What is Ruby metaprogramming?

Metaprogramming in Ruby refers to the language's ability to write code that defines or modifies other code at runtime, allowing for highly dynamic and flexible software architectures.

Does this skill cover Ruby lifecycle hooks?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns for hooks such as inherited, included, and extended to manage how classes and modules interact dynamically.

What are the recommended best practices for Ruby metaprogramming?

The skill emphasizes using metaprogramming sparingly, always implementing respond_to_missing? when using method_missing, and prioritizing public_send for better visibility control.

When should I use this Claude Code skill?

Use this skill when you need Claude to generate dynamic code patterns, build internal DSLs, or refactor repetitive boilerplate into flexible Ruby modules.

开发者工具

Master dynamic method definition, reflection, and DSL creation to write flexible, DRY Ruby code.

关于

The Ruby Metaprogramming skill enables Claude to leverage the dynamic nature of Ruby to create highly flexible and extensible software. It provides standardized patterns for dynamic method definition, handling missing methods via method_missing, utilizing inheritance and inclusion hooks, and constructing robust Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs). This skill is essential for developers building complex libraries, ORMs, or middleware where code needs to adapt to runtime conditions and reduce boilerplate through advanced introspection and reflection techniques.
