the Arrange-Act-Assert pattern. By minimizing hidden dependencies and tracing, this skill helps create test suites that are significantly easier to debug and maintain long-term.
