AI Coding Skills for Ruby

Browse the best AI coding skills for Ruby in 2026, Rails 8 scaffolding, RSpec / Minitest patterns, Sorbet typing, ActiveRecord schemas, Sidekiq jobs, and Stripe payments. Works with every major AI coding tool.

Short answer

The best AI coding skills for Ruby are skills-hub's `code-review`, `unit-test` (RSpec + Minitest), `api-scaffold` (Rails 8 with Solid stack), `db-schema` (ActiveRecord), `secure` (Brakeman + bundler-audit), and `stripe` integration. All portable across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, Copilot, and Cline.

Ruby in 2026 means Rails 8 with the Solid stack (Solid Queue, Solid Cache, Solid Cable replacing Redis dependencies), and AI tooling has matured around it. The skills below detect your Ruby stack (Rails 8+, RSpec, Minitest, Sidekiq, Sorbet typing where present, Hotwire / Turbo) and emit idiomatic Ruby, proper service objects, well-typed if Sorbet is present, ActiveRecord that doesn't hit N+1 cliffs.

  3. 03dynamic-skill-loader

    1 installs

    Auto-detects the current project's technology stack and hot-loads context-appropriate skills at session start using Claude Code's SessionStart hook with reloadSkills: true. Detects Node.js/TypeScript, Next.js, Python, Rust, Go, Ruby, and monorepo layouts. Emits a .claude/dynamic-context.md with the detected stack and recommended skill list, then signals Claude Code to reload skills before the first agent turn.

  4. 04grade-tests

    Grades a specified set of test methods individually and produces a concise table mapping each test (fully-qualified name) to a letter grade (A–F), a score band, and a one-line note — designed to be posted as a PR comment. Use when the caller wants per-test feedback on a curated list of methods (for example, the new or modified tests in a pull request), not a suite-wide audit. Polyglot: .NET, Python, TS/JS, Java, Go, Ruby, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, PowerShell, C++. Input is a list of test methods (or method bodies / file+line spans); output is a compact markdown table plus a short summary. DO NOT USE FOR: full suite audits (use test-quality-auditor agent or test-anti-patterns), writing new tests (use code-testing-generator agent or writing-mstest-tests), fixing failures, or measuring code coverage.

  5. 05test-gap-analysis

    Performs pseudo-mutation analysis on production code in any language to find gaps in existing tests. Use when the user asks to find weak or shallow tests, discover untested edge cases, or check whether tests would catch a bug — e.g. "would my tests catch it if someone changed the code", "would a subtle logic or boundary change slip past the current tests", "are my tests strong enough to catch a subtle bug". Evaluates test effectiveness through mutation-style reasoning: analyzes mutation points (boundaries, boolean flips, null returns, exception removal, arithmetic changes) and checks whether tests would detect each. Polyglot: .NET, Python, TS/JS, Java, Go, Ruby, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, PowerShell, C++. DO NOT USE FOR: writing new tests (use code-testing-agent, or writing-mstest-tests for MSTest), detecting anti-patterns (use test-anti-patterns), measuring assertion diversity (use assertion-quality), or running actual mutation testing tools (Stryker, mutmut, PIT, cargo-mutants).

  6. 06find-untested-sources

    Parse-only static analysis that pairs source files with the tests referencing them and emits JSON listing untested files ordered by API surface, each with a suggested_test_path. Roslyn engine for C#/.NET (namespace-aware), tree-sitter engine for polyglot repos (Python, TS/JS, Go, Java, Rust, Ruby). USE FOR: where to write tests next, which files have no tests, find untested code, build a source-to-test pairing map, prioritized test-gap worklist. DO NOT USE FOR: line/branch coverage or CRAP risk (use coverage-analysis); whether existing tests are strong (use test-gap-analysis or assertion-quality).

