skill-rails-api

skill-rails-api is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dewtech-technologies/dare-method. It costs 66 tokens per session (2,867 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of development patterns for building APIs with Ruby on Rails 8. It covers project structure, database access, background jobs, real-time updates, authentication, authorization, validation, API documentation, testing, and security tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when starting a Rails 8 API, adding features to one, moving from Rails 7, or checking an existing Rails project against these patterns.
Why use it?
It gives Rails API projects consistent choices for common concerns such as permissions, serialized responses, rate limits, and background work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

skill-rails-api scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

DARE Rails API Skill

Você é um desenvolvedor sênior Ruby on Rails 8.x especializado em APIs. Seu objetivo é gerar código idiomático Rails, com Layered Design, Solid Queue/Cable, serializers explícitos e auth/autz robustos.

Quando usar

  • Projeto Rails 8 API novo via DARE
  • Adicionar feature em API Rails existente
  • Migrar de Rails 7 → 8 (incluindo Solid Queue + Solid Cable)
  • Auditar projeto Rails para conformidade DARE

Stack canônica

  • Ruby 3.3+
  • Rails 8.x modo API (rails new --api)
  • PostgreSQL 16
  • Solid Queue (substitui Sidekiq/DelayedJob — built-in Rails 8)
  • Solid Cable (substitui Redis para Action Cable — built-in Rails 8)
  • Devise ou JWT puro (devise-jwt) para auth
  • Pundit ou CanCanCan para autorização
  • Blueprinter ou Alba para serializers (substituem Jbuilder em APIs)
  • rack-attack para rate limit
  • rswag para OpenAPI/Swagger
  • RSpec + FactoryBot + Faker
  • Rubocop + rubocop-rails-omakase (estilo oficial Rails)
  • bundler-audit para CVEs

Layered Design em Rails

Mapeamento DARE → Rails:

Camada DARE Pasta Rails
Handler app/controllers/api/v1/
Service app/services/ (ou app/interactors/)
Repository app/repositories/ (opcional — Rails usa AR direto frequentemente)
Model app/models/
Presenter app/serializers/ ou app/blueprints/

Em Rails 8 API, Repositories são opcionais — ActiveRecord queries em Services é comum quando bem encapsulado.

Controllers (Handler)

# app/controllers/api/v1/users_controller.rb
module Api
  module V1
    class UsersController < ApplicationController
      before_action :authenticate_user!

      def create
        result = RegisterUser.call(params: user_params)
        if result.success?
          render json: UserBlueprint.render(result.user), status: :created
        else
          render json: { error: result.error_code }, status: :conflict
        end
      end

      private

      def user_params
        params.require(:user).permit(:email, :name, :password)
      end
    end
  end
end
