What problem does it solve?

This Skill automates the complex process of analyzing and performing upgrades for Ruby on Rails applications, minimizing risks and manual effort.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Version Analysis: Determines current and latest Rails versions, classifying the upgrade type (patch, minor, major).
  • Upgrade Guide & Diff: Fetches official upgrade guides and version-specific diffs from railsdiff.org.
  • Dependency Management: Checks and recommends updates for JavaScript dependencies managed via npm/yarn or importmap.
  • Selective File Merging: Guides users through a safe, manual merge process for configuration files, avoiding destructive rails app:update commands.
  • Use Case: A developer needs to upgrade a Rails 7.1 application to the latest 8.0 release. This Skill will analyze the current setup, identify breaking changes, suggest necessary JavaScript updates, and provide a step-by-step plan for safely merging configuration changes without losing local customizations.

Quick Start

Analyze my current Rails application and provide an upgrade assessment to the latest stable version.

FAQPage Schema
How do I upgrade my Ruby on Rails application to a newer version safely?▼

To upgrade Ruby on Rails safely, analyze your current application to classify the upgrade type, fetch official upgrade guides, and selectively merge configuration files to avoid losing local customizations. This mitigates risks associated with automated commands.

What is the best way to manage JavaScript dependencies during a Rails upgrade?▼

The best way to manage JavaScript dependencies during a Rails upgrade is to check and recommend updates for packages managed via npm, yarn, or importmap. This ensures frontend assets remain compatible with the new Rails version.

Why should I avoid automated rails app:update commands when upgrading?▼

You should avoid automated rails app:update commands because they can destructively overwrite local customizations in configuration files. A safer approach involves a guided, selective file merging process based on version-specific diffs.

Can I analyze my Rails application to identify breaking changes before an upgrade?▼

Yes, you can analyze your Rails application to identify breaking changes before an upgrade by fetching version-specific diffs from railsdiff.org and comparing your current setup against official upgrade guides for the target release.

How do I determine if a Rails upgrade is a patch, minor, or major version change?▼

To determine if a Rails upgrade is a patch, minor, or major version change, perform a version analysis that compares your application's current Rails version against the latest stable release to classify the upgrade type.
