rails-architecture

What problem does it solve?

Rails projects often struggle with deciding where to place code and which architectural patterns to apply (services, concerns, queries, presenters, etc.). This skill provides a structured guide to choose between patterns, design feature architecture, and refactor code for maintainability in Rails 8.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Guidance on where to place business logic (service objects, queries, concerns) and presentation layer (presenters, view components).
• Architecture decision tree and mapping between responsibilities (controller, model, service, query, presenter, policy, job, mailer, channel).
• Reference implementations and patterns to consult during feature planning or refactors.
• Use Case: when restructuring a monolith into layered architecture with clear boundaries.

Quick Start

Identify a candidate area (e.g., complex business logic) and start by selecting the appropriate pattern from the decision tree to restructure code.
