Rails Model Generator

What it does

The dchuk-rails-model-generator skill automates Rails model generation. It creates files including migrations, models, and tests based on provided specifications. This significantly reduces development time for new features and database interactions within a Rails application.

When to use it

• You need to quickly scaffold a new model with associated migration and test file in your Rails project.
• You're starting a new feature that requires a custom database table and related code.
• You want to automate repetitive tasks involved in setting up basic Rails models, ensuring consistency and reducing errors.
• When you need to generate multiple models based on a predefined schema or API response.

Key capabilities

• Generates model files (e.g., app/models/).
• Creates migration files (e.g., db/migrate/).
• Produces test files (e.g., test/models/).

Example prompts

• "Generate a Rails model named 'Product' with attributes: name (string), price (decimal)."
• "Create a model called 'Article' with columns for title, content and publication_date."
• "Build a 'User' model including email, password and admin status."

Tips & gotchas

• Ensure you have a Rails environment set up before using this skill. The agent will need access to your project’s directory structure.
