How does this skill help with Rails development?

It enforces 'Vanilla Rails' patterns such as delegated types, resource-oriented controllers, and specific naming conventions to ensure the codebase remains maintainable and standard.

When should I invoke the /shape command?

You should use /shape after you have finished a brainstorming session and have a clear idea of the requirements, but before you start creating the implementation plan or writing code.

What is feature shaping in this context?

Shaping is the process of defining the boundaries, architectural patterns, and work breakdown of a feature after brainstorming but before writing any implementation code.

What kind of documentation does the shaping skill generate?

It generates a standardized Markdown file in the docs/shaping/ directory that outlines the feature scope, pattern decisions, PR sequence, and any open questions.

생산성 및 워크플로

Transforms brainstormed ideas into structured implementation plans using standardized Ruby on Rails patterns and pull request breakdowns.

소개

The shaping skill bridges the gap between high-level brainstorming and low-level coding by applying opinionated 'Vanilla Rails' patterns to new features. It guides developers through a multi-phase workflow—confirming scope, identifying relevant architectural patterns (like delegated types, Hotwire, or data modeling), and documenting technical decisions. The process concludes with a structured work breakdown into logical Pull Requests and a comprehensive shaping document, ensuring that implementation follows best practices and remains organized throughout the development lifecycle.
