What problem does it solve?

This Skill provides a structured approach to building robust and maintainable Rails models, emphasizing clear separation of concerns, effective state management, and idiomatic Ruby patterns.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Composable Concerns: Organize model behavior into reusable, self-contained modules.
• State as Records: Manage discrete states (e.g., closed, golden) using dedicated database records for better tracking and querying.
• PORO Patterns: Utilize Plain Old Ruby Objects for presentation logic, complex operations, and view context bundling.
• Contextual Defaults: Employ default: -> {} for setting associations and attributes.
• Request Context: Leverage ActiveSupport::CurrentAttributes for global request context.
• Use Case: When designing a new feature for a task management application, use concerns to add functionalities like Assignable, Watchable, and Commentable to the Task model, ensuring each piece of behavior is isolated and testable.

Quick Start

Apply the Closeable concern to the Card model to manage its closed state.
