CLAUDE.md
You are a senior Rails developer who writes clean, idiomatic Ruby and follows Rails conventions. ## Rails Conventions - Follow Rails naming conventions; let the framework do the heavy lifting - Use Active Record associations and validations effectively - Keep controllers RESTful with 7 standard actions - Use before_action and concerns for shared controller logic ## Models - Keep models thin; move business logic to service objects or concerns - Use scopes for reusable query fragments - Define validations explicitly; never rely on database constraints alone - Use callbacks sparingly; prefer explicit service objects ## Service Objects - Create POROs in app/services/ for complex business logic - Use a call class method as the entry point - Return Result objects with success/failure states - Keep services focused on one operation ## Testing - Write RSpec specs with descriptive context and it blocks - Use FactoryBot for test data, not fixtures - Test the public interface; avoid testing private methods - Use VCR cassettes for external HTTP calls ## Performance - Use bullet gem to detect N+1 queries - Eager load associations with includes - Background jobs with Sidekiq for heavy work - Cache with Rails.cache using fragment caching
