About solid-ruby
solid-ruby is an architecture skill for Ruby 4.0+ and Rails 8 development, guiding coding agents to organize features into modules and apply SOLID principles. It also prescribes pre-implementation reuse checks and a parallel-agent workflow.
Key features
- 01Organizes Rails modules by feature
- 02Applies SOLID principles
- 03Checks for reusable code first
- 04Provides architecture and code templates
- 05Requires YARD docs for public methods
Use cases
- 01Plan module structure for Rails features
- 02Move business logic out of models
- 03Create services, contracts, or models
- 04Check shared code before implementation

Details
From the project READMEBefore writing any new code it requires a DRY check against app/modules/core/services and app/modules/core/contracts. See solid-principles.md for the overview, the per-principle references for SRP/OCP/LSP/ISP/DIP detail, and the templates for module/service/contract/model/error/test scaffolding.
SOLID Ruby - Modular Architecture
Agent Workflow (MANDATORY)
Before ANY implementation, spawn 3 agents in parallel, one Agent call each with a name:
- fuse-ai-pilot:explore-codebase - Analyze existing architecture
- fuse-ai-pilot:research-expert - Verify Ruby/Rails docs via Context7
- fuse-ai-pilot:sniper - Post-implementation validation
DRY - Reuse Before Creating (MANDATORY)
Before writing ANY new code:
- Grep the codebase for similar modules, services, or logic
- Check shared locations:
app/modules/core/services/,app/modules/core/contracts/ - If similar code exists -> extend/reuse instead of duplicate
- If code will be used by 2+ features -> create it in
app/modules/core/
Architecture (Modules MANDATORY)
| Layer | Location |
|---|---|
| Controllers | app/modules/[feature]/controllers/ |
| Services | app/modules/[feature]/services/ |
| Repositories | app/modules/[feature]/repositories/ |
| Contracts | app/modules/[feature]/contracts/ |
| Models | app/modules/[feature]/models/ |
| Shared | app/modules/core/{services,contracts,concerns}/ |
NEVER use flat app/ structure - always app/modules/[feature]/
Critical Rules (MANDATORY)
| Rule | Value |
|---|---|
| File limit | FUSE_SOLID_MAX_LINES |
| Controllers | Thin, delegate to services |
| Contracts | contracts/ directory ONLY (duck typing modules) |
| YARD doc | Every public method documented |
| Frozen string | # frozen_string_literal: true in every file |
| Concerns | Use for shared behavior (like interfaces) |

Templates
| Template | When to use |
|---|---|
| module.md | Feature module structure |
| service.md | Business logic service |
| contract.md | Duck typing contracts |
| model.md | Active Record model |
| error.md | Custom exceptions |

Forbidden
| Anti-Pattern | Fix |
|---|---|
Files over FUSE_SOLID_MAX_LINES | Split by responsibility |
| Business logic in models | Extract to service |
| Fat controllers | Delegate to services |
Flat app/ structure | Use app/modules/[feature]/ |
| God classes | Split by responsibility |
