Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

Automated safety checks

scanned 12 Oct 2026

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 kaakati/rails-enterprise-dev at bd0b7c1cc3.
The exact upstream commit SHA that was scanned is recorded, so the result refers to specific bytes.

Commit: bd0b7c1cc3

Scanned: 10 files, 2,989 lines
Copies in repo: 2 — all of them scanned

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 guidance and examples for applying common RSpec testing patterns in Ruby on Rails applications. It helps developers write more maintainable, readable, and effective tests by leveraging established best practices. The focus is on improving test structure and clarity to reduce complexity and improve overall code quality.

When to use it

When refactoring existing RSpec tests to improve readability and maintainability.
When designing new features and wanting to implement robust unit and integration tests from the start.
To understand and apply common testing patterns like context groups, shared examples, and test doubles.
For teams adopting or standardizing their RSpec testing practices within a Rails environment.

Key capabilities

Guidance on structuring RSpec tests using context groups.
Explanation of how to utilize shared examples for DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) testing.
Information about employing test doubles (mocks, stubs, and spies).

Example prompts

"Show me an example of a well-structured RSpec test using context groups."
"How can I use shared examples to avoid repetition in my RSpec tests?"
"Explain how to effectively use mocks in my Rails RSpec tests."

Tips & gotchas

This skill assumes familiarity with basic RSpec and Ruby on Rails concepts. To get the most out of it, have a foundational understanding of testing principles and the RSpec framework before diving into advanced patterns.
