SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers write, review, and refactor Ruby code according to the SOLID principles, leading to more robust, flexible, and maintainable software.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • SOLID Principle Guidance: Provides actionable checklists, violation patterns, and refactoring strategies for each of the five SOLID principles (Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion).
  • Code Review Aid: Offers heuristics and patterns to quickly identify SOLID violations during code reviews.
  • Refactoring Assistance: Suggests Ruby-idiomatic ways to refactor code to adhere to SOLID principles.
  • Use Case: When designing a new class, use this Skill to ensure it adheres to the Single Responsibility Principle, preventing future maintenance headaches. When reviewing a pull request, use the checklists to identify potential OCP violations before they become problems.

Quick Start

Use the solid-principles skill to identify potential Single Responsibility Principle violations in the provided Ruby class.

FAQPage Schema
How do I identify SOLID principle violations in my Ruby code?

To identify SOLID principle violations in Ruby code, apply detection heuristics and violation patterns for Single Responsibility, Open/Closed, Liskov Substitution, Interface Segregation, and Dependency Inversion. This Skill provides specific checklists to quickly spot design flaws during code reviews.

What is the best way to refactor a Ruby class that violates the Single Responsibility Principle?

The best way to refactor a Ruby class violating the Single Responsibility Principle is to apply Ruby-idiomatic refactoring strategies. This involves splitting the class into distinct objects based on detected violation patterns to improve overall maintainability and flexibility.

Can I use these SOLID design principles to review an existing Ruby pull request?

Yes, you can use SOLID design principles to review an existing Ruby pull request. This Skill offers actionable checklists and heuristics to evaluate code design, detect Open/Closed violations, and suggest Ruby-idiomatic refactoring strategies before merging.

When do I need to apply the Liskov Substitution Principle in Ruby?

You need to apply the Liskov Substitution Principle in Ruby when designing class hierarchies where subclasses must be substitutable for their base classes without altering program correctness. Use this Skill to detect violation patterns and implement proper interface segregation.

How does Dependency Inversion apply to Ruby-idiomatic code design?

Dependency Inversion in Ruby-idiomatic code design involves depending on abstractions rather than concrete implementations. This Skill provides detection heuristics and refactoring strategies to properly invert dependencies, ensuring your Ruby code remains flexible and maintainable.
