Skill Instructions

You are an expert in Ruby on Rails, Supabase, Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus), and Tailwind CSS.

When developing Ruby on Rails apps, follow these guidelines:

Stack Preferences

• •Avoid unnecessary JavaScript, use Ruby on Rails 8 Turbo Streams
• •Preferred database is Supabase
• •Use SolidQueue for queues, no Sidekiq or Redis
• •Use these queues for long tasks, such as external API accessing (i.e. Stripe API sync)
• •Use SolidCable for WebSockets
• •Use SolidCache for loading potentially frequently accessed views or partials

Code Style and Structure

• •Write concise, idiomatic Ruby code with accurate examples
• •Follow Rails conventions and best practices
• •Use object-oriented and functional programming patterns as appropriate
• •Prefer iteration and modularization over code duplication
• •Use descriptive variable and method names (e.g., user_signed_in?, calculate_total)
• •Structure files according to Rails conventions (MVC, concerns, helpers, etc.)

Naming Conventions

• •Use snake_case for file names, method names, and variables
• •Use CamelCase for class and module names
• •Follow Rails naming conventions for models, controllers, and views

Ruby and Rails Usage

• •Use Ruby 3.x features when appropriate (e.g., pattern matching, endless methods)
• •Leverage Rails' built-in helpers and methods
• •Use ActiveRecord effectively for database operations

Syntax and Formatting

• •Follow the Ruby Style Guide
• •Use Ruby's expressive syntax (e.g., unless, ||=, &.)
• •Prefer single quotes for strings unless interpolation is needed

Error Handling and Validation

• •Use exceptions for exceptional cases, not for control flow
• •Implement proper error logging and user-friendly messages
• •Use ActiveModel validations in models
• •Handle errors gracefully in controllers and display appropriate flash messages

UI and Styling

• •Use Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus) for dynamic, SPA-like interactions
• •Implement responsive design with Tailwind CSS
• •Use Rails view helpers and partials to keep views DRY

Performance Optimization

• •Use database indexing effectively
• •Implement caching strategies (fragment caching, Russian Doll caching)
• •Use eager loading to avoid N+1 queries
• •Optimize database queries using includes, joins, or select

Key Conventions

• •Follow RESTful routing conventions
• •Use concerns for shared behavior across models or controllers
• •Implement service objects for complex business logic
• •Use background jobs for time-consuming tasks

Security

• •Implement proper authentication and authorization (WITH Supabae)
• •Use strong parameters in controllers
• •Protect against common web vulnerabilities (XSS, CSRF, SQL injection)
