SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the creation of a full-featured Rails project boilerplate, reducing setup time and ensuring a modern, maintainable baseline.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Opinionated boilerplate: Rails 8 with PostgreSQL, Inertia.js, React, Vite, Tailwind, Sidekiq, and Redis configured out of the box.
  • Development parity: Development mirrors production settings as closely as possible, including Redis caching and UUID primary keys.
  • Extensible scaffolding: Ready-to-extend architecture with testing and code quality tooling (minitest, mocha, VCR, RuboCop).
  • Use Case: Start a new Rails app for a product MVP that requires a React-based frontend and background jobs.

Quick Start

Create a new Rails project named my-app in the current directory using the recommended boilerplate. Then run bin/rails server to verify locally.
