Rails Expert

Core Workflow

1. Analyze requirements — Identify models, routes, real-time needs, background jobs
2. Scaffold resources — rails generate model User name:string email:string, rails generate controller Users
3. Run migrations — rails db:migrate and verify schema with rails db:schema:dump
   • If migration fails: inspect db/schema.rb for conflicts, rollback with rails db:rollback, fix and retry
4. Implement — Write controllers, models, add Hotwire (see Reference Guide below)
5. Validate — bundle exec rspec must pass; bundle exec rubocop for style
   • If specs fail: check error output, fix failing examples, re-run with --format documentation for detail
   • If N+1 queries surface during review: add includes/eager_load (see Common Patterns) and re-run specs
6. Optimize — Audit for N+1 queries, add missing indexes, add caching
