AI Coding Skills for Ruby on Rails

Generate OpenAPI 3.1 documentation from your API codebase. Auto-detects Express, Fastify, NestJS, Django, FastAPI, Flask, Rails, Spring, Go, and more. Triggers: you need API documentation, OpenAPI spec, Swagger docs, endpoint reference, or REST API docs.

Opinionated Rails conventions: rich models, concerns, CRUD-everything, state-as-records, minimal dependencies, Minitest with fixtures. Load this skill BEFORE any code-level thinking, not only before editing a file. It is required the moment a task touches Rails code in ANY way: designing or even just discussing a data model, schema, migration, entity, association, field, validation, class, or method name; writing, planning, reviewing, analyzing, testing, debugging, or refactoring; or proposing any model, table, column, route, or code snippet inline in chat. If you are about to name a model or sketch a column you are already in scope, even in an exploratory back-and-forth where no file is written yet. Do not let a "we're just discussing" framing defer it. Do NOT use for non-Rails backends, NestJS, or general architecture (use nestjs-modular-monolith or coding-guidelines).

Use when opening OpenRig fleet terminals as a herdr wall — turning a rig, pod, mission, slice, or saved view into live interactive agent tiles via `rig terminal`, watching another rig read-only, or driving herdr on an agent's request ("open all my rigs + a mission as views"). Covers the `rig terminal open|views|status` verbs, the honest-partial/degrade reading of the result, the read-only-by-construction rail for cross-rig views, scroll/copy out of the box, and the same-size-only duplicate-pane limit. herdr is the default, proof-gated provider.

Conventions and best practices for building web applications with Ruby on Rails. Use when scaffolding Rails apps or generators, designing ActiveRecord models and migrations, wiring up Hotwire/Turbo/Stimulus interactivity, setting up background jobs or caching, or writing RSpec/Minitest coverage for Rails code.

Rails 7+ specialist that optimizes Active Record queries with includes/eager_load, implements Turbo Frames and Turbo Streams for partial page updates, configures Action Cable for WebSocket connections, sets up Sidekiq workers for background job processing, and writes comprehensive RSpec test suites. Use when building Rails 7+ web applications with Hotwire, real-time features, or background job processing. Invoke for Active Record optimization, Turbo Frames/Streams, Action Cable, Sidekiq, RSpec Rails.

Discovers and exploits mass assignment (autobinding) in REST APIs by injecting unexpected or hidden parameters (e.g. role, isAdmin, plan) into create/update requests, using Burp Suite Intruder, Arjun, and param-miner to find bindable fields on ORM-backed endpoints (Rails, Django, Laravel, Spring). Use when testing REST APIs for privilege escalation or authorization bypass via unintended parameter binding.

Full Sentry SDK setup for Ruby. Use when asked to add Sentry to Ruby, install sentry-ruby, setup Sentry in Rails/Sinatra/Rack, or configure error monitoring, tracing, logging, metrics, profiling, or crons for Ruby applications. Also handles migration from AppSignal, Honeybadger, Bugsnag, Rollbar, or Airbrake. Supports Rails, Sinatra, Rack, Sidekiq, and Resque.

Hunt Insecure Deserialization — Java gadget chains (ysoserial), PHP object injection (phpggc), Python pickle RCE, .NET BinaryFormatter, Ruby Marshal.load, JNDI/Log4Shell. RCE via deserialization is almost always Critical. Use when target runs Java, PHP serialization, Python pickle, .NET, or Ruby on Rails.

Use when the user says 'build me an app', 'create a project from this spec', 'scaffold a new repo', 'generate a starter', 'turn this idea into code', 'bootstrap a project', 'I have requirements and need a codebase', or provides a natural-language project specification and expects a complete, runnable repository. Stack-agnostic: Next.js, FastAPI, Rails, Go, Rust, Flutter, and more.

Expert TSA cybersecurity compliance advisor for critical infrastructure owners and operators. Use this skill whenever a user asks about TSA Security Directives for pipelines, freight railroads, passenger rail, public transit, or bus operators; the TSA Cyber Risk Management Program (CRMP); Cybersecurity Implementation Plan (CIP); Cybersecurity Operational Implementation Plan (COIP); Cybersecurity Assessment Plan (CAP); incident reporting to CISA; designation of a Cybersecurity Coordinator; Critical Cyber Systems (CCS); OT/IT network segmentation; the TSA November 2024 NPRM; or any directive in the SD Pipeline-2021 series, SD 1580-21-01 (freight rail), or SD 1582-21-01 (public transit/passenger rail). Also trigger for questions like "are we covered by TSA directives?", "what does the TSA require for pipeline cybersecurity?", "how do I build a CIP?", "what must I report to CISA?", or any request involving transportation critical infrastructure cybersecurity compliance.

RSpec testing best practices for Ruby and Rails applications, covering test organization, data management, and isolation patterns.

Hunt server-side template injection (SSTI) across Jinja2 (Flask/Django), Twig (Symfony), Freemarker (Java), ERB (Rails), Spring, Velocity, Mako, Thymeleaf, Smarty. Detection probes use double-curly and dollar-curly math expressions evaluated server-side. Once an engine is fingerprinted, escalate to RCE via the engine-specific class-walker, callback-registrar, or Execute-utility patterns documented in disclosed reports. Detection patterns: error messages reveal engine, blank or numeric eval reveals expression mode. Targets: email templates, PDF/report generators, CMS preview features, error pages with user input. Use when hunting RCE via template rendering, when content shows engine fingerprints, when finding endpoints that compose strings with user input before render.

Deploys Llama Guard 3 safety classification, NeMo Guardrails programmable dialogue rails, and LLM Guard input/output scanner pipelines as complementary runtime defenses that inspect and constrain LLM prompts and responses. Use when adding a production runtime safety layer to an LLM, RAG, or agent application to block jailbreaks, prompt injection (OWASP LLM01), toxic content, or sensitive-data leakage before it reaches or leaves the model.

NVIDIA's runtime safety framework for LLM applications. Features jailbreak detection, input/output validation, fact-checking, hallucination detection, PII filtering, toxicity detection. Uses Colang 2.0 DSL for programmable rails. Production-ready, runs on T4 GPU.

Trigger when you would normally reach for pytest, gh, mypy, black, or other raw repo tooling. Redirect to `sm swab`, `sm scour`, `sm buff`, `sm sail`, `sm refit`, or `sm doctor` so remediation follows the established rails. Also trigger when filing issues about slop-mop friction — use `sm barnacle file` / `/slopmop:sm-barnacle`, never `gh issue create`.
