You can enforce DHH style conventions by using this guide during your Rails code review process. It helps refactor existing Ruby code against the 37signals style guide, ensuring team consistency by targeting fat models, thin controllers, and REST purity.

Yes, you need existing knowledge of Ruby and Rails, along with familiarity with 37signals/DHH coding standards. This guide targets developers and teams aiming to adopt best practices rather than teaching the framework from scratch.

Refactoring a Rails controller to follow the DHH thin controller pattern involves moving business logic into fat models and maintaining REST purity. The guide provides detailed patterns and best practices for restructuring your code to achieve this clarity.

The best way to adopt 37signals Rails conventions for an existing codebase is to review and refactor your code against the comprehensive DHH style guide. This ensures consistency by applying their specific naming patterns and REST architectural rules.

Your Rails code lacks consistency when applying DHH patterns if it deviates from REST purity or accumulates logic in controllers. Adopting the 37signals style guide clarifies naming conventions and enforces the 'clarity over cleverness' philosophy to resolve this.
