dhh-rails-style
SolidThis skill should be used when writing Ruby and Rails code in DHH's distinctive 37signals style. It applies when writing Ruby code, Rails applications, creating models, controllers, or any Ruby file. Triggers on Ruby/Rails code generation, refactoring requests, code review, or when the user mentions DHH, 37signals, Basecamp, HEY, or Campfire style. Embodies REST purity, fat models, thin controllers, Current attributes, Hotwire patterns, and the "clarity over cleverness" philosophy.

rails-8
Playbook for building full-stack Ruby on Rails 8.1 applications "the Rails way" — vanilla Rails, Hotwire (Turbo + Stimulus), the Solid stack, Propshaft + importmap, RSpec testing, ecosystem gems, OpenAPI docs, AI features, observability, and Kamal 2 deployment. Use this skill whenever the user is creating, extending, debugging, refactoring, testing, upgrading, documenting, or deploying a Rails app — or mentions Ruby on Rails, a Gemfile containing rails, ERB templates, Active Record, migrations, Hotwire, Turbo, Stimulus, Action Mailer, Active Storage, Action Text, Action Cable, Solid Queue, Solid Cache, Kamal, Thruster, RSpec, FactoryBot, simple_form, Tailwind, OpenAPI, Swagger, rswag, ruby_llm, or `bin/rails` commands. Trigger it for indirect phrasings like "my Ruby web app", "add a background job", "make this page update live", "add login to my app", "document my API", or "add AI to my app" when the project is Rails. Also for "how should I structure this in Rails?" questions.
