The Ruby Bundler Skill automates common Bundler workflows, making it easy to install, update, and audit Ruby dependencies without manual command-wrangling.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Install Dependencies: Run bundle install to install all gems, with options for groups and deployment.
  • Add New Gems: Suggest and add new gems to appropriate Gemfile groups and install them.
  • Update & Audit: Update gems safely and audit for vulnerabilities.
  • Troubleshooting: Provide targeted fixes for common Bundler errors.

Quick Start

Use the Ruby Bundler Skill to install your dependencies in a project by running the bundled scripts or commands in the skill (e.g., bundle_install.sh) to set up your environment.

FAQPage Schema
How do I install Ruby gem dependencies using Bundler?

Bundle install reads your Gemfile and installs all specified gems and their dependencies. Run bundle install in your project root to set up your gem environment for development, test, or production contexts with appropriate group scoping.

How do I add a new gem to my Gemfile and install it?

Use bundle add to suggest and add gems to your Gemfile with version constraints, then automatically install them into the correct groups. This handles both the Gemfile update and installation in one step.

Can I update gems safely and check for security vulnerabilities?

Bundle update upgrades gems to newer versions while respecting constraints, and bundle audit scans your Gemfile.lock for known vulnerabilities. Run both to keep dependencies current and secure.

What do I do when bundle install fails or my Gemfile.lock has conflicts?

Gemfile.lock conflicts occur when dependencies clash across environments. Bundler troubleshooting resolves version constraint issues, handles group scoping errors, and provides targeted fixes for common installation failures.

Does Bundler work across development, test, and production environments?

Yes, Bundler manages gem groups—development, test, and default—so you can install environment-specific gems. Use group options with bundle install to deploy only production gems when needed.

Why should I use Bundler instead of installing gems individually?

Bundler locks exact gem versions in Gemfile.lock, ensuring reproducible environments across machines and deployments. It automates dependency resolution, group management, and security auditing at scale.
