Use the railstart gem to scaffold Rails applications, initialize or customize `~/.config/railstart`, run `railstart new`, create and test presets, debug YAML config or post-action behavior, and contribute changes to the gem. Trigger when a task involves Railstart CLI usage, Rails 8 starter app generation, preset authoring, YAML question/post-action configuration, Rails template post-actions, or the gem's CLI/config/generator implementation.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Railstart Coder

## Start

- Classify the task first: app generation, config setup, preset authoring, troubleshooting, or gem development.
- In an installed-user context, use `railstart ...`.
- In this repo checkout, use `bundle exec exe/railstart ...` for local CLI verification.
- Do not run `railstart new` unless the user actually wants an app generated. It creates directories and can run post-actions.
- Read [references/cli-and-config.md](references/cli-and-config.md) for command behavior, config layering, and current built-in defaults.
- Read [references/presets-and-post-actions.md](references/presets-and-post-actions.md) before adding or changing presets, custom choices, command actions, or template actions.
- Read [references/gem-development.md](references/gem-development.md) before changing gem code or tests.

## Choose the Right Layer

- Run `railstart init` when the user needs a starting `~/.config/railstart/` tree.
- Edit `~/.config/railstart/config.yaml` for personal defaults that should apply across runs.
- Create a preset file for reusable named stacks or team conventions.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add dpaluy/railstart/railstart-coder@sha256:33e55d4a31763d4d

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261004.1da29d9, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
