SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps you produce Ruby code that follows modern language conventions, is easier to read and maintain, and behaves correctly under real-world error and testing requirements.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Modern Ruby 3.x idioms: apply pattern matching, endless methods, and immutable value objects (Data) for clearer intent.
  • Robust error handling: design domain exception hierarchies and avoid unsafe patterns like bare rescue while ensuring cleanup via ensure.
  • Consistent naming, testing, and quality gates: enforce Ruby-friendly naming rules and validate behavior with RSpec/Minitest plus static analysis tools.

Use case: When refactoring a Rails-like service, you can standardize error types, adopt pattern matching for branching logic, and improve test reliability with RSpec and factories.

Quick Start

Use the Ruby Idioms and Patterns skill to guide an agent to rewrite a Ruby service method according to Ruby 3.x conventions, domain-specific exceptions, and RSpec coverage.

FAQPage Schema
How do I refactor Ruby service objects to use modern Ruby 3.x idioms?

To refactor Ruby service objects with Ruby 3.x idioms, apply pattern matching for branching logic, use endless methods, and implement immutable Data objects to clarify intent and standardize naming conventions across your project.

What is the best way to handle domain exceptions in Ruby without bare rescue?

Handling domain exceptions in Ruby without bare rescue requires designing domain-specific exception hierarchies and avoiding unsafe rescue patterns. Use the ensure keyword for reliable cleanup operations to maintain correct behavior under real-world error conditions.

How do I standardize Ruby naming conventions and test style with RSpec?

Standardizing Ruby naming conventions and test style with RSpec involves enforcing Ruby-friendly naming rules and validating behavior through consistent RSpec or Minitest coverage, ensuring reliable tests when refactoring service objects and controllers.

Does this Ruby refactoring approach work with static analysis tools like RuboCop and Sorbet?

Yes, this Ruby refactoring approach works with static analysis tools like RuboCop, Sorbet, and Brakeman. It aligns code quality by enforcing modern Ruby 3.x patterns, correct naming, and robust error handling to meet quality gate requirements.

When should I use pattern matching in Ruby controllers and service objects?

You should use pattern matching in Ruby controllers and service objects when you need clearer branching logic and intent. Applying Ruby 3.x pattern matching alongside immutable value objects improves code correctness and maintainability during refactoring.
