What it does

Ruby Pro is an agent skill from davila7/claude-code-templates. Write idiomatic Ruby code with metaprogramming, Rails patterns, and performance optimization. Specializes in Ruby on Rails, gem development, and testing frameworks.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Development, covering Backend development and Performance optimization. It works with Ruby and Ruby on Rails. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool for configuring and monitoring Claude Code. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Backend development
  • Tasks that involve Performance optimization

Example prompts

  • “/ruby-pro”

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Embrace Ruby's expressiveness and metaprogramming features
  2. Follow Ruby and Rails conventions and idioms
  3. Use blocks and enumerables effectively
  4. Handle exceptions with proper rescue/ensure patterns
  5. Optimize for readability first, performance second

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4c82aba. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Ruby Pro loads about 445 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 43 tokens; SKILL.md has 193 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~43
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~445

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
