Deep Hotwire (Turbo, Stimulus, Hotwire Native) mental models, decision frameworks, and internals-informed debugging for Rails apps. Use whenever working with Turbo Drive/Frames/Streams, Morphing, ActionCable broadcasting, Turbo Cache, Stimulus controller design, Hotwire Native (iOS/Android, Path Configuration, Bridge Components), system testing Hotwire features, migrating legacy apps to Turbo, or debugging Hotwire behavior. Triggers on "Turbo Frame not updating", "Content missing…

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

# Hotwire Patterns

Internals-informed patterns for building and debugging Hotwire applications. Core philosophy: **enhance the browser, don't reinvent it**. Start by imagining a JS-free, plain-HTML version of every feature, then compose the separate pages into an integrated UI with Turbo. HTML is the source of truth for state, everywhere.

## The escalation ladder (choose the cheapest tool that works)

Hotwire is a cost/benefit dial, not a single approach. Escalate only when the previous rung stops being a good tradeoff:

1. **Turbo Drive + Morphing refreshes** — re-render everything server-side; fastest to build.
2. **Turbo Frames** — decompose the page; localize updates without touching the rest.
3. **Turbo Stream actions** — surgical DOM updates; more precise, more maintenance cost.
4. **Stimulus** — small client-side behavior where a server round-trip makes no sense.
5. **Island of reactive framework (React/Vue) or API calls** — only for genuinely high-interactivity widgets (maps, editors).

Different parts of one app can sit on different rungs; it all composes.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add maquina-app/rails-claude-code/hotwire-patterns@sha256:83a1e7579cbda024

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260714.753eb0f, 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.
