Refactor Wheels code for better performance, security, and maintainability. Use when optimizing code, fixing anti-patterns, improving performance, or enhancing security. Provides refactoring patterns and best practices.
Automatically detect and prevent common Wheels framework errors before code is generated. This skill activates during ANY Wheels code generation (models, controllers, views, migrations) to validate patterns and prevent known issues. Scans for mixed arguments, query/array confusion, non-existent helpers, and database-specific SQL.
Generate RESTful API controllers with JSON responses, proper HTTP status codes, and API authentication. Use when creating API endpoints, JSON APIs, or web services. Ensures proper REST conventions and error handling.
Generate authentication system with user model, sessions controller, and password hashing. Use when implementing user authentication, login/logout, or session management. Provides secure authentication patterns and bcrypt support.
Generate Wheels MVC controllers with CRUD actions, filters, parameter verification, and proper rendering. Use when creating or modifying controllers, adding actions, implementing filters for authentication/authorization, handling form submissions, or rendering views/JSON. Ensures proper Wheels conventions and prevents common controller errors.
Troubleshoot common Wheels errors and provide debugging guidance. Use when encountering errors, exceptions, or unexpected behavior. Provides error analysis, common solutions, and debugging strategies for Wheels applications.
Configure Wheels applications for production deployment with security hardening, performance optimization, and environment-specific settings. Use when preparing for production, configuring servers, or hardening security.

Before:
<cfloop query="posts">
<p>#posts.user().name#</p> <!--- N+1 queries! --->
</cfloop>
After:
posts = model("Post").findAll(include="user");
<cfloop query="posts">
<p>#posts.userName#</p> <!--- 1 query! --->
</cfloop>
Before:
posts = model("Post").findAll();
// Associations loaded lazily
After:
posts = model("Post").findAll(include="user,comments,tags");
// All associations loaded upfront
Before:
function show() {
post = model("Post").findByKey(key=params.key);
}
After:
function config() {
verifies(only="show", params="key", paramsTypes="integer");
}
function show() {
post = model("Post").findByKey(key=params.key);
}
Before:
where="userId = #params.userId#" // Vulnerable!
After:
where="userId = #params.userId#" // Wheels escapes automatically
// Or use parameterized queries
Before:
function create() {
user = model("User").new(params.user);
user.password = hash(user.password, "SHA-512");
if (user.save()) {
sendMail(to=user.email, subject="Welcome");
redirectTo(action="show", key=user.key());
}
}
After:
function create() {
user = model("User").new(params.user);
if (user.save()) {
redirectTo(action="show", key=user.key());
}
}
// In User model:
private function hashPassword() {
this.password = hash(this.password, "SHA-512");
}
private function sendWelcomeEmail() {
sendMail(to=this.email, subject="Welcome");
}
