Sorbet RBI Generator FAQs

Question 1

How do I validate the generated signatures?

Accepted Answer

The skill includes a built-in step to run the Sorbet type checker ('srb tc' or 'bundle exec srb tc') to ensure all generated signatures are syntactically correct and consistent.

Question 2

Does this skill support strict typing?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. The skill follows a 'strict' sigil policy and includes specific instructions to eliminate 'T.untyped' and 'T.unsafe' in favor of specific, inferred types.

Question 3

Does Claude need to run my Ruby code to generate types?

Accepted Answer

No, this skill performs static analysis of the source code. It is explicitly instructed not to run the project's Ruby code, ensuring a secure and environment-agnostic generation process.

Question 4

Can this skill help with legacy Ruby codebases?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it is ideal for legacy systems because it generates signatures in a separate ./rbi directory, meaning you can add type safety without changing a single line of your existing production Ruby code.

Question 5

What are Sorbet RBI files used for?

Accepted Answer

RBI files (Ruby Interface files) provide Sorbet with information about methods, constants, and classes that are defined dynamically or in files that shouldn't be modified directly, allowing for full static type checking.
