About
The Vanilla Rails Style skill equips Claude with the specific coding conventions championed by 37signals and the Basecamp team, which often deviate from standard Ruby style guides like Rubocop. This skill emphasizes readability through the use of expanded if/else conditionals over guard clauses, specific private method indentation, and method ordering based on invocation sequence. By encouraging a 'Vanilla Rails' architecture—focusing on rich domain models, thin controllers, and resource-oriented routing—it ensures your codebase remains consistent with high-leverage, production-grade Rails patterns used by industry leaders.
