Design and review Rails applications using Vanilla Rails philosophy from 37signals/Basecamp. Emphasizes thin controllers, rich domain models, and avoiding unnecessary service layers. Use when analyzing Rails codebases, reviewing PRs, or refactoring toward simpler architecture. Triggers on "service layer", "service object", "thin controller", "rich model", "vanilla rails", "dhh style", "over-engineering", "unnecessary abstraction".

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

We found nothing in the files we read that matches our rules. That does not prove the skill is safe: see the limits of static scanning.

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'vanilla-rails' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'vanilla-rails' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named vanilla-rails already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/MadBomber/experiments' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '8139ff68e8895b544661aa2ba8b53268d68652bc' -- 'ai_misc/skills/iuhoay-vanilla-rails' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'ai_misc/skills/iuhoay-vanilla-rails' ~/.agents/skills/'vanilla-rails' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'vanilla-rails' ~/.claude/skills/'vanilla-rails' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
