System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Scaffolding, maintaining, and refactoring Rails engines is error-prone without a consistent blueprint. This skill provides a standardized structure, host-app contract guidance, and best-practice conventions to streamline engine development.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Clear engine layout templates (lib/, app/, config, and a dummy host app) to accelerate bootstrapping.
  • Host-app contract documentation and integration guidelines to ensure predictable host interactions.
  • Guidance on selecting engine type (Plain gem, Railtie, Engine, Mountable engine) with recommended defaults.

Quick Start

Create a minimal Rails engine scaffold that includes a host-app contract, recommended file layout, and a starter structure.
