Use when writing or refactoring plain Ruby outside Rails — scripts, CLIs, gems, libraries: Enumerable chains and blocks, module mixins and value objects, Bundler/gemspec packaging, whether metaprogramming earns its keep, Minitest or RSpec, Ruby 3.4/4.0 frozen-string hygiene. NOT Rails, ActiveRecord, or ActiveSupport idioms (that is `rails`).

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

# Idiomatic Ruby, the language

Write Ruby a senior Rubyist would sign off on: expression-oriented, block-driven,
leaning on `Enumerable` and `Comparable` instead of hand-rolled loops, with
`frozen_string_literal` hygiene and a real `Gemfile`/`.gemspec` when you package.

This is **Ruby the language and its non-Rails ecosystem** — blocks, modules, gems,
metaprogramming, Minitest/RSpec. Delegate: Rails apps, ActiveRecord models, controllers,
migrations, views, Hotwire — anything that loads Rails or uses ActiveSupport/ActiveRecord
idioms — to [`rails`](../rails/SKILL.md); the same task in another language to
[`python`](../python/SKILL.md), [`go`](../go/SKILL.md), [`rust`](../rust/SKILL.md),
[`elixir`](../elixir/SKILL.md), [`php`](../php/SKILL.md) or
[`typescript`](../typescript/SKILL.md); the CI pipeline that runs your Ruby tests to
[`github-actions`](../github-actions/SKILL.md) — this skill writes the tests, not the workflow.

Targets **Ruby 4.0** (released 2025-12-25) on **3.4** semantics: Prism is the default
parser, string literals warn on mutation without a magic comment, `it` is an implicit
block param, and `Set` is now a core class.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add ericrisco/rsc-harness/ruby@sha256:97ffa368b6a67c75

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260729.baa11e7, 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.
