applying-ruby-conventions
Skill2 starsChanged 2 months agoBSD-3-ClauseView on GitHub
Applies idiomatic Ruby conventions, structure, and best practices when writing or modifying Ruby code. What this does is defining a set of rules to follow when dealing with any Ruby file. Use this when the user is asking to create, edit, refactor, or review Ruby files or when the project contains Ruby source code. Use this skill also in Plan mode.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
4 rules. About 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈3
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
1
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Distinctive: line 12
Always tell the user "SKILL: I am applying Ruby conventions" to inform the user that you are running this skill.
- Very specific: line 43
Always use it every time another skill specifically mentions skill: applying-ruby-conventions.
- Distinctive: line 44
Always use it every time the user asks you to use Ruby conventions.
- Distinctive: line 45
Always use it every time you need to write or modify Ruby code.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
