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 cole-robertson/inertia-rails-skills at 77d0172e13.

    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

inertia-rails-best-practices

What it does

This skill provides a curated set of best practices for integrating the Inertia.js framework with Ruby on Rails applications. It ensures seamless state management and responsive UI updates by bridging server-side rendering with client-side interactivity.

When to use it

  • Building single-page application (SPA) experiences within an existing Rails backend without rewriting controllers or views.
  • Implementing real-time data synchronization between Rails models and the frontend interface.
  • Creating dynamic dashboards or admin panels that require frequent state updates without full page reloads.
  • Maintaining SEO-friendly server-side rendered pages while enabling interactive client-side features.

Key capabilities

  • Configures Inertia.js middleware for Rails applications to handle request routing.
  • Manages global application state using Inertia's built-in mechanisms.
  • Facilitates communication between Rails controllers and frontend components via JSON responses.
  • Provides patterns for handling form submissions and validation errors gracefully.

Example prompts

  • "Set up Inertia.js in my new Ruby on Rails project to enable SPA-like navigation."
  • "How do I pass complex model data from a Rails controller to an Inertia view component?"
  • "Create a best-practice configuration file for integrating Inertia with Hotwire in a Rails app."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your Rails version is compatible with the specific Inertia.js version you are installing, as API changes can break middleware integration. Always test form submissions thoroughly, as error handling differs significantly between traditional Rails rendering and Inertia's JSON-based feedback loops.
