What this skill does


# Rails Pattern Research

## What This Is

The **Real World Rails** repository is a collection of 200+ production Rails
application source code. The `apps/` directory contains the full source of
each app — models, migrations, schema, controllers, views, concerns, gems.
The `engines/` directory contains Rails engines.

## Locating the Repository

Look for a directory called `real-world-rails` with an `apps/` subdirectory.
Check the current working directory first, then `~/src/real-world-rails`. If
not found, ask the user where it lives.

## What To Do

The user gives you a topic. Spin up parallel agents to search the apps for
how real codebases implement that pattern. Read actual code — models,
schemas, migrations, associations, validations, query patterns — not just
file names. Synthesize what you find into a clear analysis.

If the user's wording suggests they want help choosing a pattern for their
current project (words like "compare for us", "which fits best",
"adversarial", "debate", "evaluate for our project"), also spin up adversarial
agents that each argue for a different pattern in the context of the current
project's architecture and goals.