  8. 08rspec

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

    Buildfrom Mindrally Skills
  9. 09test-anti-patterns

    Audits an existing test file or suite in any language for anti-patterns and quality issues — produces a severity-ranked report (Critical/Warning/Info). INVOKE whenever asked to audit or review tests, find what's wrong with a suite, judge whether tests are any good, or check for: tests that pass but verify nothing, missing assertions, swallowed exceptions, self-comparing / tautological assertions, coverage-touching tests, broad exceptions, flaky or order-dependent tests (Thread.Sleep, DateTime.Now, shared state), duplicated tests, or magic values — in .NET, Python/pytest, TS/Jest, Java, Go, Ruby or C++. DO NOT USE FOR: writing new tests (use code-testing-agent, or writing-mstest-tests for MSTest); running tests (use run-tests); migration; assertion-diversity metrics (use assertion-quality); coverage/CRAP metrics (use coverage-analysis); the testsmells.org academic catalog (use test-smell-detection); fixing or modernizing MSTest tests, assertions, attributes, or lifecycle (use writing-ms

  14. 14test-smell-detection

    Deep-dive audit using the full testsmells.org 19-smell academic catalog for tests in any language. Every finding maps to a named, citable smell from the research literature (Assertion Roulette, Duplicate Assert, Mystery Guest, Eager Test, Sensitive Equality, Conditional Test Logic, Sleepy Test, Magic Number Test, etc.) with research-backed severity. Polyglot: .NET (MSTest/xUnit/NUnit/TUnit), Python (pytest/unittest), TS/JS (Jest/Vitest/Mocha/node:test), Java (JUnit/TestNG), Go, Ruby (RSpec/Minitest), Rust, Swift, Kotlin (JUnit/Kotest), PowerShell (Pester), C++ (GoogleTest/Catch2). INVOKE ONLY when explicitly asked for the testsmells.org 19-smell academic catalog or citable smell names from the literature. DO NOT USE FOR: general or pragmatic audits — use test-anti-patterns; writing new tests (use code-testing-agent, or writing-mstest-tests for MSTest); running tests (use run-tests); framework migration.

  15. 15test-tagging

    Analyzes test suites in any language and tags each test with standardized traits (positive, negative, critical-path, boundary, smoke, regression, integration, performance, security). Use when the user wants to categorize, audit, or label tests with traits. Works across .NET (MSTest/xUnit/NUnit/TUnit), Python (pytest), TS/JS (Jest/Vitest), Java, Go, Ruby, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, PowerShell, and C++ — auto-editing when the framework has canonical tag syntax, otherwise report-only. Do not use for writing new tests, running tests, or migrating frameworks.

  16. 16assertion-quality

    Analyzes the variety and depth of assertions across test suites in any language. Use when the user asks to evaluate assertion quality, find shallow tests, identify assertion-free tests (no assertions or only trivial ones like Assert.IsNotNull / toBeTruthy()), flag self-referential or tautological assertions, measure assertion diversity, or audit whether tests verify different facets of behavior. Polyglot: .NET, Python, TS/JS, Java, Go, Ruby, Rust, Swift, Kotlin, PowerShell, C++. DO NOT USE FOR: writing new tests (use code-testing-agent / writing-mstest-tests), mutation reasoning about whether tests would catch a bug (use test-gap-analysis), or a general severity-ranked anti-pattern audit (use test-anti-patterns), fixing or rewriting assertions, or writing, fixing, or modernizing MSTest tests, assertions, or attributes (use writing-mstest-tests).

Frequently asked questions

Does AI handle Rails 8 conventions?

Yes, modern skills know the Solid stack defaults (Solid Queue instead of Sidekiq for new apps, Solid Cache instead of Redis), Hotwire-first frontend, and the new default deployment target via Kamal 2.

Can AI write Sorbet-typed Ruby?

Yes. If the project has sorbet/config and sigs, the code-review and unit-test skills emit T::Sig signatures and respect the existing typing strictness.

What's the best AI tool for Rails?

Cursor and Claude Code are both strong. Cursor's solargraph + ruby-lsp combo gives the best inline experience; Claude Code excels at multi-model Rails refactors (e.g., extracting service objects).

Do AI skills handle Sidekiq vs Solid Queue?

Yes, modern skills detect which queue backend is configured and scaffold jobs in the right style (Sidekiq::Worker classes vs ApplicationJob subclasses).
