What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex and error-prone process of upgrading Ruby on Rails applications to newer versions, minimizing manual effort and potential data loss.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version Analysis: Determines current and latest Rails versions, classifying the upgrade type (patch, minor, major).
  • Upgrade Guide & Diff: Fetches and summarizes official upgrade guides and version-specific changes from railsdiff.org.
  • Dependency Management: Analyzes and suggests updates for JavaScript dependencies and importmap pins.
  • Selective File Merging: Provides a safe, manual-merge strategy for configuration files, preserving local customizations instead of overwriting them.
  • Use Case: A developer needs to upgrade a Rails 7.0 application to 8.0. This Skill will analyze the upgrade path, highlight breaking changes, identify necessary JS updates, and guide the developer through merging configuration changes without losing their custom settings.
