SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill addresses the challenges of maintaining large Ruby codebases by introducing static type checking and enforcing code quality standards, leading to more robust and maintainable applications.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Static Type Checking: Utilizes RBS and Steep to catch type errors at compile time.
  • Code Quality Enforcement: Implements RSpec for testing and Rubocop for style consistency.
  • Use Case: Ensure that a critical business logic module in a Ruby on Rails application adheres to strict type definitions and coding standards before deployment.

Quick Start

Use the Ruby skill to check the type definitions and code style of the project in the current directory.

FAQPage Schema
How do I add static typing to a Ruby project to catch type errors before runtime?

To add static typing to Ruby, use RBS to define type signatures in a `sig/` directory and Steep to check them. This approach enforces type safety and catches errors before runtime, improving overall code maintainability.

Can I enforce both code style and type checking together in Ruby 3.2+?

Yes, you can enforce both code style and type checking in Ruby 3.2+ by combining RuboCop for style consistency and Steep with RBS for type safety. This ensures strict coding conventions and robust type definitions across your project.

What is the best way to maintain a large Ruby codebase and reduce runtime errors?

The best way to maintain large Ruby codebases is introducing static type checking with RBS and Steep alongside RSpec tests and RuboCop. This enforces strict type definitions and quality standards, leading to more robust applications.

Does this static typing approach work with existing Ruby on Rails applications?

Yes, this static typing approach works with Ruby on Rails applications. You can ensure critical business logic modules adhere to strict type definitions and coding standards by defining types in `sig/` before deployment.

How do I check type definitions and code style for my current Ruby project?

To check type definitions and code style, run the Ruby skill in your current project directory. It validates RBS type signatures in `sig/` and enforces coding conventions using Steep, RSpec, and RuboCop.
