Does this require RuboCop to be installed?

Yes, it uses 'bundle exec rubocop' to find violations and verify that the refactoring successfully cleared all offenses.

How does this skill update my project settings?

It modifies your .rubocop.yml or .rubocop.local.yml file to update the Metrics/MethodLength Max threshold to your target value.

Does it automatically refactor the code immediately?

No, it identifies violations and creates a structured plan and brief. You can then use the /plan-execute command to perform the suggested refactorings.

What refactoring strategies does it suggest?

The skill recommends proven techniques such as extracting methods, implementing early returns, extracting conditions, and using lookup hashes to consolidate logic.

Can I specify a custom line limit?

Yes, you can provide a target threshold as an argument or the skill will prompt you to enter one during execution.

Enforces stricter method length limits by updating RuboCop configurations and generating structured refactoring plans for oversized functions.

This skill streamlines code quality improvements in Ruby on Rails projects by automating the reduction of maximum lines per method. It scans your codebase for Metrics/MethodLength violations, updates your RuboCop configuration files, and produces a detailed implementation brief. By providing specific refactoring strategies—such as extracting methods and utilizing early returns—it empowers developers to transform complex, bloated logic into clean, maintainable code through a structured, AI-guided workflow.
