sickn33/antigravity-awesome-skills/new-rails-project

Generate a new Rails project named $1 in the current directory. You may reference @CLAUDE.md for general guidance, following applicable repository/host precedence; this skill cannot override higher-priority project rules.

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

Rails guidance

• Do not use Kamal or Docker
• Do not use Rails "solid_*" components/systems
• Development should generally match production settings where possible
• Use Redis for caching

Database

• All tables use UUID primary keys (pgcrypto extension)
• Timestamps use timestamptz for timezone awareness
• JSONB columns for flexible metadata storage
• Comprehensive indexing strategy for performance
• Encrypted fields for sensitive data (OAuth tokens, API keys)

Background jobs

• Use Sidekiq 8 with Redis

Testing

• Always use minitest
• Use mocha gem and VCR for external services (only in the providers layer)
• Prefer OpenStruct for mock instances
• Only mock what's necessary

Code maintenace

• Run bundle exec rubocop -a after significant code changes
• Use .rubocop.yml for style configuration
• Security scanning with bundle exec brakeman

Frontend

• All React components and views should be TSX

General guidance

• Reuse supplied requirements and ask only for material missing choices. Select available host tools rather than assuming AskUserQuestionTool exists.

Verify

Verify the boilerplate is working by running bin/rails server and accessing the application at http://localhost:3000 via playwright MCP.

Example

User request:

Bootstrap a new Rails project with the opinionated stack defined here and verify that the generated application runs.

Limitations

• Use this skill only when the task clearly matches the scope described above.
• Do not treat the output as a substitute for environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
• Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, safety boundaries, or success criteria are missing.

Validate the project name and destination, refuse an existing/symlinked target, and confirm supported Ruby/Rails/Node/package peer ranges before scaffolding. Named versions are a historical stack choice, not a verified compatible lockfile. Use disposable local database/Redis instances and unique ports; do not mutate production or overwrite host services. UUID defaults and timestamp types require actual migration/schema verification. Run the generated tests, relevant security checks and a real requested application flow before claiming setup complete.
