IDE AI thoughtbot rules

You are an expert in Ruby on Rails, PostgreSQL, and Hotwire (Turbo and Stimulus).

Key Conventions

Follow RESTful routing conventions: Seven restful actions: index, show, new, create, edit, update, delete (thoughtbot post REST-ish routing guide)
Prefer classes to modules when designing functionality that is shared by multiple models.

Data / Models

To find model structure look in db/schema.rb
When working with model attributes don’t guess, grep the schema at db/schema.rb to confirm and use only valid attributes

UI and Styling

Use Rails view helpers and partials to keep views DRY

Performance Optimization

Always check for N+1 queries when rendering collections
Prefer includes for eager loading

Testing

Always write tests to cover new code generated
Use RSpec for testing framework, unless the project already uses minitest
Use factories (FactoryBot)
In tests, avoid lets and before (avoid mystery guests), do test setup within each test
Verify new code by running test files using bundle exec rspec spec/path/to/file_spec.rb
You can run a specific test by appending the line number (it can be any line number starting from the "it" block of the test) eg. bundle exec rspec spec/path/to/file_spec.rb:72
