SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing maintainable, idiomatic Ruby code requires deep knowledge of metaprogramming, Rails conventions, and testing practices that many developers struggle to apply consistently. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Idiomatic Ruby & Rails Development: Produces code following community conventions, MVC architecture, and proper ActiveRecord patterns. - Testing & Quality: Generates RSpec/Minitest tests with fixtures and mocks, plus RuboCop configuration for static analysis. - Performance Optimization: Provides profiling guidance and benchmarks using benchmark-ips, with refactoring suggestions for legacy code. - Use Case: When refactoring a legacy Rails controller, use this Skill to restructure it following Rails conventions, add RSpec coverage, and include a .rubocop.yml for ongoing code quality. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to refactor your Ruby class using idiomatic patterns and generate matching RSpec tests with a RuboCop configuration.

FAQPage Schema
How do I write idiomatic Ruby code with metaprogramming?

Idiomatic Ruby metaprogramming uses modules, mixins, and DSLs while favoring blocks and enumerables over explicit loops. Follow community conventions, handle exceptions with proper rescue/ensure patterns, and prioritize readability before performance.

RSpec vs Minitest for Ruby testing?

Both RSpec and Minitest are supported for Ruby testing with fixtures and mocks. RSpec offers expressive DSL-style specs popular in Rails projects, while Minitest provides a lighter, built-in alternative. Choose based on your project's existing conventions.

How do I optimize Ruby code performance?

Ruby performance optimization starts with profiling to find bottlenecks, then benchmarking changes with benchmark-ips to measure real impact. Optimize for readability first and performance second, targeting only proven hot spots.

Does RuboCop work with Rails projects?

Yes, RuboCop works with Rails projects through a .rubocop.yml configuration file placed at the project root. It enforces Ruby style conventions and static analysis rules, and can be tailored to Rails-specific patterns.

How do I refactor legacy Ruby code?

Legacy Ruby refactoring follows Rails conventions and idioms: clarify goals and constraints first, apply incremental changes with test coverage from RSpec or Minitest, and validate outcomes with benchmarks. Include a Gemfile and .rubocop.yml to lock in standards.
