rails-architecture

rails-architecture is a skill for Claude Code from ThibautBaissac/rails_ai_agents. It costs 88 tokens per session (1,321 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A Rails architecture guidance skill for deciding where application code should live. It explains when to use models, controllers, services, query objects, policies, concerns, components, jobs, forms, mailers, or channels.

In plain words
What is it for?
Planning feature structure, choosing between Rails patterns, organizing code, and refactoring logic into the part of the application best suited to it.
Why use it?
It reduces the guesswork that leads to oversized controllers, models, or mixed responsibilities. Clear boundaries make Rails code easier to change and review.

    Skill selects an external model or provider that may use a different account or billing plan than the operator expects. Undisclosed model switches can cause unexpected cost or quota consumption.
    Fix: Remove the model/provider override or disclose it prominently and require explicit operator approval before invoking an external coding CLI or billed model.

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

rails-architecture 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 12d 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.

Modern Rails 8 Architecture Patterns

Architecture Decision Tree

Where should this code go?
|
+- View/display formatting?       -> Presenter (@presenter-agent)
+- Complex business logic?        -> Service Object (@service-agent)
+- Complex database query?        -> Query Object (@query-agent)
+- Shared behavior across models? -> Concern (/rails-concern skill)
+- Authorization logic?           -> Policy (@policy-agent)
+- Reusable UI with logic?        -> ViewComponent (@viewcomponent-agent)
+- Async/background work?         -> Job (@job-agent, /solid-queue-setup skill)
+- Complex form (multi-model)?    -> Form Object (@form-agent)
+- Transactional email?           -> Mailer (@mailer-agent)
+- Real-time/WebSocket?           -> Channel (/action-cable-patterns skill)
+- Data validation only?          -> Model (@model-agent)
+- HTTP request/response only?    -> Controller (@controller-agent)

Layer Responsibilities

Layer Responsibility Should NOT contain
Controller HTTP, params, response Business logic, queries
Model Data, validations, relations Display logic, HTTP
Service Business logic, orchestration HTTP, display logic
Query Complex database queries Business logic
Presenter View formatting, badges Business logic, queries
Policy Authorization rules Business logic
Component Reusable UI encapsulation Business logic
Job Async processing HTTP, display logic
Form Complex form handling Persistence logic
Mailer Email composition Business logic
Channel WebSocket communication Business logic

When NOT to Abstract

Situation Keep It Simple Don't Create
Simple CRUD (< 10 lines) Keep in controller Service object
Used only once Inline the code Abstraction
Simple query with 1-2 conditions Model scope Query object
Basic text formatting Helper method Presenter
Single model form form_with model: Form object
Simple partial without logic Partial ViewComponent

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.
