review-ruby-code

A review process for changed Ruby and Rails code. It checks design, security, code quality, complexity, duplication, and test coverage, then writes findings to REVIEW.md.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to review Ruby files changed on a branch, apply Sandi Metz and SOLID design guidelines, inspect Rails patterns, run available analysis tools, and produce a linked review report.
Why use it?
It brings several checks into one review and points out design problems, risky code, and parts of the change that lack tests.

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

review-ruby-code 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/code_reviewer.rb), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Ruby Code Review

Review Ruby/Rails code changes against Sandi Metz rules, SOLID principles, Rails best practices, and security standards. Generate a structured REVIEW.md with clickable VSCode links.

Workflow

1. Detect scope

# Auto-detect base branch
git remote show origin | grep 'HEAD branch' | cut -d' ' -f5

# Get changed Ruby files (added/changed/modified/renamed only)
git diff --name-only --diff-filter=ACMR base-branch...HEAD | grep '\.rb$'

If not on a feature branch, review files specified by the user.

2. Run analysis tools

# RubyCritic on changed files
rubycritic --format json --no-browser $(git diff --name-only base...HEAD | grep '\.rb$')

# SimpleCov coverage run
COVERAGE=true bundle exec rspec

Parse rubycritic JSON for complexity/smells/duplication. Read coverage/.resultset.json for per-file coverage and uncovered lines. If tools aren't configured, invoke their respective skills for setup guidance.

Optionally run the bundled static analyzer:

ruby scripts/code_reviewer.rb <file.rb>

3. Analyze each changed file

Review in this order for each file:

OOP Design — Apply Sandi Metz rules and SOLID principles:

  • Classes ≤ 100 lines, methods ≤ 5 lines, parameters ≤ 4, instance variables ≤ 4
  • Controllers instantiate ≤ 1 object, views reference ≤ 1 instance variable
  • SRP, Open/Closed, Liskov, Interface Segregation, Dependency Inversion
  • Law of Demeter ("only talk to immediate friends")
  • Tell, Don't Ask (objects make their own decisions)
  • See references/sandi-metz-rules.md and references/solid-principles.md

Code Smells — Check for the 18 canonical smells:

  • Structural: Long Method, Large Class, Long Parameter List, Data Clump
  • Coupling: Feature Envy, Message Chains, Inappropriate Intimacy
  • Conditional: Complex conditionals, case statements (polymorphism candidates), speculative generality
  • Naming: Vague names (Manager, Handler, Processor), methods with "and", flag parameters
  • See references/sandi-metz-rules.md (Code Smells section)

Files

What ships with it

6 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

review-ruby-code is a skill published in the GitHub repository el-feo/ai-context (12 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 128 tokens to every session and 1,518 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
