To generate Sorbet inline type signatures for Ruby methods, you can automate the creation of sig { } blocks directly in your source files. This enforces static typing without needing separate RBI files.

The best way to add static typing to multiple Ruby files is using an automated tool that applies sig { } blocks across your project. It tracks changes per-file to ensure no files are missed and minimizes churn.

Yes, generating Sorbet signatures preserves existing # typed: sigils in your Ruby files. It also avoids T.untyped by inference where possible and updates only changed files to minimize churn.

Yes, you can update existing Sorbet inline signatures without losing custom types. The process preserves existing sig { } blocks when present and avoids T.untyped by inference where possible.

You use inline Sorbet sig blocks instead of separate RBI files to enable gradual typing directly within Ruby source code. This approach improves maintainability and enforces type checking without managing external definition files.

A limitation of automating Sorbet signature generation is that it avoids T.untyped by inference where possible, but complex dynamic Ruby patterns may still require manual type annotations to achieve full static type coverage.
