Live repository

Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill passed all 6 checks. We read its files at one commit and looked for the things that make a skill dangerous to run — not for whether it works.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No undeclared network calls: passed

    Makes no network calls.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

    Scanned dchuk/rails_ai_agents at e3f5bd8229.

    The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

This is a static scan, not a review. It reads the skill's files; it does not run them, and it cannot tell you whether the skill is any good or whether the code does what its description says. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent.

About this skill

What it does

This skill provides expertise in Rails architecture. It can analyze existing Rails applications, suggest improvements to their structure and design, and explain architectural patterns commonly used within the Ruby on Rails framework. The agent can also help generate new Rails application structures based on specific requirements.

When to use it

  • Refactoring a legacy Rails app: Get advice on how to improve an older application's maintainability and scalability.
  • Designing a new Rails API: Receive guidance on structuring a new Rails-based backend for a mobile or web application.
  • Understanding architectural patterns: Learn about common design patterns like Service Objects, Form Objects, and Decorators in the context of Rails development.
  • Troubleshooting performance issues: Identify potential bottlenecks related to architecture within an existing Rails application.

Key capabilities

  • Rails application analysis
  • Architectural pattern explanation
  • Application structure generation
  • Refactoring suggestions

Example prompts

  • "Analyze this Rails codebase and suggest ways to improve its modularity."
  • "I'm building a new Rails API for mobile devices. Can you help me design the directory structure?"
  • "Explain the Service Object pattern in Rails, with an example."

Tips & gotchas

The agent’s effectiveness is dependent on providing sufficient context about the existing codebase or desired application functionality. Be prepared to share relevant code snippets or detailed requirements for optimal results.
