When should I use the Andrew Kane Gem Writer skill?

Use it whenever you are starting a new Ruby library, refactoring a gem for performance, or designing a clean public API for a Ruby project.

Can it help with existing gems?

Yes, it can analyze existing codebases and provide refactoring suggestions to align them with minimal, battle-tested Ruby library patterns.

How does it handle Rails integration?

It uses ActiveSupport.on_load hooks to extend Rails functionality without requiring Rails gems directly, preventing heavy coupling and versioning conflicts.

Does this skill work with RSpec?

No, this skill strictly follows the Andrew Kane pattern of using Minitest for testing to keep the development environment lightweight and standard-compliant.

What is the Andrew Kane philosophy for Ruby gems?

It emphasizes simplicity over cleverness, minimal dependencies, explicit code over metaprogramming, and standard library usage to ensure production stability and performance.

Architects high-performance, minimalist Ruby gems following the battle-tested patterns of Andrew Kane.

关于

The Andrew Kane Gem Architect skill equips Claude with the specific design philosophy and implementation patterns used by Andrew Kane, creator of industry-standard gems like Searchkick and Chartkick. It focuses on 'simplicity over cleverness,' helping you build production-ready Ruby libraries with zero or minimal dependencies, explicit code structures, and clean Rails integration via ActiveSupport hooks. This skill is essential for developers looking to create maintainable, high-traffic Ruby gems that prioritize performance and standard-library-first architectures.
