Summary

  • Adds a .claude/skills/rails-docs/SKILL.md skill that points Claude at the official Rails guides (https://guides.rubyonrails.org) and API docs (https://api.rubyonrails.org) when answering Rails-specific questions (ActiveRecord, routing, controllers, views, mailers, jobs, Action Cable, Action Text, Active Storage, migrations, validations, callbacks, associations, caching, security, internals).
  • Prefers the /v8.0/-pinned doc URLs since this project targets Rails 8.0 per CLAUDE.md, to avoid relying on stale/edge trained knowledge.
  • Also reminds Claude to still apply this repo's own conventions from CLAUDE.md on top of whatever the official docs say.

Test plan

  • N/A — documentation/skill-only change, no app code touched.

Points Claude at guides.rubyonrails.org and api.rubyonrails.org
(pinned to v8.0) when answering Rails-specific questions, so answers
rely on current docs rather than potentially stale trained knowledge.
Sibling skills to rails-docs, pointing Claude at the official Turbo,
Stimulus, and Tailwind CSS docs for this project's frontend stack.
Tailwind skill notes this project pins v3 (via tailwindcss-rails),
not v4, since the two versions differ substantially.
