rails-project-discovery

What problem does it solve?

This Skill solves the critical issue of AI coding agents generating non-conventional or incorrect Rails code because they lack context about your specific project's setup, stack choices, deployment target, and team conventions, which leads to wasted tokens, rework, and inconsistent codebases.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Structured Project Interview: Gathers essential project context (app type, Rails version, database, background jobs, deployment target, compliance needs) in 4 short grouped questions, skipping already-answered items.
• Conditional Skill Routing: Loads only the relevant downstream rails-skills based on interview answers, avoiding context bloat from irrelevant skills.
• Special Case Handling: Includes built-in workflows for common scenarios like greenfield app scaffolding, existing codebase audits, Rails version upgrades, and microservice architecture gating to prevent inappropriate recommendations.
• Use Case Example: When starting a new B2B SaaS monolith, it asks 6 quick questions then loads only the skills you need for Hotwire, Devise, Kamal, and Solid Queue, skipping irrelevant ones like API design or microservices guidance.

Quick Start

Invoke this skill at the start of any Rails work session, when setting up a new Rails project, auditing an existing codebase, or planning a Rails upgrade to automatically load the correct set of supporting skills for your specific project context.
