What problem does it solve?

This Skill codifies best practices to keep Rails ActiveRecord models thin, moving business logic into service objects and ensuring robust validations, associations, scopes, and queries.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Keep models thin: data and persistence only, with business logic delegated to services.
• Solid validations and associations: define clear constraints and relationships to prevent leakage of logic.
• Query optimization: use scopes and eager loading to avoid N+1 problems and improve performance.
• Testing guidance: provide structured model and integration tests to ensure correctness.

Quick Start

Analyze your current models, start extracting business logic into services, and write tests following the patterns described in this Skill.
