What it does

Nitro Kit Rails is an agent skill from mikker/nitro_kit. Build or refactor Nitro Kit 2 Rails application features on one conventional path: REST noun resources, tenant-scoped records, rich domain models, state records, standard forms and responses, Minitest fixtures, and server-rendered HTML. Use for CRUD, authentication-adjacent application structure, teams or accounts, publication and other lifecycle state, controllers, models, routes, authorization boundaries, and tests in an application that uses Nitro Kit.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `agents/openai.yaml`).

It sits in Backend & APIs, covering Backend development. The repository describes itself as: A good-to-go UI kit for Ruby on Rails.

When your agent uses it

  • Authentication-adjacent application structure
  • Publication and other lifecycle state
  • Authorization boundaries
  • Tests in an application that uses Nitro Kit

Example prompts

  • “/nitro-kit-rails”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Work from the Rails application root.
  2. Confirm nitro_kit appears in Gemfile.lock at version 2.x.
  3. Run bundle show nitro_kit and treat its output as NITRO_KIT_ROOT.
  4. Read NITRO_KIT_ROOT/docs/agent_guide.md completely.
  5. Read NITRO_KIT_ROOT/docs/rails_conventions.md completely.
  6. For a complete product resource, read
  7. For authentication, teams, application navigation, or settings, read
  8. Read the matching Hotwire recipe before implementing an interaction.
  9. Read NITRO_KIT_ROOT/docs/browser_support.md before claiming an

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2f17524. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bundle
    • rails

    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

Nitro Kit Rails loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 119 tokens; SKILL.md has 601 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~119
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.2k

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.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 601 words (~1,227 tokens).

“Use the Rails conventions shipped with the application's installed Nitro Kit version. Treat them as the greenfield default, not a reason to rewrite an established application outside the requested scope.”
