ci-cd-github-actions-rails

What problem does it solve?

This Skill eliminates the risk of AI coding agents generating broken, insecure, or inefficient GitHub Actions workflows for Rails applications that fail to follow Rails community best practices for testing, caching, security, and deployment.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Production-grade CI workflows: Pre-built templates for parallel RSpec testing with Postgres and Redis services, RuboCop linting, Brakeman security scans, and bundle audit, with aggressive gem and node_modules caching to cut build times.
• Secure Kamal deployment: Deploy workflow gated on passing CI for the main branch, using OIDC for AWS/GCP credentials instead of long-lived static secrets, with environment approval gates.
• Safety guardrails: Includes templates for safe database migrations, PR preview environments, branch protection rules, and flaky test mitigation to ensure reliable, secure CI/CD pipelines.
• Use Case: A Rails team can use this Skill to generate a complete CI/CD setup in minutes that runs 4x parallel RSpec tests, blocks merges if lint or security scans fail, and deploys to production only after all checks pass, with no hardcoded cloud credentials.

Quick Start

Use the ci-cd-github-actions-rails skill to generate a complete production-grade GitHub Actions CI workflow for your Rails 8 app with parallel RSpec tests, RuboCop linting, Brakeman security scans, and Kamal deployment gated on green main.
