Rails Upgrade Analyzer
Provides comprehensive Ruby on Rails upgrade assessments, version comparisons, and safe, selective file merging strategies.
This skill streamlines the complex process of upgrading Ruby on Rails applications by providing a structured, step-by-step analysis of version gaps, breaking changes, and configuration updates. It intelligently identifies local customizations, analyzes JavaScript dependencies like Hotwire and Stimulus, and offers a selective merge process that prevents the accidental overwriting of critical application files that often occurs with standard upgrade commands.
