How does this skill handle complex controller logic?

It advocates for REST mapping, where complex actions are broken down into separate resources and standard CRUD verbs rather than adding custom methods to existing controllers.

Can I use this for frontend and CSS tasks?

Yes, it includes patterns for Stimulus controllers, Turbo Streams, and native CSS features like layers and OKLCH colors, avoiding heavy frameworks like Tailwind.

What does 'State as Records' mean in this context?

It refers to tracking model states through the presence or absence of related database records (e.g., a 'Closure' record) instead of simple boolean columns like 'is_closed'.

Does this skill recommend using gems like Devise or RSpec?

No, this skill follows the DHH philosophy of 'Vanilla Rails,' preferring custom minimal authentication and Minitest to keep the codebase simple and dependency-free.

Desarrollo de API

Applies the distinctive 37signals and DHH-inspired Ruby on Rails patterns for clean, RESTful, and maintainable codebases.

This skill transforms Claude into a domain expert in the 37signals development philosophy, emphasizing 'clarity over cleverness' in Ruby and Rails projects. It enforces strict REST purity by mapping custom actions to resources, promotes 'fat models' enriched with concerns, and prioritizes native Rails features like Hotwire and Minitest over heavy external dependencies. Ideal for developers wanting to build 'The Rails Way,' it provides specific guidance on everything from directory structure and naming conventions to database-backed state management and minimal-gem architecture.
