Install target

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 spjoshis/claude-code-plugins at ddcf16ef7b.

    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 access to common Rails design patterns and best practices. It can help generate code snippets, explain architectural decisions, and suggest improvements for existing Rails applications. The skill aims to improve code quality and maintainability by leveraging established solutions to recurring problems within the Ruby on Rails framework.

When to use it

  • Refactoring a legacy Rails application: Get suggestions for applying patterns like Service Objects or Decorators to improve structure.
  • Implementing a new feature in a Rails app: Ask for guidance on how to best approach the implementation using appropriate design patterns.
  • Understanding existing Rails code: Request explanations of specific code sections and identify applied patterns.
  • Learning about Rails development: Explore common solutions to recurring problems within the framework.

Key capabilities

  • Pattern identification in existing code
  • Code generation based on established patterns
  • Explanation of design pattern implementations
  • Suggestions for architectural improvements

Example prompts

  • "Show me an example of a Service Object in Rails."
  • "How can I implement the Decorator pattern to format user data?"
  • "Explain how the CQRS pattern could be applied to this controller action."

Tips & gotchas

The skill's effectiveness relies on providing sufficient context about the existing codebase or desired functionality. A basic understanding of Rails concepts is helpful for interpreting and applying the generated suggestions.
