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 pproenca/dot-skills at cf93c57cac.

    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 a comprehensive guide to Ruby on Rails development best practices, focusing on performance and maintainability. It offers 45 prioritized rules across eight categories to assist with code generation and automated refactoring. The skill helps developers write efficient and secure Rails applications by providing guidance on various aspects of backend development.

When to use it

  • When writing new Rails controllers, models, or views.
  • For optimizing ActiveRecord queries and database access patterns.
  • When implementing caching strategies (fragment, Russian doll, low-level).
  • To build or refactor API endpoints.
  • During code review to identify N+1 queries and security vulnerabilities.
  • When designing background jobs using Sidekiq or Active Job.

Key capabilities

  • Provides prioritized rules for database & ActiveRecord optimization (e.g., eager loading associations, adding indexes).
  • Offers guidance on controller and routing best practices (e.g., thin controllers, strong parameters, RESTful routes).
  • Includes security recommendations (e.g., parameterized queries, CSRF protection).
  • Covers model and business logic considerations (e.g., validation at the model level, using service objects).
  • Addresses caching and performance strategies.
  • Provides advice for API design and background job implementation.

Example prompts

  • "Generate a Rails controller with strong parameters."
  • "How can I optimize this ActiveRecord query to avoid N+1 queries?"
  • "What are the best practices for implementing fragment caching in Rails?"

Tips & gotchas

  • The skill focuses on established Ruby on Rails development patterns and doesn't cover all possible scenarios.
  • Prioritize rules based on their impact level (CRITICAL, HIGH, MEDIUM-HIGH, LOW-MEDIUM) as indicated within the guide.
  • This is a reference guide; it may require some understanding of Rails concepts to fully utilize its recommendations.
