Generate a new Rails project named $1 in the current directory. You may reference @CLAUDE.md for general guidance, though the guidance here takes precedence.

When to Use

  • You need to bootstrap a new Rails project with the opinionated stack defined in this skill.
  • The project should start with Rails, PostgreSQL, Inertia.js, React, Vite, Tailwind, Sidekiq, and Redis already planned together.
  • You want setup guidance that covers project creation, conventions, testing, and verification for a fresh Rails app.

Tech Stack

Set up the following tech stack:

  • Rails ~8 with PostgreSQL - Server-side framework and database
  • Inertia.js ~2.3 - Bridges Rails and React for SPA-like experience without API
  • React ~19.2 - Frontend UI framework
  • Vite ~5 - JavaScript bundler with HMR
  • Tailwind CSS ~4 - Utility-first CSS framework
  • Sidekiq 8 - Background job processing with scheduled jobs via sidekiq-scheduler
  • Redis - Sessions, caching, and job queue
