What problem does it solve?
Rails apps often suffer from inefficient Active Record queries, missing real-time updates, and slow background job processing. This Skill provides patterns to optimize data access, implement real-time UI with Turbo Frames/Streams, wire up Action Cable for WebSockets, and orchestrate background jobs with Sidekiq, all while maintaining testable Rails 7+ codebases.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Active Record optimization: use includes/eager_load to avoid N+1 queries and improve query performance in index and associated views.
- Real-time UI and background jobs: leverage Turbo Frames/Streams for partial updates and Sidekiq for asynchronous processing with reliable job handling.
- Comprehensive testing: write RSpec test suites that cover models, controllers, and feature specs to ensure regressions are caught.
Quick Start
Create a new Rails 7 project, apply ActiveRecord includes to optimize queries, enable Turbo Frames/Streams for partial updates, and set up a basic Sidekiq-backed background job workflow.
