Verify what Ruby versions actually exist and install a specific Ruby via rbenv. Use BEFORE asserting that any Ruby version does or doesn't exist (e.g., "Ruby 4.0 isn't out yet", "the latest Ruby is 3.x", "Ruby X.Y.Z doesn't exist"). Also use when the user asks "what's the latest Ruby", "is Ruby X out", "does Ruby X.Y exist", "install Ruby", "switch to Ruby X", "what Ruby is installed", or mentions a specific Ruby version you're unsure about. Claude's training data may be out of date — run `check.sh` first.

ruby-version

Two-script skill that prevents the agent from hallucinating Ruby release information and provides a one-liner Ruby install.

When to invoke this skill

Mandatory: run check.sh before making any claim about whether a specific Ruby version exists, has been released, or is the latest. Claude's training cutoff lags real Ruby releases — guessing is the failure mode this skill exists to prevent.

Also invoke when the user:

Asks what Ruby versions are installed.
Asks for the latest stable Ruby.
Wants to install a specific Ruby (install.sh).

Scripts

`scripts/check.sh`

Prints:

The latest stable MRI Ruby known to local ruby-build.
All Ruby versions currently installed via rbenv.
The ruby-build version (so staleness is visible — if it's months old, "latest" may lag reality).

bash skills/ruby-version/scripts/check.sh

No arguments. Exits non-zero with a remediation hint if rbenv or ruby-build is missing.

How to read the output: The line beginning latest-stable: is the highest stable MRI release ruby-build knows about. Treat that as ground truth over any version number you recall from training data. The installed: block is what the user has on this machine; an empty list means none installed via rbenv.

`scripts/install.sh <version>`

Installs a specific Ruby via rbenv + ruby-build. Validates the version exists in ruby-build's known list first.

bash skills/ruby-version/scripts/install.sh 3.4.2

Does not set the version as global or local. After install, suggest the user run rbenv global <version> or cd <project> && rbenv local <version> based on their intent.

If the requested version isn't in rbenv install -l, the script prints a hint to upgrade ruby-build (brew upgrade ruby-build) rather than failing silently.

Assumptions

macOS with Homebrew, rbenv, and ruby-build installed.
Scripts are bash (not Ruby) so they work even when Ruby is missing or broken.

Anti-patterns

Do not assert "Ruby X doesn't exist yet" from memory. Run check.sh.
Do not have install.sh auto-set global or local Ruby — that's a user decision.
Do not extend this skill into gemset/bundler management. It is a verification + install helper, nothing more.

document-this

RoleModel/rolemodel-skills

Generate multi-audience documentation from any codebase — workflows for non-technical readers, architecture for developers, and AI orientation for agents. Deterministic JS scripts handle structural extraction; the agent writes the prose. Project-agnostic and self-orienting. Use when the user asks to "document this project", runs `/document-this`, runs `/document-this <file-path>`, runs `/document-this --focus "<Feature Name>"` for a deep-dive on one subsystem in a named subfolder, or wants fresh documentation reflecting the current codebase state.

tdd

RoleModel/rolemodel-skills

Test-driven development and testing patterns for Rails applications. Drives implementation from tests using an outside-in approach with RSpec, Capybara, and FactoryBot. Use when building new features, writing or improving tests, adding test coverage, fixing bugs with a test-first workflow, or when the user mentions TDD, test-driven, test-first, outside-in, spec plan, RSpec, Capybara, system specs, model specs, testing patterns, writing tests, or improving test coverage.

sentry-top-issue

RoleModel/rolemodel-skills

Pick the single highest-priority unresolved Sentry issue and hand it off to a fixer skill. Use when triaging Sentry errors, running automated issue triage, or when asked to fix the top Sentry issue in a project.

rm-sentry-issue-fixer

RoleModel/rolemodel-skills

Find and fix issues from Sentry. Use when asked to fix Sentry errors, debug production issues, investigate exceptions, or resolve bugs reported in Sentry. Methodically analyzes stack traces, breadcrumbs, traces, and context to identify root causes.

cloudflare-tunnel

RoleModel/rolemodel-skills

Expose locally-running apps to stable public HTTPS URLs using a single per-developer Cloudflare Tunnel (cloudflared). Use whenever you need an external service to reach your local dev server — receiving webhooks (Box, Stripe, GitHub, Twilio, etc.), testing OAuth callbacks, sharing a work-in-progress with a teammate, or previewing on a real device. Also use when the user mentions cloudflared, "tunnel", "trycloudflare", "public URL for localhost", "webhook can't reach my machine", or asks how to route a domain to their local port.

optics-context

RoleModel/rolemodel-skills

Use the Optics design framework for styling applications. Apply Optics classes for layout, spacing, typography, colors, and components. Use when working on CSS, styling views, or implementing design system guidelines.
