Automated safety checks
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.

About this skill
What it does
This skill allows AI agents to understand and reason about Rails application architecture. It can analyze code, identify components, and explain the relationships between different parts of a Rails system. The agent is capable of describing MVC patterns within a Rails app and explaining how controllers, views, and models interact.
When to use it
- Debugging: When encountering issues in a Rails application, this skill can help pinpoint architectural bottlenecks or design flaws contributing to the problem.
- Code Review: Use it to analyze new code contributions for adherence to established architectural patterns within a Rails project.
- Onboarding: New developers joining a team can leverage this skill to quickly grasp the overall structure and organization of an existing Rails application.
- Refactoring Planning: Before undertaking significant refactoring efforts, use this skill to assess the current architecture and identify potential areas for improvement.
Key capabilities
- Understanding MVC patterns in Rails applications.
- Analyzing code to identify controllers, views, and models.
- Explaining relationships between components within a Rails system.
- Identifying architectural design flaws.
Example prompts
- "Explain the architecture of this Rails application." (followed by providing relevant code)
- "How do the controllers and views interact in this Rails project?"
- “What are some potential architectural issues with this model?”
Tips & gotchas
To get the most accurate results, provide the agent with sufficient context, such as specific files or code snippets. The skill's effectiveness depends on the clarity and organization of the underlying Rails codebase.
