What it does

The authorization-pundit skill enables AI agents to generate Pundit authorization scopes and rules for Rails applications. It can create new policies, modify existing ones, and provide explanations of the generated code based on user requests. This simplifies the process of implementing fine-grained access control within a Rails environment.

• Rapid Policy Generation: Quickly generate Pundit authorization scopes and rules for new models or features in your Rails application.
• Policy Modification: Modify existing Pundit policies based on evolving business requirements, such as adding new conditions or roles.
• Understanding Authorization Logic: Get explanations of the generated Pundit code to understand how access control is being implemented.
