What problem does it solve?

Rails projects often suffer from architectural drift and inconsistent implementations, leading to hard-to-maintain code and bugs. This skill provides a structured approach to building Rails apps following conventions, clean architecture, and robust patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Model structure & associations: define clear constants, validations, scopes, and relationships with proper dependent behavior.
• Controllers & routing: RESTful controllers, strong parameters, and predictable error handling.
• Services & business logic: extract complex logic into service objects and result objects for testability.
• Background jobs: idempotent, reliable jobs with retries and batch processing patterns.
• Use cases: apply these patterns to apps ranging from simple CRUD to complex domain models with multiple services.

Quick Start

1. Review your current Rails app and identify areas to apply Rails best practices listed above.
2. Create or refactor service objects and POROs for core business logic.
3. Introduce consistent model structures, validations, and controllers following Rails conventions.
