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 shoebtamboli/rails_claude_skills at 5b4f14b271.

    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 allows AI agents to assist with debugging Ruby on Rails applications. It can analyze error messages, identify potential causes of issues, and suggest solutions based on common Rails patterns and best practices. The agent can also help interpret stack traces and pinpoint the source code responsible for errors.

When to use it

  • You're encountering an unexpected error in your Rails application and need help understanding the root cause.
  • A user reports a bug, and you want the AI agent to analyze the associated logs or error messages.
  • You’re refactoring code and suspect a regression; this skill can assist in identifying if new errors are introduced.
  • You're learning Rails and need assistance understanding complex debugging scenarios.

Key capabilities

  • Error message analysis
  • Stack trace interpretation
  • Identification of potential causes for issues
  • Suggestion of solutions based on common Rails patterns

Example prompts

  • "Can you help me debug this error: undefined method 'foo' for nil:NilClass?"
  • “I’m seeing a 500 error. Can you analyze the stack trace and tell me what might be wrong?”
  • "This is my Rails application log file, can you identify any errors or warnings?"

Tips & gotchas

The agent's effectiveness depends on providing clear and complete information about the error, including relevant code snippets and logs. It’s most effective when dealing with common Rails debugging scenarios; more complex issues might require human intervention.
